Review of Raquel Rolnik, Urban Warfare. A global panorama housing policy in the era footloose financial capital.

PURPOSE We evaluated the initial bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) graft fixation strength of biodegradable pins compared with interference screws in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using bovine knees. TYPE OF STUDY Biomechanical in vitro study. METHODS Ten BPTB grafts from human donors fixed with 2 biodegradable 2.7-mm pins (Rigid Fix; Ethicon, Mitek Division, Norderstedt, Germany...

1. A set of S real numbers which has inner measure m*(S) different from its outer measure m*iS) is non-measurable. An extreme form, which we shall call saturated non-measurability, occurs when ra*(S)=0 but m*iSM)=miM) for every measurable set M, miM) denoting the measure of M. This is equivalent to: both S and its complement have zero inner measure. More generally, if a fixed set B of positive ...

tooth/implant supported fixed prostheses may present biomechanical design problems, as the implant is rigidly anchored within the alveolus, whereas the tooth is attached by the periodontal ligament to the bone allowing movement. many clinicians prefer tooth/implant supported fixed prosthesis designs with rigid connectors. however, there are some doubts about the effect of attachment placement i...

AIM To investigate whether routine formalin fixation of all brains coming to necropsy increases the rate of detection of brain abnormalities relative to either selective formalin fixation of brain tissue or fresh dissection of all brain tissue at the time of post mortem examination. METHODS A retrospective study of 300 medicolegal necropsies was performed. One hundred cases were examined by d...
