The results of anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty and reverse shoulder arthroplasty have previously been reported separately. Although the indications differ, scenarios exist in which a patient may have a total shoulder arthroplasty on 1 shoulder and a reverse shoulder arthroplasty on the contralateral shoulder.Between 1992 and 2009, twelve patients underwent bilateral sequential primary shou...

A general constraint within wireless network environments is the short lifetime of mobile terminal batteries. Energy efficient wireless communication protocols that adapt to terminal battery power levels may be used to lessen the effects of this limitation. This paper addresses the problem of adaptive energy efficient algorithms within medium access control (MAC) protocols for wireless networks...

We have carried out spectrum calculations with two avors of dynamical KogutSusskind quarks on four lattice sizes from 83 24 to 163 24 at couplings that correspond to chiral symmetry restoration for a lattice with 6 time slices. We estimate that the linear spatial sizes of the lattices range from 1.8 to 3.6 fm. We nd signi cant nite size e ects for all particles between the smallest and largest ...

OBJECTIVES Bisphosphonates are widely used as first-line treatment for primary and secondary prevention of fragility fractures. Whilst they have proved effective in this role, there is growing concern over their long-term use, with much evidence linking bisphosphonate-related suppression of bone remodelling to an increased risk of atypical subtrochanteric fractures of the femur (AFFs). The obje...

This study explores the firm’s readiness for developing emerging technology in e−business. By proposing a framework that captures technological, financial, and human capability within the firm and includes the environmental drivers of e−business, covering from partner willingness, capability, and power to collaboration readiness, this work develops a measurement model that organizations can eva...

OBJECTIVES To determine the relative frequencies and prevalence rates of pathogenic Escherichia coli and intestinal parasites in hospitalised infants (0-5 years) in Kumasi. DESIGN A prospective descriptive study of screening 162 (83 males and 79 females) infants with diarrhoea and 122(64 males and 58 females) non-diarrhoeal infants controls for pathogens (E. coli and intestinal parasites) by ...

Background and Aim: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the 13th most common cancer worldwide and accounts for 4% of all adult malignancies. Herein the state of the art and recent advances in cross-sectional radiological imaging applied to RCC are reviewed, including ultrasonography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and positron emission tomography. Methods: Literature search of peer-...
