Radial head dislocation associated with plastic bowing of the ulna is classified as a Monteggia equivalent lesion. This injury in children can be treated by closed reduction, but manipulative reduction may not completely correct plastic bowing of the ulna. We encountered two cases of incomplete reduction in which the radial head was reduced in a supination position, but redislocated during rota...

A summary is first presented of the conceptual difficulties and paradoxes surrounding plastic bifurcation buckling analysis. Briefly discussed are nonconservativeness, loading rate during buckling, and the discrepancy of buckling predictions with use of .I2 flow theory vs JZ deformation theory. The axisymmetric prebuckling analysis, including large deflections, elastic-plastic material behavior...

OBJECTIVE To review the indications, surgical techniques, and results of vertical lobule division (VLD) of the alar cartilages as they relate to the M-Arch Model. DESIGN Retrospective study of patients who underwent VLD of the lower lateral cartilages at a private facial plastic surgery practice in a major university teaching hospital. RESULTS Vertical lobule division decreased projection i...

FoF1-ATP synthase manufactures the energy ‘‘currency,’’ ATP, of living cells. The soluble F1 portion, called F1-ATPase, can act as a rotary motor, with ATP binding, hydrolysis, and product release, inducing a torque on the -subunit. A coarse-grained plastic network model is used to show at a residue level of detail how the conformational changes of the catalytic -subunits act on the -subunit th...

Nanograin rotation via grain boundary sliding has been predicted as an important deformation mode in nanocrystalline materials as grain sizes approach less than 10 nm (1–3). However, definite experimental evidence beyond molecular dynamics (MD) simulations has been long sought. Recently, Shan et al. (4) reported in situ straining dark-field transmission electron microscope (DFTEM) observations ...

BACKGROUND Plastic surgery is among the most competitive specialties in medicine, but little is known about the attributes of programs that are most attractive to successful applicants. This study aimed to understand and provide insights regarding program characteristics that are most influential to students when ranking plastic surgery programs. METHODS An anonymous online survey was conduct...

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the workability of fresh portland cement concrete while it is still in the mixing truck by determining fundamental rheological parameters (plastic viscosity and yield stress). Nine concrete mixtures with different values of yield stress and plastic viscosity were tested in a concrete truck. The measurements made with the truck were based on the ty...

With the development of plastic surgery techniques, computer aided approach has become a significant method in medical plastic surgery. In order to solve effects on surgical results made by the surface of a wound in craniofacial cosmetic surgery, accurate preoperative preparation is usually required for the surgery. This paper summarizes the application of computer aided technology in craniofac...
