A common mode of limb suspension for transtibial amputees is the pin liner/shuttle lock system. Despite its popularity, some clinicians question its use because of observed daily and chronic changes to the residual limb. For this study, we measured limb interface pressures during ambulation with pin and suction suspension systems. No pressure differences were seen between the modes of suspensio...

OBJECTIVE To develop a distance measure based methodology to support the morphological evaluation of high grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN), a direct precursor of prostate cancer. METHODS Eight morphological and cellular features were analysed in 20 cases of high grade PIN found in radical prostatectomy specimens from patients with adenocarcinoma. The diagnostic distance was eva...

Dear Editor These ultrasound images (Fig. 1. Images A–D) convey an enlarged posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) with interruption of the PIN course by dislodgement of the distal of two Mitek anchors inserted 5 years previously for a biceps tendon rupture raising suspicion of PIN transection at the level of the distal biceps anchor. Surgical exploration confirmed complete PIN laceration with the ...

conclusions in treatment of intra-articular distal radius fractures in middle-aged patients internal fixation with locking plates may be prefered to pin and plaster as the treatment of choice. results sf-36 test demonstrated a better general health (p < 0.001), mental health (p = 0.006), physical functioning (p < 0.001), social functioning (p < 0.001) and energy/fatigue (p < 0.001) in lcp group...

High grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN) is the most likely precursor of prostatic carcinoma. PIN has a high predictive value as a marker for carcinoma, and its identification in biopsy specimens warrants repeat biopsy for concurrent or subsequent carcinoma. The only methods of detection are biopsy and transurethral resection; PIN does not greatly raise the concentration of serum pr...

In this issue of the AJNR American Journal of Neuroradiology, Steinman et al, in their article, “ImageBased Computational Simulation of Flow Dynamics in a Giant Intracranial Aneurysm,” show the potential usefulness of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) as a practical tool that can be used in the diagnosis, therapeutic planning, and postoperative monitoring of patients with intracranial aneurysm...

PINs are one of the most popular methods to perform simple and fast user authentication. PIN stands for Personal Identi cation Number, which may have any number of digits or even letters. Nevertheless, 4-digit PIN is the most common and is used for instance in ATMs or cellular phones. The main advantage of the PIN is that it is easy to remember and fast to enter. There are, however, some drawba...

Dendritic cell have been recognized as most potent antigen presenting cells that capable of activating T cells against tumor antigen. Dendritic cells were first discovered by Steinman RM & Cohn ZA et al. [1]. He was awarded Nobel Prize in medicine in 2011 for discover of these novel cells. Expression of costimulatory molecule and ability to generate strong immune response differentiate it from ...
