conclusions although external fixation in open pediatric fractures and severe injuries is recommended, intramedullary nailing is also an effective method with low complications. combining pins and flexible intramedullary nails is effective in developing more stability and is not associated with more complications. background tibial fractures are the third most common pediatric long-bone fractur...

purpose : to compare the serum homocysteine (hcy) level in healthy control individuals and in patient with primary open angle glaucoma (poag) and pseudoexfoliative glaucoma (pexg) methods : in this cross sectional study, 79 subjects including 36 patients with pexg, 23 patients with poag, and 20 matched healthy control individuals were recruited. those who used alcohol and mediations affecting h...

background: irritable bowel syndrome (ibs) is a chronic functional bowel disorder that up to 20% of the population is suffering from it. also benign prostatic hyperplasia (bph) is a common problem that approximately 90 percent of men may be affected by this condition until the eighth decade of their life. prostatectomy as a surgery and pelvic intervention can cause ibs. methods: it was a case-c...

Ambient particulate matter (PM) is known to induce inflammation in the respiratory tract of exposed subjects. The aim of the present study was to detect, in bronchial epithelial cells, candidate inflammatory genes exhibiting transcriptional modifications following urban PM2.5 exposure. Paris urban PM2.5 sampled either at a curbside or a background station in winter and in summer was tested in c...

Modern autonomous driving algorithms often rely on learning the mapping from visual inputs to steering actions from human driving data in a variety of scenarios and visual scenes. The required data collection is not only labor intensive, but such data are often noisy, inconsistent, and inflexible, as there is no differentiation between good and bad drivers, or between different driving intentio...

background: intervertebral disc herniation is a major cause of low back pain. several treatment methods are available for lumbar disc herniation including chemonucleolysis, open surgery, nucleoplasty, laser disc decompression, and intradiscal electrothermal therapy. the high prevalence of lumbar disc herniation necessitates a minimally invasive yet effective treatment method. in this study, we ...

Moving beyond a rhythmanalysis approach to banal mobilities and diurnal journey making – commuting, visiting, shopping, leisure this paper explores how place-dependent forms of transport shape the feel flow city. Theorizing city as polyrhythmic reveals multiple traces local/global past/present in socio-historically situatedness urban mobilities. Based on 20 months ethnographic fieldwork Ho Chi ...
