Some aspects of the reproductive biology of Cobitis keyvani (Mousavi-Sabet, Yerli, Vatandoust, Ozeren and Moradkhani, 2012), an endemic Loach fish species from the Talar River in the southern Caspian Sea basin, in north of Iran was studied by regular monthly collections throughout a year. Fecundity, condition factor, gonado-somatic, modified gonado-somatic and Dobriyal indices were estimated. ...

BACKGROUND A small accessory facet with articular surface morphology is occasionally seen on the talus, bordering on the lateral end of the sinus tarsi. This facet has been named the accessory anterolateral talar facet. However, few anatomical studies have addressed this facet. Here we present the precise morphology of accessory anterolateral talar facet with emphasis on anatomical correlation ...

Osteochondral lesions of the talar dome are commonly the result of ankle trauma. While the technique of surgical repair of ankle fractures has been well reported, there are no studies that correlate the presence or absence of talar dome lesions. A possible explanation for this may be lack of intraoperative inspection of the talar articular surface. This retrospective study evaluates the inciden...

BACKGROUND Knowledge about Alburnoides remains lacking relative to many other species, resulting in a lack of a systematic position and taxonomic diagnosis. Basic biological information for Alburnoides has been constructed, and it is necessary to understand further and obtain more information about this species. Its phylogenetic relationships are still debated and no molecular data have been us...

prioritization of sub-watersheds is very important in the natural sources and watershed management. in this study, the morphometric parameter and landuse changes using rs and gis techniques used in order to identify erosion-prone sub-watersheds. the morphometric parameter such as basin relief, the linear parameters (drainage density, bifurcation ratio, length of overland flow, stream frequency ...

.These injuries affect the neck of the talus, more than the head or the body. Talar body fractures of the talus are uncommon accounting for 7– 38% of all talus fractures 4-6 . A combined talar body fracture and medial malleolus fracture is rare. We identified only three cases of this combination without any dislocation of the talar body fragment or pilon fracture. Very few reports in literature...

The purpose of this investigation was to create a flatfoot model and reconstruct the deformity with a novel static medial ligamentous complex (MLC) and to evaluate its ability to correct talar head subluxation and the radiographic flatfoot deformity. Four pairs of matched cadaveric specimens were sectioned to create a severe flatfoot model. Cyclic preconditioning and axial loading was applied t...

CONTEXT Joint arthrometers have been developed to help determine the severity of ligament sprains. OBJECTIVE To establish intratester and intertester reliability of the talar inversion and anterior drawer tests using the LigMaster. DESIGN Intratester reliability was investigated using a repeated-measures design. Intertester reliability was investigated using 2 different clinicians testing s...

Platyrrhines are a diverse group of primates that presently occupy a broad range of tropical-equatorial environments in the Americas. However, most of the fossil platyrrhine species of the early Miocene have been found at middle and high latitudes. Although the fossil record of New World monkeys has improved considerably over the past several years, it is still difficult to trace the origin of ...
