purpose: to investigate demographic, clinical and histopathologic features of consecutive exotropia. methods: patients with consecutive exotropia who underwent surgery in farabi hospital between september 2014 and april 2015 were enrolled in this study. after complete ophthalmologic examination and far and near deviation measurement, all patients with negative forced duction test underwent 4-mm...

background: while various radiographic parameters and application of manual/gravity stress have been proposed to elucidate instability for weber b fibula fractures, the prognostic capability of these modalities remains unclear. determination of anatomic positioning of the mortise is paramount. we propose a novel view, the gravity reduction view (grv), which helps elucidate non-anatomic position...

conclusion lumbar medial branch nerve block under ultrasound guidance was associated with high rates of treatment success and excellent treatment outcomes for facet joint pain. it is also feasible and administers no radiation. thus, ultrasound-guided procedures can be used instead of conventional methods. results the success rate was 98% (87/89 blocks), which was due to our use of ultrasound gu...

Evidence indicates that medial septum nicotinic receptors regulate cognitive process. Ghrelin is a gut hormone that regulates energy homeostasis. Ghrelin also is produced in brain and known to be involved in cognitive function. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effects of medial septal injection of ghrelin on morphine-induced memory impairment in rats. Also, the possible relationship...

Background: It was intended to investigate the effect of physical wedge (PW) and enhanced dynamic wedges (EDW) on contralateral breast dose during primary breast irradiation in radiotherapy treatment, using high energy photon beams. Materials and Methods: The Varian’s Clinac dual mode linear accelerator model 2100 C/D and Siemen’s Primus accelerators were used for radiation doses wi...
