OBJECTIVE To evaluate the outcomes of medial branch block in facet joint pain for osteoporotic compression fracture and utilize multiple regression, the relationship between their impact on treatment outcome and other factor, such as the radiologic finding, clinical parameters was analyze. METHODS Fifty-three patients with axial back pain from osteoporotic compression fracture were enrolled. ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The vertical sleeve gastrectomy is a common bariatric procedure. The operation is relatively standard, but there are still variations among surgeons. The two main variations are bougie size and extent of distal resection. Some surgeons will start the gastric resection at 2 cm proximal to the pylorus, whereas others start at 6 cm. Our hypothesis is that there are anatom...

Crown structure is a key variable influencing stand productivity, but its reported response to various stand factors has varied. This can be partially attributed to lack of a unified study on crown response to intensive management or stand health. In this analysis of several coastal Douglasfir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii [Mirb.] Franco) branch datasets, a significant treatment effect ...

Urban forests are part of the global forest network, providing important benefits to human societies. Advances in remote-sensing technology can create detailed 3D images trees, giving novel insights into tree structure and function. We used terrestrial laser scanning quantitative structural models provide comprehensive characterizations woody surface area allometry urban trees relate them anato...

the effects of inoculation of thiobacillus and the type of nitrogen fertilization (urea and ammonium sulphate fertilizers) on yield and yield components of rapeseed cultivars (okapi, slm 046 and reagent * cobra) were studied. the experiment was carried out as spilit plot factorial in randomized complete block design with 4 replications in shahrood university of technology. reagent * cobra culti...

to evaluate the effect of zn sulfate foliar application on morphologic and quantitative characteristics of safflower (carthamus tinctorius l.) cultivars, a field experiment carried out in ramin agriculture and natural resources university of khouzestan, iran, in a factorial arrangement in a randomized complete block design with four replications, during 2012-2013. treatments consisted of two sp...

the conservation system is one of the proper methods avoiding the loss of nutrients, soil erosion, and reduce production costs. this research was examined for studying the influences of tillage systems on the three cotton cultivars at karkandeh and hashm-abad stations in gorgan. the experiments were conducted in a randomized completely block design as split plot with three replications with fiv...

Genotypic variation is useful to breeders when selecting genotypes to improve particular traits. Inorder to study of genetic diversity 20 genotypes of Hordeum murynum studied in the form of randomized complete block design the experimental field of islamic azad university shahre rey branch with 3 replication in the year 2012. Notes traits was conducted including days to heading, days t...
