Eighteen consecutive patients, treated with a Taylor Spatial Frame for complex tibia conditions, gave their informed consent to undergo Na(18)F(-) PET/CT bone scans. We present a Patlak-like analysis utilizing an approximated blood time-activity curve eliminating the need for blood aliquots. Additionally, standardized uptake values (SUV) derived from dynamic acquisitions were compared to this P...

INTRODUCTION Neglected case of nonunion of fracture both bones forearm with deformity is very difficult to manage. Treatment options are minimal. Identifying such a case in literature is also very rare. One such rare case is discussed here. CASE REPORT Here, we present a case of a 65-year-old male patient, who was operated 15 years back for fracture both bones forearm, with 3.5 mm dynamic com...

Dental implants have been used in replacing broken or damaged teeth. There are failures after the operation was done due to lack of primary stability. Through improving design dental implant, stability can be achieved. The aim study is analyse stress distribution at bone-implant interface different micro-thread designs. Five types two-dimension shapes implant embedded bone cube modeled ANSYS AP...

The hair was immediately removed from the neighbourhood of the wound, and as it was matted with blood the whole scalp was subsequently shaved, when also a contused wound was found to exist over the parietal bone of the same side'. A bluut probe was carefully introduced and gently pressed against the cut edges of the bone, but no broken portions were felt, so I did not consider it justifiable to...

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 blue ...

This is a draft of a chapter for a book, Modification, in preparation for the Cambridge University Press series Key Topics in Semantics and Pragmatics. The full manuscript is also available as a single document on my website, as are some additional chapters. The book is something between a textbook for people who already have a basic background in semantics and a survey of work in the area. For...

Introduction: The Damage Control Orthopedics (DCO) with external fixation is the most valuable aid for a surgeon, when a quick and efficient solution to war and civil injuries to the extremities and pelvis is needed. Material and methods: 2462 wounded patients were analyzed in this study. These patients sustained injuries to the extremities, abdomen, thorax and head, and received primary surgic...

instrument breakage during treatment can lead to serious complications and carries the risk of treatment failure. when a file breaks in the canal, bypassing or removal can be difficult and the long-term prognosis of the tooth may be compromised. sometimes surgery may be indicated for removal of the broken segment. often some part of the root cannot be cleaned because of blockage by the broken f...

INTRODUCTION Comminuted fracture of patella is most commonly treated by tension band wiring with cerclage wiring. Broken cerclage wiring after such surgery is not uncommon but intra-articular migration of broken cerclage wire is rarely known and described complication. CASE REPORT A 51-year-old male patient of Indian origin which was treated, 15 months back for fracture patella with tension b...
