This study was conducted to investigate direct short-term impact of vermicompost on some soil biological properties by monitoring changes after addition of vermicompost as compared to farmyard manure in an alkaline soil with high lime content from semiarid Mediterranean region of Turkey. For this purpose, mixtures of soil and organic fertilizers in different doses were incubated under greenhous...

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) in the adolescent patient has historically shown relatively poor survivorship. This study reports the results of THA in young patients using contemporary ceramic bearings. Twenty-four THAs were performed using ceramic bearing surfaces in patients 20 years old or younger (mean, 16.4; range, 12-20). Average follow-up was 52 months (range, 25-123 months). The survival ...

Abstract This report aims to describe implant characteristics and procedure for implantation, comment on the clinical outcomes in small dogs cats using new Zurich mini cementless total hip system. study involved 8 42 dogs, with 3 6 having bilateral arthroplasties (THA). The mean body weight was 6.5 kg, 9.2 kg. In group of THAs cats, capital physeal fracture reason performing a THA six cases (60...

An experiment was carried out on loamy sand soil to evaluate the effect of organic manures (farmyard manure, vermicompost, poultry manure, neem cake and castor cake) on soil and quality parameters of cowpea during summer season of 2014. Nine treatments were tried out in randomized block design with four replications. Recommended Dose Fertilizer (RDF) i.e. 2040-0 NPK kg ha-1 recorded significant...

Objectives: The purpose is to report minimum 10-year follow-up survivorship, defined as non- conversion total hip arthroplasty (THA), and patient-reported outcome scores (PROS) following primary arthroscopy with acetabular microfracture in the setting of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) chondral lesions, respectively. Methods: Data was prospectively collected retrospectively analyze...

We prospectively measured functional performances (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, Short Form-36, 2-minute walk test, and timed get-up-and-go test) of patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA) and had serum vitamin D levels tested during the preoperative evaluation. Of 219 patients, 102 (46.6%) had low vitamin D levels (25-hydroxyvitamin D<30 ng/mL). Lo...

Abstract Background Stress shielding after total hip arthroplasty (THA) leads to loss of bone mineral density (BMD) around the femoral implants, particularly in proximal area. Loss BMD implant is likely occur within 1 year THA; however, its severity depends on patient characteristics. This study evaluated preoperative factors correlated with zone 7 THA. Methods retrospective cohort included 48 ...

Tacrine (THA) and physostigmine (PHS) have been used in Alzheimer's disease therapy for their anticholinesterasic activity. Here we show that THA is taken up in rat lysosomes in an energy-dependent manner, and that it is also accumulated in acidic compartments of rat thymocytes and neuroblastoma cells. A concentration of THA less than 1 mM dissipated the pH gradient (delta pH) in all the above ...

BACKGROUND This meta-analysis compared clinical outcomes of arthroplasty vs. osteosynthesis for displaced femoral neck fractures. METHODS Meta-analysis was performed on the difference in revision rate and overall mortality between participants undergoing osteosynthesis vs. total hip arthroplasty (THA), osteosynthesis vs. hemiarthroplasty (HA), or THA vs. HA. RESULTS Pooled direct and indire...

BACKGROUND The value of the Internet to deliver preoperative education would increase if there was variability in questions patients want answered. This study's goal was to have patients consulting an orthopedic surgeon about undergoing either a total hip arthroplasty (THA) or a total knee arthroplasty (TKA) rate the importance of different questions concerning their care. METHODS We assemble...
