background: fractures of distal radius are one of the most common fractures seen by physicians and account for 20% of all fractures seen in the emergency room. various factors contribute in secondary displacement of fracture fragments after anatomic or near anatomic close reduction and cast immobilization in distal radius fractures. this study was designed to examine the correlation between rad...

In this paper it is argued that Hintikka’s game theoretical semantics for Independence Friendly logic does not formalize the intuitions about independent choices; it rather is a formalization of imperfect information. Furthermore it is shown that the logic has several strange properties (e.g. renaming of bound variables is not allowed). An alternative semantics is proposed which formalizes intu...

Several variants of a first-order simplification rule for nonnormal form tableaux using syntactic constraints are presented. These can be used as a framework for porting methods like unit resolution or hyper tableaux to non-normal form free variable tableaux.

An alternative approach to the semantics of definite descriptions was proposed by Heim in her dissertation [1982]. Heim assigns to pragmatics a larger part of the task of specifying the meaning of definite descriptions than the neo-Russellians do. In Heim’s theory, definite and indefinite NPs are semantically equivalent, and both introduce free variables. The truth conditions proposed by Heim f...

INTRODUCTION Forward fall-related distal radius fractures account for approximately 20% of all fractures and continue to be the most commonly seen by orthopaedic surgeons [1]. Regardless, our understanding of how these injuries result from dynamic, three dimensional impacts is limited. Duma et al. in 2002 [2] presented an injury risk criteria model for these fractures that included peak axial f...

Distal clavicle fractures in adolescent patients may benefit from surgical intervention depending on fracture pattern, age of the patient, and other variables. Less-invasive techniques allowing earlier mobilization, decreased pain, and no requirement for hardware removal are attractive. A technique of double-button suture fixation is useful for the treatment of distal clavicle fractures in the ...

conclusions hematoma block analgesia used in distal radius fractures of the elderly is a very safe and effective method that seems preferable to general anesthesia in emergency departments. objectives the aim of this study was to compare two analgesia methods including hematoma block and general anesthesia in people over 60 years in the orthopedic emergency department. methods 68 elderly patien...

background:  fractures of the distal third of the tibia are mostly associated with a fibular fracture that often requires fixation. the preferred treatment of distal tibial fracture is the minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis  (mippo) procedure. however, there are no clear cut guidelines on fixation of the fibular fracture and currently most orthopedic surgeons use a plate osteo...
