Abstract: Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of Patient Information Leaflet (PIL) based educational intervention to improve liquid medication measuring ability parents/ caregivers. Simultaneously, assess parents’ by dosing instrument type, and identify association various factors with errors. Materials Methods: A multi-centric, randomized controlled interventional study conducted at 2 pe...

Dear Sir, Carcinoma of unknown primary (CUP) represents a heterogeneous group of metastatic tumors where, even after a complete diagnostic workup the site of origin of the tumor is not detected. The diagnosis of CUP should be made after complete clinical history, physical examination, routine laboratory tests, imaging, and a careful review of the histology, and sometimes radio-metabolic techniq...

Do 18-month-olds understand that an agent's false belief can be corrected by an appropriate, though not an inappropriate, communication? In Experiment 1, infants watched a series of events involving two agents, a ball, and two containers: a box and a cup. To start, agent1 played with the ball and then hid it in the box, while agent2 looked on. Next, in agent1's absence, agent2 moved the ball fr...

The process of phagocytosis was investigated by observing the interactions between the ameba Chaos chaos and its prey (Paramecium aurelia), by studying food cup formation in the living cell, and by studying the fine structure of the newly formed cup using electron microscopy of serial sections. The cytoplasm surrounding the food cup was found to contain structures not seen elsewhere in the ameb...

During oogenesis and early embryonic development in Drosophila, translation of proteins from maternally deposited mRNAs is tightly controlled. We and others have previously shown that translational regulatory proteins that function during oogenesis also have essential roles in the nervous system. Here we examine the role of Cup in neuromuscular system development. Maternal Cup controls translat...

This work focused to investigate the use of a powered automatic technique to insert acetabular cup implants. The use of a percussion hammer tool as a surgical instrument to insert acetabular cup implants was investigated in current work. Pull-out, lever-out and torque tests were carried out on cup implants inserted into test block specimens of polyurethane (PU) using specifically designed exper...

Prospectively the outcome after total hip replacement with a new threaded acetabular cup design was compared to an established press-fit cup. After 1, 2 and 5 years, the 36-item Short Form Health Survey, Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index and Harris Hip Score revealed no significant differences between the two groups (each group : n = 42 patients), except for a higher ...

INTRODUCTION Basic daily activities, such as walking and climbing stairs produce forces on the acetabular cup that results in shear forces throughout the contacting surface producing acetabular cup micromotion. Minimizing micromotion of the acetabular component is critical to the long term survival of total hip arthroplasty. A typical cementless acetabular component is coated with a porous surf...

INTRODUCTION The total hip replacement is a common surgical procedure in orthopaedics. However, the acetabular cup loosening is one of the major failure modes of cementless acetabular cup. Many researches point out that an unstable cup would induce a large micromotion under dynamic loading. This large micromotion would reduce the bone ongrowth on the cementless cup surface and prohibit the osse...

BACKGROUND Trabecular metal has shown promising results in experimental studies of bone ingrowth. Several clinical studies support these results. However, until now, no randomized clinical radiostereometric analysis (RSA) studies have been published. In this randomized RSA trial, we compared a new acetabular cup with a surface made of tantalum trabecular metal and a cup with a titanium fiber-me...
