objective(s):glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness and it is related to oxidative stress based on numerous studies. glutathione s-transferases (gsts) are members of multigenic family, which have important role in cells as an antioxidant. in the present study, we examined the polymorphism of gstt1 and gstm1 deletion genotypes (t0m1, t1m0, and t0m0) in 100 glaucoma patients (41with pr...

Objective To report on technical aspects and outcomes after scapulohumeral arthrodesis (SHA) with a locking compression plate (LCP) in small equids. Study Design Retrospective multicenter case series. Animals Client-owned Shetland Ponies, Miniature Shetlands, American Horses (n = 15). Methods Inclusion criteria were completed SHA an LCP to treat osteoarthritis/subluxation availability of postop...

Background: The serratus anterior (SA) muscle is an important scapular stabilizer and has a profound role in retaining the scapulohumeral rhythm. Therefore, modified push-up plus (MPUP) been advised to strengthen this as closed chain workout. However, few previous studies have reported possibility of reparative motion from pectoralis major (PM) that could replace amend SA's function during plus...

This paper proposes a computational approach for generation of reference path for upper-limb exoskeletons considering the scapulohumeral rhythms of the shoulder. The proposed method can be used in upper-limb exoskeletons with 3 Degrees of Freedom (DoF) in shoulder and 1 DoF in elbow, which are capable of supporting shoulder girdle. The developed computational method is based on Central Nervous ...

All the 64 cases in this series were outpatients with their diagnosis made according to the Criteria of Diagnosis and Therapeutic Effects for TCM Syndromes (1999 Edition) stipulated by the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Of them, 5 cases were at the age of 40-48 years, 52 cases 49-55 years, 7 cases 56-65 years. 38 cases were female and 26 male, ranging in course of disease...
