the development and widespread use of a prophylactic vaccine significantly reduced the incidence of poliomyelitis. at present we more commonly encounter with poliomyelitis sequelae especially in developing countries. we evaluate the results of a modified innominate osteotomy for leg length discrepancy in poliomyelitis. instead of triangular bone graft as in salter’s innominate osteotomy , a tra...

The authors aimed to investigate the relation between components of adult height (leg and trunk length) and atherosclerosis in middle age, using data from 12,254 participants (aged 44-65 years) in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study. Intimal-medial thickness (IMT) as measured by B-mode ultrasound was the outcome, and exposures were trunk and leg lengths as estimated (using sitt...

352 groups of dilated follicular openings filled with black, hard plugs, distributed over left cheek, left arm and forearm, left side of the chest [Figure 1], abdomen, left thigh and left leg along Blaschko’s lines. The lesions over the abdomen revealed a nodulocystic swelling associated with purulent discharge [Figure 2]. The right half of the body and palms and soles over both sides were spared.

Grasshoppers are divided into two major subgroups: the short-horned grasshoppers (Figure 1) and the long-horned grasshoppers, Mormon crickets and katydids (Figure 2). Short-horned grasshoppers are responsible for most of the reported crop losses. As a result, individuals of this subgroup are popularly referred to as “grasshoppers.” Figure 1. A mature two-striped female grasshopper (Melanoplus b...

We study the deformations of the H equations, presented recently by Adler, Bobenko and Suris, which are naturally defined on a black-white lattice. For each one of these equations, two different three-leg forms are constructed, leading to two different discrete Toda type equations. Their multidimensional consistency leads to Bäcklund transformations relating different members of this class, as ...

Beta vulgaris L. (sugar beet, table beet, mangel) is subject to a disease known as blackroot. Buchholtz and Meredith (1944:488) refer to the condition as tiprot, and earlier, Murphy (1927) called it rootburn of beets. Both Byford and Prince (1976) and W. C. Moore (1959) discussed the disease as “black leg.” In 1949(b) Ernould demonstrated that blackroot was not the same pathological condition a...

conclusions the frequency of rls among our patients was remarkable and we conclude that all patients who are undergoing hemodialysis should be screened for rls, which can assist in providing proper attention and treatment. results according to our results, 54.5% of patients were diagnosed with rls, and of those 65.2% and 42.9% were women and men, respectively. rls is seen more often among patie...
