A Tropospheric Tomography Method with a Novel Height Factor Model Including Two Parts: Isotropic and Anisotropic Height Factors

A Survey on Current Methods of Carpal Height Ratio Measurement and Suggestion of a New Method

Background & Aims: Two famous methods are commonly used for the measurement of carpal height ratio. Both methods are performed on anteroposterior radiogram and have some shortcomings. We are going to introduce a new method for measuring this index in lateral view of the wrist radiogram' Methods: This cross-sectional and case-control study was conducted on 100 anteroposterior and lateral radiogr...

A diallel analysis of height in wheat

A new method of measuring patellar height.

To measure the patellar height the ratio of the articular length of the patella to the height of the lower pole of the articular cartilage above the tibial plateau is measured on a lateral radiography of the knee, flexed beyond 30 degrees. Normal values lie between 0-54 and 1-06. The subluxing patella is at the upper end of the normal range, but, in chondromalacia, the male patellae were lower ...

MATERNAL HEIGHT AS A CONTRIBUTORY FACTOR TOWARDS BIRTH OF SMALL FOR DATE IN FANTS

A case control study of "small for date" and premature infants was conducted at 17 hospitals in Tehran between December 1989 and June 1990. The study population consisted of mothers of 347 small for date, 261 premature and 1164 normal infants. Mothers who were less than 18 years old and their height less than 155 cm had a statistically significant RRF. (2.18) for the birth of small for dat...
