PURPOSE Multiple meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials have been conducted to compare clinical and functional outcomes after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using metallic interference screw (MIS) versus bioabsorbable interference screw (BIS) fixation, but discrepancies in their findings have prevented a consensus conclusion. The purposes of this study were (1) to conduc...

The intralaminar screw construct has been recently introduced in C6-C7 fixation. The aim of the study is to compare the stability afforded by three different C7 posterior fixation techniques using a three-dimensional finite element model of a C6-C7 cervical spine motion segment. Finite element models representing three different cervical anchor types (C7 intralaminar screw, C7 lateral mass scre...

An agar sediment test was developed to evaluate the suitability of organic waste streams from the food industry for recovering nutrients by the aquatic worm Lumbriculus variegatus (Lv). The effects of agar gel, sand, and food quantities in the sediment test on worm growth, reproduction, and water quality were studied. Agar gel addition ameliorated growth conditions by reducing food hydrolysis a...

This study aimed to measure the preload in different implant platform geometries based on micro-CT images. External hexagon (EH) implants and Morse Tapered (MT) implants (n=5) were used for the preload measurement. The abutment screws were scanned in micro-CT to obtain their virtual models, which were used to record their initial length. The abutments were screwed on the implant with a 20 Ncm t...

This is the second report of conjunctival sac pinworm infection in the literature. The patient was treated with garlic juice, which was prepared as an eye drop. The first case reported from India was a IS year old girl who had pinworm infection of her left eye. She had wonnexpulsion•at night. Our case was a 13 year old girl who had worm infestation in both eyes, along with frequent pinworm ...

From it known that stresses occur screw are nominal shear 18.18 N/mm², axial -10.41 bending 54.66 acting on base 65.41 N/mm². The number press one hour 121 cycles. Number cycle occurs worm 2.625x105 field conditions with pressure fluctuatin...

BACKGROUND Wound myiasis in the Indian subcontinent is most commonly caused by old world screw-worm (Chrysomya bezziana). CASE REPORT AND MANAGEMENT A 4-year-old malnourished girl presented with full thickness rectal prolapse following acute diarrhea with a large wound and screwworm myiasis of the rectum. Turpentine oil was applied to immobilize the maggots followed by manual extraction. Prol...
