Avulsion injury of the flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) with concomitant fracture of the distal phalanx dorsal base is uncommon. Simultaneous avulsion fractures of the insertion of this tendon associated with rupture of the tendon from the bony fragment and combination with dorsal base fracture is very rare and also complicated. A 36- year- old man fell and injured his right little finger. FDP ...

The seventeen human pedal remains from Cro-Magnon (2 tali, 7 subtalar tarsals, metatarsals, and a proximal phalanx) can be grouped into three individual sets of bones, based on articular congruence, symmetry, size, pathology. They correspond to the previously identified (Thibeault Villotte, J. Arch. Sci. Rep. 21, 76–86, 2018) Alpha (Cro-Magnon 1), Beta Gamma postcranial individuals. are average...

let $mathfrak{a}$ be an algebra. a linear mapping $delta:mathfrak{a}tomathfrak{a}$ is called a textit{derivation} if $delta(ab)=delta(a)b+adelta(b)$ for each $a,binmathfrak{a}$. given two derivations $delta$ and $delta'$ on a $c^*$-algebra $mathfrak a$, we prove that there exists a derivation $delta$ on $mathfrak a$ such that $deltadelta'=delta^2$ if and only if either $delta'=0$...

poverty is the most serious threat to natural resources and the environment and most of the poor are rural-based who engage in various agricultural activities. land is a critical asset for the rural poor and lacking means to appropriately intensify agriculture which compels the poor to either overuse or misuse this natural resource base to meet basic needs. this study presents empirical relatio...

as special depositional environments which are adjacent to the seas, deltas have provided a field for human habitat establishment. geomorphic features of deltas are in constant transformation due to their dynamic features. constructing dams on rivers can intensify these changes and cause either negative or positive consequences. minab delta in hormozgan province of iran is a round or crescent-s...

Tuberculous dactylitis is an uncommon condition which is particularly difficult to differentiate from other lesions, particularly tumors. We report the case of a 56-year-old, healthy, left-handed person who consulted for progressive painful swelling of 8-month duration in the right thumb, which had developed after direct trauma. The plain radiograph of the thumb revealed extensive destruction o...

Osteomyelitis caused by Candida glabrata is rare and its optimal treatment is unknown. Here we report a case of osteomyelitis caused by C. glabrata in the distal phalanx in a 54-year-old woman. Despite partial resection of the nail and administering a 1-month course of antibiotics for paronychia, the local swelling remained and an osteolytic lesion was found. C. glabrata osteomyelitis of the di...

We describe a new species of Anolis from the southeastern slopes of the Andes of Ecuador, province of Zamora-Chinchipe, Parque Nacional Podocarpus. It belongs to (1) the aequatorialis species-group by being of moderate to large size with narrow toe lamellae, and (2) the eulaemus sub-group by having a typical Anolis digit, in which the distal lamellae of phalanx II distinctly overlap the proxima...

Osteoid osteoma is a benign bone forming tumor of the growing skeleton that is most often seen in young men. It represents by pain and radiologic appearance of anidus surrounded by osteosclerosisthat occurs mostly in long bones of the lower extremity. Occurrence of this tumor in the hand is an uncommon condition. We present a 23-year-old man with an osteoid osteoma in the proximal phalanx of th...

A five-month-old, female Basset Hound was presented for lameness associated with a fused 3rd and 4th digital pad on the left hind limb (simple incomplete syndactyly), and secondary contracture of the deep digital flexure tendon of the 3rd and 4th digit. An onychectomy of the third phalanx of the third and fourth digits was performed. Following the operation, the dog gained good use of the affec...
