متن کاملUTILIZING CONCEPTUAL MODELING IN THE STUDY OF ONE OF THE IRANIAN FRACTURED CARBONATE RESERVOIRS
A typical Iranian carbonate matrix block surrounded by an open fracture was modeled in order to understand the fracture-matrix interaction and realize how to model the interaction best. The modeling was carried out by using a fine-scaled Eclipse model in the single porosity mode (the fractures were explicitly modeled). The model was extended to a stack of 6 matrix blocks to understand block-to-...
متن کاملThe administration of intermittent parathyroid hormone affects functional recovery from pertrochanteric fractured neck of femur: a protocol for a prospective mixed method pilot study with randomisation of treatment allocation and blinded assessment (FRACTT)
INTRODUCTION Pertrochanteric hip fractures occur in an elderly population and cause considerable morbidity and loss of functional ability as the fracture heals. Recently, parathyroid hormone (PTH), which is licensed for the treatment of osteoporosis, has been shown to potentially accelerate bone healing in animal and human studies. If its administration could allow a faster functional recovery ...
متن کاملRelationship between 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol levels and functional outcome after hip fracture in elderly patients.
A prospective study was performed in 109 patients with osteoporotic hip fracture to verify the relationship between 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol levels at admission and functional recovery in elderly patients with hip fracture. 47.7% of all the patients had 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol levels below the reference values of our laboratory. At 1 year of the fracture only 33 patients (30.3%) had ...
متن کاملThe study of the compensation for bone fracture
The law of fracture diya is accepted by majority of Faqihs.

The book of Zarif, as the main document of this law, is reflected in Fagihs books. A comparative study of fiqh statements with those in the book of...
