ganglion cysts commonly occur around the shoulder, mostly in the spinoglenoid and suprascapular notches. we report a very rare case of intra articular ganglion cyst of the long head of the biceps tendon that originated from the bicipital groove as a rare cause of shoulder pain.

background: forward head posture (fhp) is recognized as a common postural disorder of modern societies. increase in anterior cervical convexity and anterior displacement of the line of gravity of head in individuals with fhp is assumed to result in altered moment arms and muscle activity on cervical spine. measurement of muscle thickness seems to be an appropriate index for muscle activity. thi...

introduction: in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, dosimetric studies are performed on the dosimetric systems in order to comply the radiation safety standards. monte carlo methods are used due to the high complexity and cost of patient-specific phantom construction. the high complexity of the digitized phantoms greatly increases the time and computational task of the monte carlo calculati...

background and aim: the video head-impulse test (vhit) measures the vestibulo-ocular reflex (vor) driven by each semicircular canal, follo­wing high-acceleration head rotations. the main measurable response is the ratio of eye mov­ement velocity to the angular head velocity, which reflects canal function. although norma­tive data is available for vor gain, most studies only report horizontal vo...

although esophageal liposarcoma is an extremely rare tumor, liposarcoma is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in adults. liposarcoma is currently classified into the types of well-differentiated, myxoid, round cell, pleomorphic and dedifferentiated liposarcoma. up to now only a few cases of esophagus liposarcoma have been described in the world literature. we describe a myxoid type liposarcoma...

conclusions this phenomenon has been reported as a rare complication of septic arthritis and osteomyelitis. treatment of these patients is controversial and the long term results are unknown but efforts must be done for early diagnosis and anatomic reduction of femoral epiphysis. introduction slipped capital femoral epiphysis (scfe) is one of the complications of septic arthritis that occurs ra...

in this paper, we study wsn design, as a multi-objective optimization problem using ga technique. we study the effects of ga parameters including population size, selection and crossover method and mutation probability on the design. choosing suitable parameters is a trade-off between different network criteria and characteristics. type of deployment, effect of network size, radio communication...

background: recently, motile sperm organelle morphology examination (msome) criteria as a new real time tool for evaluation of spermatozoa in intracytoplasmic sperm injection (icsi) cycles has been considered. objective: the aim was to investigate the predictive value of msome in in vitro fertilization (ivf) in comparison to icsi cycles and evaluation of the association between msome parameters...

Introduction: The lack of adequate blood perfusion through different organs of the body, including the brain and skull, can be caused by any type of circulation abnormality. The purpose of this study is to compare cephalometric indices between infants under the age of 12 months who have congenital heart disease (CHD) and normal infants. Materials and Methods: This case-control study was ca...
