Despite best efforts from security API designers, flaws are often found in widely deployed security APIs. Even APIs with a formal proof of security may not guarantee absolute security when used in a real-world device or application. In parallel to spending research efforts to improve security of these APIs, we argue that it may be worthwhile to explore design criteria that would reduce the impa...

 Abstract Background: Distal Radial fracture is one of the most common fractures of the skeletal system. Although it has been believed to be a simple fracture with excellent outcomes, practical operations’ results have always been undesirable and even poor. The goal of this study was to compare two methods of treatment “pin and plaster and precautious pin fixation in patients with unstable extr...

Fig. 1. Computed (CT) tomography showed migration of the pin into the descending aorta with the result of hemothorax. The pin was extracted via left thoracotomy by pulling out from the part of needle which was out of the aorta, immediately after CT evaluation. Fig. 2. Computed tomography showed migration of the pin outside the left main bronchus into mediastinum 1 cm distal to the carina. The p...

A common mode of limb suspension for transtibial amputees is the pin liner/shuttle lock system. Despite its popularity, some clinicians question its use because of observed daily and chronic changes to the residual limb. For this study, we measured limb interface pressures during ambulation with pin and suction suspension systems. No pressure differences were seen between the modes of suspensio...

OBJECTIVE To develop a distance measure based methodology to support the morphological evaluation of high grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN), a direct precursor of prostate cancer. METHODS Eight morphological and cellular features were analysed in 20 cases of high grade PIN found in radical prostatectomy specimens from patients with adenocarcinoma. The diagnostic distance was eva...

Dear Editor These ultrasound images (Fig. 1. Images A–D) convey an enlarged posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) with interruption of the PIN course by dislodgement of the distal of two Mitek anchors inserted 5 years previously for a biceps tendon rupture raising suspicion of PIN transection at the level of the distal biceps anchor. Surgical exploration confirmed complete PIN laceration with the ...

conclusions in treatment of intra-articular distal radius fractures in middle-aged patients internal fixation with locking plates may be prefered to pin and plaster as the treatment of choice. results sf-36 test demonstrated a better general health (p < 0.001), mental health (p = 0.006), physical functioning (p < 0.001), social functioning (p < 0.001) and energy/fatigue (p < 0.001) in lcp group...

High grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN) is the most likely precursor of prostatic carcinoma. PIN has a high predictive value as a marker for carcinoma, and its identification in biopsy specimens warrants repeat biopsy for concurrent or subsequent carcinoma. The only methods of detection are biopsy and transurethral resection; PIN does not greatly raise the concentration of serum pr...
