OBJECTIVE Motor vehicle crashes are a leading cause of injury and mortality for children. Mitigation of these injuries requires biofidelic anthropomorphic test devices (ATDs) to design and evaluate automotive safety systems. Effective countermeasures exist for frontal and near-side impacts but are limited for far-side impacts. Consequently, far-side impacts represent increased injury and mortal...

and canyon sediments in several canyon reaches are contaminated with low-levels of radionuclides from hisFollowing the May 2000 Cerro Grande fire at Los Alamos, NM, toric LANL operations (Reneau et al., 1998). To mitisurface water control structures were constructed near Los Alamos to mitigate the transport of contaminant-bearing sediment toward the gate potential off-site migration of these se...

Spondylolysis is a common cause of backache and the detection of subtle cases is therefore important. Oblique views considerably increase the detection rate (Appleby and Stabler 1969), but a number of cases require additional views. The 30#{176} oblique cranial tilt view is more reliable than the standard oblique views in detecting spondylolysis as it visualises the pars interarticularis tangen...

UNLABELLED The limit of the Colletotrichum gloeosporioides species complex is defined genetically, based on a strongly supported clade within the Colletotrichum ITS gene tree. All taxa accepted within this clade are morphologically more or less typical of the broadly defined C. gloeosporioides, as it has been applied in the literature for the past 50 years. We accept 22 species plus one subspec...

DESIGN This is a cross-sectional study. SETTING University research laboratory. PARTICIPANTS Fifteen healthy adults (mean age: 27.47 years) volunteered for this study. INTERVENTION The individuals performed standard bridge exercise and modified bridge exercises with right leg-lift (single-leg-lift bridge exercise, single-leg-lift bridge exercise on an unstable surface, and single-leg-lift...

Different construction materials with different roughness used to make circular weirs highly affect surface roughness and, in turn, flow hydraulics passing over these structures.  In the present research, numerous experiments under different hydraulic conditions were performed on a physical model to study the effects of roughness on flow hydraulics over a circular weir. The flow hydraulics incl...

The clinical features of 10 cases of lateral trunk muscle injury in first class cricket pace bowlers are described. Typically the injury occurs during a single delivery, is associated with considerable pain, and prevents the bowler from continuing. The clinical picture is typical of a muscular or musculotendinous injury. The most consistent clinical tests were focal tenderness on palpation and ...

BACKGROUND Oblique injuries are known to be a common cause of time out of play for professional baseball players, and prior work has suggested that injury rates may be on the rise in Major League Baseball (MLB). PURPOSE To better understand the current incidence of oblique injuries, determine their impact based on time out of play, and to identify common injury patterns that may guide future ...

Following the clinical observation of a peculiar joint pattern in children with Lyme arthritis, we classified the pattern of joint involvement in children with oligoarticular arthritis (2-4 joints) of different causes, including Lyme arthritis, juvenile chronic arthritis and juvenile spondyloarthropathy, as: (1) symmetrical: arthritis of the same joints on both sides of the body; (2) unilateral...
