radial polydactyly, the most common digital duplication in asian and white populations, has a wide range of manifestations. its classification is useful for planning and assessing surgical treatment. our patient had four thumbs, duplicated radial carpal bones, and a bifurcated radius. this presentation is not covered by any of the current classifications. to the best of our knowledge, this is t...

In the present study, five modeling approaches of RA, MLP, MNN, GFF, and CANFIS were applied so as to estimate the radial overcut values in electrochemical drilling process. For these models, four input variables, namely electrolyte concentration, voltage, initial machining gap, and tool feed rate, were selected. The developed models were evaluated in terms of their prediction capability with m...

introduction: lasers, light emitting diodes (leds) and super luminous diodes (slds) are widely used to treat selected musculoskeletal, integumentary and neurological conditions. the mechanisms underlying the reported treatment effects of light therapy are unclear and the physiologic effect of light on a variety of tissues, particularly neurological, is mostly unknown. a few researchers have rep...

Due to the importance effect of magnetic field on the history of long-term radial and circumfer-ential creep strain and radial displacement for a three-phase nano-composite exposed to an internal pressure and placed uniform temperature, the present article subject has been pro-posed. Three-phase nano-composite made of single-walled carbon nano tubes (SWCNTs)/ glass fiber (GF)/vinylester used to...

the radial trace transform was introduced by the stanford exploration project many years ago (ottolini, 1979 and claerbout, 1983), primarily for use in migration and imaging applications. it has been shown subsequently, because of its particular geometry, to be very useful for wavefield separation (claerbout, 1983) and coherent noise attenuation (henley, 1999). the radial trace transform, unlik...

analysis of non-laminar flows in coarse alluvial beds has a wide range of applications in various civil engineering, oil and gas, and geology problems. darcy equation is not valid to analyze transient and turbulent flows, so non-linear equations should be applied. non-linear equations are classified into power and binomial equations. binomial equation is more accurate in a wide range of velocit...

Three hundred consecutive cases of radial keratotomy performed between 1985 and 1990 were reviewed. There were no sight threatening complications of surgery and no patient lost one or more lines of corrected Snellen acuity. Overall 78.7% saw 6/12 or better unaided postoperatively and 51.7% saw 6/6 or better. Refraction showed 61.3% to be within 1 dioptre of emmetropia and 86.7% were within 2 di...

congenital radial club hand is an intercalary or terminal deficiency characterized by radial deviation of the hand, marked shortening of the forearm, and generalized underdevelopment of the extremity. we performed centralization of the ulna in 12 forearms of 10 patients with severe congenital radial club hands. the mean follow up was 42 months after operation (24 to 68 months). the mean age at ...
