We present a method to automatically reposition the fragments of a broken bone based on surface meshes segmented from CT scans. The result of this virtual fracture reduction is intended to be used as an operation plan for a medical procedure. Particularly in minimally invasive surgery like intramedullary nailing, the correct repositioning of bone fragments is not always apparent or visible with...

BACKGROUND Reduction of nasal bone fracture can be performed under general or local anesthesia. The aim of this study was to compare general anesthesia (GA) and monitored anesthetic care (MAC) with dexmedetomidine based on intraoperative vital signs, comfort of patients, surgeons and nurses and the adverse effects after closed reduction of nasal bone fractures. METHODS Sixty patients with Ame...

O steoporosis, with its attendant fractures, is one of the most common and heartbreaking conditions in our aging society. In the United States, 2 million osteoporotic fractures occur each year, of which some 600,000 are in men (1). These skeletal events cause significant pain, disability, and functional impairment. For patients with a hip fracture, two-thirds must spend time in a rehabilitation...

PURPOSE To assess the prevalence of verbally and physically aggressive behaviors in dating relationships in a sample of Spanish adolescents. METHODS Cross-sectional self-report data were obtained with The Modified Conflict Tactics Scale (MCTS) from a representative sample of 2416 adolescents and young adults of both genders, between ages of 16 and 20 years.

Abstract Bone fracture treatment aims for restoring the function of a broken bone, and scaphoid fracture, conventional cast is an example commonly used treatment. However, due to its downsides, development customized three-dimensional (3D) printed hand getting more attention. It lightweight, easy manage, has good ventilation hygienic properties. Hence, this study fabricate 3D in treating fractu...

Introduction: In this study, the effect of para-nonylphenol as an environmental pollutant on viability, morphology and proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells was investigated. Methods: Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells of rat were treated with the 0.5, 1, 2.5, 3.5 and 5 μM of paranonylphenol for a period of 21 days, then the viability of the cells were estimated using trypan bl...

The increased frequency of sudden cardiac death after earthquakes and bombings has long proposed that emotional distress plays a role in acute coronary syndromes and arrhythmias. Since the 1960s, several controlled, prospective, epidemiological studies have reported emotional distress as a major risk factor for the onset and worsening of coronary heart disease (CHD) [1]. The Interheart study, a...

Bone fractures are a medical condition where the continuity of the bone is broken due to a fall or accident. The fracture may also be the result of medical conditions such as osteoporosis, cancers of bone or osteogenesis imperfect. During the bone fracture healing process, the mesenchymal stem cells (undifferentiated connective tissue cells) are recruited from local and systemic sources. The mo...

There was a medium-sized laceratad wound in front of the left, shoulder, through which the sharp-pointed broken end of the bone protruded for nearly two inches. The seat of the fracture was at the surgical neck, and the direction was oblique from above downwards and inwards. The upper end of the lower fragment was split across for nearly two inches, broken into two other smaller bits, and the p...
