Grade 1 open spiral fracture of left tibia in a 1.5 year-old horse was treated using a combination of 4.5 mm locking compression plate (LCP) and a dynamic compression plate applied in a neutralization manner. The open wound was managed postoperatively by regular dressing and lavage. Radiograph at 24 days post-treatment revealed callus formation and at two months complete bridging callus was obs...

We use the grid of hydrodynamic accretion disc calculations of Stehle (1999) to construct orbital phase dependent emission line profiles of thin discs carrying spiral density waves. The observational signatures of spiral waves are explored to establish the feasibility of detecting spiral waves in cataclysmic variable discs using prominent emission lines in the visible range of the spectrum. For...

Orange press liquor is a by-product generated by the citrus processing industry containing huge amounts of natural phenolic compounds with recognized antioxidant activity. In this work, an integrated membrane process for the recovery of flavonoids from orange press liquors was investigated on a laboratory scale. The liquor was previously clarified by ultrafiltration (UF) in selected operating c...

A major effort has been invested in making bioreactors more efficient. The goal has been achieved in several steps. Firstly, a replacement of the traditional rotation movement by an oscillating up and down movement of stirring discs driven by an electromagnet yields several important advantages. A soft, whole volume movement of the medium results in optimal gas distribution throughout the mediu...

background: burns are among the most common traumas in developing countries, which consume large amounts of medical resources. it is important to find an appropriate material for dressing of burn wounds that improves healing and is readily available, easily applicable, and economical.   methods: in a single-blind randomized controlled clinical trial from march to october 2006, 211 patients with...

This is the first scanning electron microscopic demonstration of the three-dimensional architecture and detailed surface structures of the entire osseous labyrinth of the cochlea. Mouse cochleae were observed after dissolving the soft tissues with KOH and NaOCl solutions. The precise shapes, surface structures, and orientations of the primary osseous spiral lamina and secondary osseous spiral l...
