BACKGROUND Lipoma in nasal region in a case of Pai syndrome is very rare. Very few cases of Pai syndrome with columellar lipoma with extension to septum and tip have been reported till date. CASE PRESENTATION We report a very rare form of nasal lipoma in a case of Pai syndrome with extension to septum and tip in a 4 year old female child. CONCLUSIONS Pai syndrome with columellar lipoma with...

Abstract Sustainability in construction of tunnel is very important to reduce environmental impact and also minimal use earth resources. Therefore, numerical modelling proposing at design stage achieved this objective. To evaluate the changes soil settlements during excavation, empirical, analytical, methods have been frequently applied movement research method effective anticipating possible u...

Introduction Foot movement in heel-toe running is influenced by various shoe lacing patterns [1]. Different shoe lacing systems and techniques also offer the possibility to improve shoe fit and shoe comfort. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of different lacing patterns on dorsal foot pressures during running. Furthermore, perceived comfort and shoe stability ratings were...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine whether running in a minimalist shoe results in a reduction in ground reaction forces and alters kinematics over standard shoe running. The secondary purpose of this study was to determine whether within-session accommodation to a novel minimalist shoe occurs. METHODS Subjects were 14 male, rearfoot striking runners who had never run in a min...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of constrained weight shift induced by shoe lift beneath the unaffected lower extremity, on balance functions and electromyography of the affected lower extremity of stroke patients. [Subjects and Methods] Twelve patients with unilateral stroke were recruited as volunteers for this study. The subjects were repeatedly measured in a ...

UNLABELLED Pleomorphic lipoma is a relatively uncommon entity, and is considered as a variant of spindle cell lipoma. Histologically, spindle cell lipoma/pleomorphic lipoma consists of varying quantity of mature fat, bland spindle cells and ropey collagen. In addition, pleomorphic lipoma is characterized by multinucleate giant cells, which possess the "floret-like" nuclei and marked pleomorphis...

BACKGROUND Shoe-surface interactions have been implicated in the high number of noncontact knee injuries suffered by athletes at all levels. PURPOSE To examine shoe-surface interactions on newer field designs and compare these with more traditional shoe-surface combinations. The peak torque and rotational stiffness (the rate at which torque is developed under rotation) were determined. STUD...

One can almost feel the strain as a newt lung epithelial cell (top left) undergoes mitosis. The white spindle fibers anchor the chromosomes (visible in outline) between the spindle poles, while kinetochore microtubule fibers connect each chromatid at its centromere to one of the mitotic poles. Elongated mitochondria, long stress fibers and small, spherical organelles can also be seen surroundin...

Introduction: The thyroid gland regulates the basal metabolic rate, somatic growth, and psychic growth. Hence, the thyroid gland plays a major role for the normal growth of a fetus during the prenatal period. It is the first endocrine gland which starts to develop by 24 days after fertilization. The aim of our study is to study the morphological and histological features of the thyroid gland in...
