OBJECTIVE The goal of the study was to compare functional results in different treament options in cutting-out, and analize factors associated to failure. MATERIAL AND METHODS Retrospective cohort study in 56 patients diagnosed with cutting-out between 2000-2010. Groups were based on rescue treatment: arthroplasty versus alternative treatment. Demographics, fracture characteristics, osteosynt...

Mouse fibroblasts, deficient in DNA polymerase ß (ß-pol), are hypersensitive to monofunctional DNA methylating agents such as methyl methanesulfonate (MMS). Both wild-type, and in particular repair deficient ßpol null cells, are highly sensitized to the cytotoxic effects of MMS by 4-amino-1,8naphthalimide (4-AN), an inhibitor of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) activity. Experiments with sync...

Hyperglycemia is one of the diabetes mellitus characteristics. Soursop leaves (Annona muricata L.) has been used traditionally to reduce blood glucose level and clinically need be proven. The aim this study was observe effect ethanol extract soursop (EDS) on levels hyperglycemia mice (Mus musculus). This an experimental with a pre-post test control group design. Thirty as animal models induced ...

A Swr-Edwards Silsstic hd-valve prosthesis was inserted in 100 seriously d l M e d patients with isolated aortic (55 case) or m i l d (45 caws) valve dbease. The follow-up study for periods of Urree years or more resulted in the following points. The o v e d mortslity rate reached 35 percent in both groups. but the operative risks were t h m times lea in the mrtic thno in the m i i d group. Thr...

Study of the neutrinoless double beta decay, 0νββ, includes a variety of problems of nuclear structure theory. They are reviewed here. The problems range from the mechanism of the decay, i.e. exchange of the light Majorana neutrino neutrino vesus the exchange of some heavy, so far unobserved particle. Next, the proper expressions for the corresponding operator are described that should include ...

Radiotherapy treament planning implies to delineate on the CT image of the patient the organs at risk where the dose has to be controlled. To avoid manual contouring that is tedious and prone to inter-expert variability, algorithms able to provide these delineations automatically can be helpful for the clinicians. This paper presents a multiatlas based segmentation procedure to segment the paro...
