tomato is the most important agricultural crops in bushehr province. this experiment was conducted on a randomized complete block design (r.c.b.d.) with 15 treatments cultivars and 4 replications in the borazjan research station during two consecutive cropping seasons (1995-97) to find tomato cultivars with high yield and quality and suitable for the region. cultivars had been selected among 60...

BACKGROUND The short stem prosthesis showed good results in patients with primary osteoarthritis. However there were afew studies about the short stem total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients with osteonecrosis of thefemoral head (ONFH). OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical and radiographic results of the short stem THA in patients with ONFH. The authors hypothesized that the short stem THA wou...

Limb-length discrepancy following total hip arthroplasty (THA) is often cited as a reason for patient dissatisfaction and for hip instability. Various intraoperative techniques have been described to help restore normal limb length after THA. The purpose of this study was to assess whether a computer-navigated surgical technique would help restore limb-length equality following THA.A retrospect...

In experimental studies, statin use has been associated with reduction of osteoclastic activity and promotion of bone formation around implants. Moreover, a large clinical study recently reported a substantially reduced risk of revision for aseptic loosening among statin users with THA. Our objective was to evaluate the influence of statin use on the development of femoral osteolysis within 5 y...

Abstract Operative time is a potential modifiable target for reducing cost and optimizing efficiency in total hip arthroplasty (THA). Shorter operative times are associated with decreased costs complications. One proposed solution operating room (OR) to preferentially perform THAs at higher volume center. The purpose of this study investigate the impact different hospital settings on mean THA. ...

Abstract Background Of late, periarticular analgesic injection (PAI) has become a common alternative treatment for pain following total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, the systemic effects of PAI containing corticosteroids in patients subjected to THA have not been investigated. This study evaluated efficacy and corticosteroid THA. Methods single-center, retrospective cohort enrolled undergoin...

BACKGROUND Patient-reported scoring systems have recently been used after surgical procedures. The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the patient-reported outcomes of femoral osteotomy and total hip arthroplasty (THA) for osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). METHODS Forty-two symptomatic ONFH patients with asymptomatic contralateral hip underwent either transtrochanteric a...
