New skeletal elements are reported of the holotype specimen Australovenator wintonensis, from the type locality, near Winton, central western Queensland. New elements include left and right humeri, right radius, right radiale, right distal carpal 1, near complete right metacarpal I, left manual phalanx II-1, left manual phalanx II-2, near complete left manual phalanx II-3 and a left manual phal...

Phalanx is a software system for building a persistent, survivable data repository that supports shared data abstractions (e.g., variables, mutual exclusion) for clients. Phalanx implements data abstractions that ensure useful properties without trusting the servers supporting these abstractions or the clients accessing them, i.e., Phalanx can survive even the arbitrarily malicious corruption o...

Twenty-one limbs of bovine cadavers (42 digits) were exposed to interdigital cassetteless imaging plate using computed radiography. The radiographic findings included exostosis, a rough planta surface, osteolysis of the apex of the distal phalanx and widening of the laminar zone between the distal phalanx and the hoof wall. All these findings were confirmed by computed tomography. The hindlimbs...

Objective - The aim of this study was to measure the ratio of bone cortex (C) to bone diameter (D), (C/D) in radius/tibia, metacarpus /metatarsus and proximal phalanges in fore and hindlimbs to be used as a diagnostic guide in metabolic and nutritional diseases in Minature Donkey. Design- Experimental study Animals- Eight adult Minature donkeys. Procedures- Lateromedial, dorsopalmar and dors...

Treatment of fractures of the proximal phalanx and metacarpals is based on the presentation of the fracture, degree of displacement, and difficulty in maintaining fracture reduction. A wide array of treatment options exists for the variation in fracture patterns observed. Inherently stable fractures do not require surgical treatment; all other fractures should be considered for additional stabi...

Female, Hindoo, aged 40; not known to be hereditary; neither father nor mother, sisters, brothers, nor children, have the deformity. The thumb of the left hand was very broad, bulging out at the end of the first phalanx, and then narrowing to the root of the single normal nail. The metacarpal bone was single, but flattened at its distal extremity, and presented two articular surfaces, to which ...

Bone age assessment using a hand radiograph is an important clinical tool in the area of paediatrics, especially in relation to endocrinological problems and growth disorders. This paper proposes Standard Deviation based skeletal Bone Age Assessment based on features extracted from phalanx. The system works according to the renowned Tanner and Whitehouse method based on the Phalanx Region of In...
