Although the lateral nucleus of the amygdala (LA) is essential for conditioned auditory fear memory, an emerging theme is that plasticity in multiple brain regions contributes to fear memory formation. The LA receives direct projections from the auditory thalamus, specifically the medial division of the medial geniculate nucleus (MGm) and adjacent posterior intralaminar nucleus (PIN). While tra...

INTRODUCTION Kapandji described intra-focal pin fixation of distal radial fracture in which the pins pass through the fracture line and anchor to the far cortex. These pins aid reduction of the fracture and maintain reduction by buttressing the distal fragments. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between January 1996 to December 1997, 186 distal radial fractures were treated with intra-focal pin fixation....

In general, all the keypad based authentication system having several possibilities of password guessing by means of shoulder movements. Shoulder-surfing is an attack on password authentication that has traditionally been hard to defeat. This problem has come up with a new solution. Devising a user authentication scheme based on personal identification numbers (PINs) that is both secure and pra...

Prostatic intra-epithelial neoplasia (PIN) is considered a precursor of invasive carcinoma, characterized by proliferation and anaplasia of cells lining prostatic ducts and acini. In this study, we applied the PIN grading system on one-hundred cases of prostatic carcinoma and one-hundred cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia, then compared the results. 74% of prostatic carcinoma and 51 % of...

OBJECTIVES This study explores the analytic implications of using questions about difficulty with daily activities that do not specify whether to consider assistance. METHODS For 1,054 Asset and Health Dynamics of the Oldest Old Study Wave 2 respondents, we compared responses to questions about difficulty without reference to assistance (ambiguous difficulty) to those about difficulty without...

Supracondylar humerus fractures are common in children. Displaced fractures are usually treated with closed reduction and cross pin fixation. But, medial pinning may cause the ulnar nerve injury. The aim of this study was to compare the parents-based cosmetic satisfaction of the incision scars in children with displaced supracondylar humerus fractures treated by closed reduction and cross pin f...

PURPOSE To determine the safety, utility, and efficacy of pin removal prior to radiographs during the postoperative care of surgically treated displaced pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures. METHODS Retrospective review of 532 children with supracondylar humerus fractures treated with closed reduction and pinning from 2007 to 2012. Group 1: children who had their splint/cast removed and ...

A lthough the key principles of external fixation have changed little over the years, there remains a significant amount of variation in fixation methods and postoperative care. In particular, use and management of halfpins intended for prolonged reconstruction are the subject of strong opinions and intense debate. Half-pins are commonly available in stainless steel and titanium. They are also ...

It is a requirement of modern age industries, especially the aerospace, automobile, and shipbuilding sectors, to manufacture high strength low weight dissimilar aluminium alloy welded joints. Therefore, aim this project investigate effect tool rotation speed, feed rate, pin type on ultimate tensile (UTS) alloys (2024 Al 5754 Al) in friction stir Nine experiments have been performed using an ort...
