Scoliosis, kyphosis, and bone fracture are health problems, especially of the elderly throughout the world. The vertebra protects the spinal cord. Any impairment to the vertebra can lead to pain and nervousness. Ni-Ti alloy (Nitinol) helps to resolve the problem by fulfilling such requirements as for strength, durability, resistance to wear, and shockwave damping which is due to the shape memor...

KEY FINDINGS: This Policy Synthesis examines the evidence on changes in household income and consumption to understand the apparent paradox of improving child nutrition indicators during a period of extreme and increasing poverty and vulnerability among the poorest households. While households in the three poorest categories demonstrated lower total incomes compared to the poorest categories in...

DNA based nanostructures built on a long single stranded DNA scaffold, known as DNA origamis, offer the possibility to organize various molecules at the nanometer scale in one pot experiments. The folding of the scaffold is guaranteed by the presence of short, single stranded DNA sequences (staples), that hold together separate regions of the scaffold. In this paper, we modelize the annealing-m...

OBJECTIVE In this study, we tested 3 techniques of atrial septal defect closure under real-time 3-dimensional echocardiography guidance in a swine model. METHODS The operations were conducted under the sole guidance of a modified real-time 3-dimensional echocardiography guidance system with a x4 matrix transducer (Sonos 7500, Philips Medical Systems, Andover, Mass). Eighteen swine were anesth...

Leg Equalization by Epiphyseal Arrest 1952-1970 Mr. J. G. H. James (Cardiff and Neath) reviewed a personal series of 246 cases of leg disparity: 114 had been followed to maturity and 67 cases of epiphyseal stapling were analysed in detail. The intention was to staple one or both epiphyses under direct vision with accurate placement of the posterior femoral and lateral tibial staples particularl...

Bone staples are commonly used as a method of fixation in orthopedics, often at or near the joint line of the knee. Specific uses in sports medicine include ligament reconstruction fixation. Like all orthopedic hardware, these staples may break or loosen years after a successful ligament reconstruction and cause local, intra-articular' or remote symptoms. This article presents an unusual case i...
