In this study, the seasonal variation of fecundity, wing and tibia length were investigated in natural populations of Chrysomya albiceps (Wiedemann, 1819) in an attempt to determine the changes in life history of the species as a function of seasonality. A relative constant temporal trajectory was found for fecundity, wing and tibia length over twenty-four months. Positive correlations between ...

objective(s): to evaluate the protective effect of erdosteine, an antiapoptotic and antioxidant agent, on torsion–detorsion evoked histopathological changes in experimental ovarian ischemia-reperfusion (ir) injury. materials and methods: eighteen female wistar albino rats were used in control, ir, and ir+edosteine (ir-e) groups, (n=6 in each). the ir-e group received the erdosteine for seven da...

The combination of plate and intramedullary nailing has been established as the treatment proximal tibial fractures. Nevertheless, at distal end tibia, application plate-assisted is rarely applied a therapeutic technique. authors provide technical note on use reduction plating technique for nail insertion management tibia fractures.

Shortening of oblique left ventricular (LV) fibers results in torsion. A unique relationship between volume and torsion is therefore expected, and the effects of load and contractility on torsion should be predictable. However, volume-independent behavior of torsion has been observed, and the effects of load on this deformation remain controversial. We used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with...

The study of modules over a finite von Neumann algebra A can be advanced by the use of torsion theories. In this work, some torsion theories for A are presented, compared and studied. In particular, we prove that the torsion theory (T,P) (in which a module is torsion if it is zero-dimensional) is equal to both Lambek and Goldie torsion theories for A. Using torsion theories, we describe the inj...

Corrective osteotomies are often planned and performed on the basis of normal anatomical proportions. We have evaluated the length and torsion of the segments of the lower limb in normal individuals, to analyse the differences between left and right sides, and to provide tolerance figures for both length and torsion. We used CT on 355 adult patients and measured length and torsion by the Ulm me...

Background The tibial cut referenced to the center of the intercondylar eminence often leads to varus malalignment in the presence of preexisting proximal tibia vara. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of lateralization of the lateral tibial plateau reference point (based on the amount of proximal tibia vara) on the postoperative coronal plane alignment. Methods In this p...

Condyle of femur (F) and tibia (T) are key bony landmarks around the knee joint. The condyles contour extraction is the first key step towards: quantification of femorotibial (FT) joint space width (JSW), to assess FT joint space narrowing (JSN), to determine knee joint alignment angles and in defining the lateral and medial condyle radii. This paper aims to contour extraction of femur and tibi...

This study reports the effects of a 14-day spaceflight followed by a 14-day reambulation period on bones of 56-day-old male rats compared with synchronous (S) and vivarium (V) control animals. Femur, tibia, and humerus bone mineral densities (BMD); bone calcium and phosphorus concentrations ([Ca2+] and [P]), measured by X-ray microanalysis (XRM), on tibia, vertebra, and calvaria; and histomorph...

Introduction: The combination of tibia plateau and shaft fractures, previously reported as type of “bifocal” tibia fracture, is a rare injury.1 The majority of tibia plateau fractures and bifocal tibia fractures occur after high-energy trauma.1,2 The treatment of these injuries varies depending on type, mechanism of injury, and patient characteristics. Case Presentation: We report the case of o...
