Femoral loosening is one of the most prevalent causes of revision orthopedic surgeries. Cement mantle thickness has been directly correlated with femoral loosening. If the mantle is too thick, there is an increased risk of radiolucent lines and inconsistent densities. Also, the more bone that is reamed out during the procedure can lead to instability, especially if the quality of the bone is co...

OBJECTIVE To prospectively evaluate the association between antibiotics used to treat acne and pharyngitis. DESIGN Cross-sectional and 9-month prospective cohort. SETTING Urban university setting. PARTICIPANTS University students. INTERVENTION Participants were asked to fill out a survey form, were swabbed for culture, and had a visual examination for acne. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Report...

Against the background of a variety polarized optical applications, great number polarization-sensitive photodetectors based on anisotropic two-dimensional (2D) materials and their heterojunctions have been proposed. However, low polarization ratio (PR), describing response sensitivity angle incident light, is still demanding to be solved. In this work, we demonstrate van der Waals (vdW) Schott...

according to the former researcher’s presented relations for flow through rock-fill porous media, the effects of physical characteristics was not studied separately. hence, due to the application of these relations, physical characteristics of porous materials effect must be investigated separately. in various constructed physical models of porous media, the effect of several variables such as ...
