Methods: Three-dimensional computed tomography scans of 30 normal cadaveric specimens were obtained. A virtual model of a generic labral anchor was inserted into the rim of the glenoid at the clockface positions represented by 12:00, 1:30, 3:00, 4:30, 6:00, 7:30, 9:00, and 10:30. At each position, the safe insertion range was the maximal range measured, and the optimal insertion angle was ident...

INTRODUCTION This article reviews the various computed tomography (CT) appearances of hepatic metastases from colorectal primaries and assesses the frequency of occurrence of the various patterns. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a retrospective study of the CT appearances of histologically proven colorectal hepatic metastases in a group of 52 patients who had undergone surgical hepatic resectio...

This study aims to investigate the influence of the acetabular rim fractures on outcomes of hip arthroscopy at minimum 2-year follow-up. Between January 2009 and August 2012, data were prospectively collected on all patients undergoing hip arthroscopy. Anatomic findings, including presence of rim fractures, were recorded intraoperatively. Patients were assessed preoperatively and at 3 months, 1...

[1] The 750 m diameter and 75 m deep Victoria crater in Meridiani Planum, Mars, is a degraded primary impact structure retaining a 5 m raised rim consisting of 1–2 m of uplifted rocks overlain by 3 m of ejecta at the rim crest. The rim is 120–220 m wide and is surrounded by a dark annulus reaching an average of 590 m beyond the raised rim. Comparison between observed morphology and that expecte...

This paper discusses the aerodynamic analysis and design of a novel, hubless, contra-rotating, rim-driven fan (RDF) device. Rim-driven thruster technology has been used for marine propulsion de...

Radiation-induced morphea (RIM) is a rare and underrecognized complication of radiation therapy that most commonly occurs in women after treatment for breast cancer. Although not fully understood, RIM is hypothesized to arise from an increase in cytokines that stimulate collagen production and extracellular matrix formation. Most documented cases of RIM occur 1 year after radiation therapy and ...

T. J. Eggebraaten J. W. Tenner J. C. Dubbels The integration of medical information from various sources is gaining in importance as hospitals and medical research centers attempt to gain new insights into existing data. The Health Level Sevent (HL7t) organization has developed an abstract information model for health-care data, the HL7 Reference Information Model (RIM). We describe in this pap...

On-site sanitation is the main form of excreta disposal in most sub-Saharan African cities and will remain the most appropriate level of service for the urban poor in the medium term. Despite heavy public investment in sewerage systems in most primary and some secondary cities, typically only 10-15% of the urban population benefit from access to the sewer network. About 80% of the urban populat...
