The transfer of load from one leg to another is an essential component in walking, but sense organs that signal this process have rarely been identified. We used high-speed digital imaging and neurophysiological recordings to characterize activities of tibial campaniform sensilla, receptors that detect forces via cuticular strains, in the middle legs of cockroaches during walking. Previous stud...

tension-leg platform (tlp) is a vertically moored floating structure. the platform is permanently mooredby tendons. surge equation of motion of tlp is highly nonlinear because of large displacement and it should be solved with perturbation parameter in time domain. this paper compare the dynamic motion responses of a tlp in regular sea waves obtained by applying three method in time domain usin...

conclusions we report of loss of achieved length after lengthening with a telescopic nail. weight bearing before complete consolidation of the regenerate might be a risk factor for that. thorough examination of the limb length and careful evaluation of the radiographs are required in the follow-up period. the precice nail system requires the same vigilance like the other intramedullary systems ...

In the spinal cord injury (SCI) population, a relationship between adiposity and leg bone has not been reported, nor one between serum estradiol and leg bone mass. A cross-sectional, comparative study of 10 male pairs of monozygotic twins discordant for SCI was performed. Relationships were determined among bone mineral density (BMD), bone mineral content (BMC), lean mass, fat mass, and serum s...

The present study was conducted with a view to know the productive and reproductive performance of Jamunapari, Black Bengal and crossbred goats in Chittagong district during the period of May to December 2012. The data on productive and reproductive traits were collected from 324 goats as a whole. In the present study, the birth weight of Jamunapari goats was higher than other crosses. The adul...

On the evening of the 13th July, Ashraf Beg, Musalman, aged 30 years, was admitted into hospital: twelve days before he fell from a mango tree and sustained Pott's fracture of the right ankle, was taken into the Mohuindi Branch Dispensary, but mortification setting in was sent into the Sadr; on arrival lie was in very low condition through fatigue and want of food; the right leg from the toes t...

Case Presentation: A 42-year-old black woman is diagnosed with idiopathic (unprovoked) lowerextremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) after presenting with leg swelling. She is treated with anticoagulation for 6 months without major complications and with stable international normalized ratios, and her lower-extremity symptoms completely resolve. She has sickle cell trait but no other chronic condit...
