Hypothesis / aims of study Among dialysis patients urine production is kept, complaining of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are observed, some were reported underwent surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). However, there are many patients with complications having difficulty in surgery , it is often managed by a placement of catheter. Dutasteride (DUT) reduces prostate volume and i...

The synthesis and structure of a new flexible metal-organic framework Ni(2)(2,6-ndc)(2)(dabco) (DUT-8(Ni), DUT = Dresden University of Technology, 2,6-ndc = 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylate, dabco = 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane) as well as its characterization by gas adsorption and (129)Xe NMR spectroscopy is described. The compound shows reversible structural transformation without loss of crysta...

Muscle responses to tetanic electrical stimulation were detected by the non-invasive tensiomyographic (TMG) measuring method. The main objective of this study was to find out whether the TMG measuring method is suitable for monitoring the unfused tetanus (stimulation frequencies ranging from 1 Hz to the fusion frequency (ff)--the frequency at which tetanus occurs), and whether this monitoring p...

BACKGROUND The amount of medial compartment opening for medial knee injuries determined by valgus stress radiography has not been well documented. The purpose of this study was to develop clinical guidelines for diagnosing medial knee injuries using valgus stress radiography. HYPOTHESIS Measurements of medial compartment gapping can accurately differentiate between normal and injured medial s...

A total of 20 pairs of fresh-frozen cadaver femurs were assigned to four alignment groups consisting of relative varus (10 degrees and 20 degrees) and relative valgus (10 degrees and 20 degrees), 75 composite femurs of two neck geometries were also used. In both the cadaver and the composite femurs, placing the component in 20 degrees of valgus resulted in a significant increase in load to fail...

The aim of our study was to investigate whether placing of the femoral component of a hip resurfacing in valgus protected against spontaneous fracture of the femoral neck. We performed a hip resurfacing in 20 pairs of embalmed femora. The femoral component was implanted at the natural neck-shaft angle in the left femur and with a 10 degrees valgus angle on the right. The bone mineral density of...

Results: The overall injury distribution was valgus–external rotation (32.9%), phantom foot (22.5%), hyperextension (19.0%), boot induced (7.8%), collision (2.2%), and other (15.6%). The phantom foot mechanism was most common in ages 30 to 40 years (36.3% of all injuries within this mechanism; P < .01). Children and adults showed no significant difference in distribution of injury mechanism. Of...

Introduction: The most common cause of ankle osteoarthritis (OA) is posttraumatic, with around 80% of all cases, followed by primary and secondary ankle OA. Patients often present wit asymmetric involvement of the tibiotalar joint, resulting in valgus or varus deformity of the ankle and hindfoot. The etiology of asymmetric arthritic ankles can be divided into 2 main etiologic and morphologic gr...

For antenna measurements, the device under test (DUT) is usually transported to an anechoic chamber equipped with a scanner system. To measure on-site, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are flexible solution as they can precisely maneuver probe over surface in DUT&#x2019;s near-field region. In this work, designed multi-rotor UAV enables electromagnetically optimal placement of and effective grav...
