BACKGROUND A current topic in the field of geriatrics still needing a great deal of study is the changes in body posture occurring with age. Symptoms of these changes can be observed starting between the ages of 40-50 years with a slow progression that increases after 60 years of age. The aims of this study were to evaluate parameters characterizing the posture of women over the age of 60 years...

Infantile scoliosis has a potential for progression. This paper discusses the use of a soft material to correct scoliosis in a medically stable, at-risk infant. It illustrates that early intervention is desirable in preventing the progression of the lateral curve of the trunk. It also illustrates that the three-point positioning principle can be effective with soft materials with an infant. Foa...

Consider a set P of n points in the plane and n radars located at these points. The radars are rotating perpetually (around their centre) with identical constant speeds, continuously emitting pulses of radio waves (modelled as half-infinite rays). A radar can “locate” (or detect) any object in the plane (e.g., using radio echo-location when its ray is incident to the object). We propose a model...

abstract a 2.5 year old girl is presented with both hands constriction bands leading to distal amputations and the rare deformity of shoulder duplication in the right side accompanying constriction skin marking over the affected shoulder. the cephalomedial scapula articulated with the clavicle and the caudolateral scapula articulated with humeral head. the most important physical finding which ...

the problem of finding the minimum cost multi-commodity flow in an undirected and completenetwork is studied when the link costs are piecewise linear and convex. the arc-path model and overflowmodel are presented to formulate the problem. the results suggest that the new overflow model outperformsthe classical arc-path model for this problem. the classical revised simplex, frank and wolf and a ...

ABSTRACT The major-axis density profiles of bars are known to be either exponential or ‘flat’. We develop an automated non-parametric algorithm detect flat and apply it a suite simulations (with without gas). demonstrate that manifestation bar’s secular growth, producing ‘shoulder’ region (an overdensity above exponential) in its outskirts. Shoulders not present when form, but as the bar grows....

We consider the problem of estimating the first moment of a data stream defined as F1 = ∑ i∈{1,2,...,n}∣fi∣ to within 1± -relative error with high probability. Several algorithms are wellknown for this problem including the median estimator over p-stable sketches by Indyk [11], the geometric means estimator over p-stable sketches by Li [13] and the Hss sketch based algorithm in [8]. The current...

A study of the Phasmoconus species southern Mozambique and northern KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa revealed a new within an already complicated group species. total 83 adult specimens were studied, measured analyzed. The two main forms (Phasmoconus) chindeensis Monnier, Prugnaud & Limpalaër, 2021 species, described here as P. (P.) nemo n. sp. have too few different characteristics to separate ...

background: prevalence of recurrent shoulder dislocation in patients taking tramadol has not been studiedyet so, this study aims to study the recurrent shoulder dislocation following tramadol induced seizure. methods: in this cross-sectional study, 205 patients with recurrent shoulder dislocation complaints (2 or more) referred to shafa orthopedic and iranmehr hospitals tehran, iran, from octob...
