background:  hip fracture management in supine position on a fracture table with biplane fluoroscopic views has some difficulties which leads to prolongation of surgery and increasing x- rays’ dosage. the purpose of this study was to report the results and complications of hip fracture management in lateral position on a conventional operating table with just anteroposterior fluoroscopic view. ...

legg-calvé-perthes disease (lcpd) is an idiopathic osteonecrosis of the femoral head with variable complications and resultant deformity of the femoral head and osteoarthritis. suggested risk factors are acetabular retroversion, obesity, latitude, hyperactivity, and coagulopathy. the most commonly applied classification is based on radiolucency in the lateral pillar of the femoral head, which i...

introduction: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the sealing ability of 3 obturation techniques in oval-shaped canals by bacterial leakage assessment. methods: sixty mandibular incisors with oval canals were selected after providing buccolingual and mesiodistal radiographs. the teeth were sectioned at a 10 mm distance from the apex. after instrumentation, the teeth were divided into 3 gr...

amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (als) misdiagnosis has many broad implications for the patient and the neurologist. potentially curative treatments exist for certain als mimic syndromes, but delay in starting these therapies may have an unfavorable effect on outcome. hence, it is important to exclude similar conditions. in this review, we discuss some of the important mimics of als.

due to its critical impact and significant destructive nature during and after seismic events, soil liquefaction and liquefactioninduced lateral ground spreading have been increasingly important topics in the geotechnical earthquake engineering field during the past four decades. the aim of this research is to develop an empirical model for the assessment of liquefaction-induced lateral ground ...
