objectives major differences exist in the anatomy and biomechanics of the growing spine that causes failure patterns different from those in adults. spinal injury in the pediatric patient is a main concern because timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment can prevent further neurologic damage and deformity and potentiate recovery. we conducted a retrospective clinical study of 137 cases (93 bo...

scour around bridge piers is one of the most important fields of hydraulic research. local scour around bridge piers and abutment is one of the main reasons of bridge failures. in the field of scour at the bridges, researches are more focus on scour of piers in compare with abutment. while the available information on the bridge failures required cost, the major problems are related to abutment...

The livestock protection collar (LP Collar) i: one of the few technical innovation: developed over the past 20 years fog managing coyote depredation on livestock Invented by Roy McBride in 1970, the LF Collar was researched at length by the Denver Wildlife Research Center (DWRC; and several cooperators before being approved for use with Compound 1080 by the U. With this transfer, the LP collar ...

Study Design Prospective randomized control trial. Objective To investigate the role of cervical collars in postoperative care following 1- and 2-level instrumented anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). Methods The Cervical Spine Research Society Resident Fellow Grant funded this project. Fifty consecutive patients undergoing 1- or 2-level ACDF surgery were randomized into groups ...

Aims, Objectives and Background Approximately 2500 people suffer a traumatic cervical spinal fracture per year in the UK, of which 10–14% have an associated cord injury. Emergency department practice was changed after Sundstrom et al (2014) found existing evidence for spine collars to be weak. From April 2015 new guideline implemented Royal Derby Hospital removing routine use certain groups. Th...

An experimental approach was carried out to study the time development and extension of scouring around a circular pier protected by a collar. The experiments included the study of scouring around an unprotected pier as well as the pier protected with collars located at different levels. Width of collars was 3 times the pier diameter. It was found that with collars, though the scour depth and t...
