One hundred and sixty five cases of various types of transposition complexes were studied. Based on this and on recent studies of the embryology of the conotruncus, the following observations were made. Regardless of their relations with the ventricles, the semilunar valves may show d-transposition or i-transposition. In the situs solitus heart, the d-type of semilunar transposition is found in...

Two-dimensional echocardiography was performed in two cases of distal type aorticopulmonary window. The defect of the aorticopulmonary septum could be visualised in both cases in transverse section of the great arteries using our method. We make it a rule to study three different levels of section: plane 1, where the echo of the semilunar valve of the posterior great artery is well seen; plane ...

Rotation strain, caused by twisting of the knee. If weight is being borne on the flexed knee with the foot firmly anchored to the ground, the force of the injury in addition to stretching or tearing the coronary ligaments may cause a split or fracture of the semilunar cartilage. When no weight is borne, or if the foot be not held, the semilunar may escape. The modern football boot, with good st...

The prediction of aerodynamic characteristics and smart flap of airfoil under the ground effect are carried out by the integration of computational fluid dynamics. Considering different types of beams, a parametric bending profile of a smart flap is designed. Cantilever beam with uniformly varying load with roller support at the free end is considered in here. A pressure-based implicit procedur...

BACKGROUND Reconstruction of upper extremity deformities continues to be a challenge to the reconstructive surgeon. Various loco regional, distant and free flaps are available for reconstruction. However, each has its own set of advantages and disadvantages. Of the commonly performed local flaps, radial artery forearm flap, and the posterior interosseus artery flap stand out prominently. Rec...
