Between March 1987 and March 1997, we performed a modified Thompson quadricepsplasty on 20 stiff knees and followed the patients for a mean of 35 months (24 to 52). After the operation, the knee was immobilised in flexion and periodically extended. At the final follow-up, the mean active flexion was 113.5 degrees (75 to 150). The final mean gain in movement was 67.6 degrees (5 to 105). One pati...

BACKGROUND The lack of knee flexion is an increasingly recognized complication of femoral and periarticular knee fractures. This is a significant challenge for both surgeon and patients. METHODS This article reports the clinical outcomes of 40 knees in 40 patients who underwent a modified Thompson quadricepsplasty. They were 36 men and 4 women. We performed a modified Thompson quadricepsplast...

This paper explores further the computation of quaternionic numerical range a complex matrix. We prove modified version conjecture by So and Thompson. Specifically, we show that shape for matrix depends on two real values. establish under which conditions bild coincides with its when is convex.

This editorial is the product of a recent communication with Journal Editor Stammers. Moss and Thompson, Editors of the journal Quality in Health Care adopted a new outline for quality improvement reports (1). They made the point that clinical quality reports (like case reports) do not fit the traditional scientific publication outline of introduction, method, results, and discussion. Just as M...

An adaptive procedure is described for the line intercept sampling. Modified Hansen-Hurwitz and Horvitz-Thompson estimators are used to find estiamtors for the population mean, population density and coverage. An example is given to justify the method and to compare it with ordinary line intercept sampling.

Abstract The main contribution of this study is to present a unique new mathematical model photo-thermoelastic interactions with Hall current effect in an infinite semiconducting solid sphere due high magnetic field acting along its axis. A variable heat flux applied the boundary surface semiconductor sphere. generalized modified Moore-Gibson-Thompson-Photo-Thermal (MGTPT) theory used express g...
