OBJECTIVE Mobilization techniques are frequently used by physiotherapists to reduce pain, improve joint movement and facilitate return to activities after injury. The objective of this study was to explore differences in the efficacy of Mobilization Techniques in Post-Traumatic stiff ankle with and without Paraffin Wax Bath. METHODS Thirty seven patients of Post Traumatic stiff ankle were rec...

Prenatal or antenatal development is a process during which the human embryo undergoes complex morphogenetic changes. To understand and characterize the dynamic events underlying human ontogenesis, it is useful to visualize embryonic structures in threedimensions (3D). Classically, solid reconstruction and fine drawing have been the primary approaches used to model the architecture of the embry...

Median sternotomy is a quickly and easily applied incision method that is commonly used during openheart surgery, which allows better operating field exposure and easy access into cardiac compartments facilitating cardiac cannulation. Sternal bleeding sometimes necessitates the use of large amounts of blood and blood products and rarely leads to re-exploration. Since the introduction of median ...

Microplates with integrated optical oxygen sensors are a new tool to study metabolic rates and enzyme activities. Precise measurements are possible only if oxygen exchange between the sample and the environment is known. In this study we quantify gas exchange in plastic microplates. Dissolved oxygen was detected using either an oxygen-sensitive film fixed at the bottom of each well or a needle-...

Raman spectroscopy is a non-destructive, non-invasive, rapid and economical technique which has the potential to be an excellent method for the diagnosis of cancer and understanding disease progression through retrospective studies of archived tissue samples. Historically, biobanks are generally comprised of formalin fixed paraffin preserved tissue and as a result these specimens are often used...

Wax deposition in oil wells seriously affects hydrocarbon production and causes inevitable economic losses. Especially rodless pumping wells, due to the lack of stirring effect sucker rod, waxing tubing is more serious. According correlation law between flow velocity wax deposition, a speed-increasing impeller prevention device was designed. Based on fluid dynamics, influence geometry equipment...

Phase change energy storage materials are widely used in the fields of battery thermal management and solar power generation due to their characteristics storing releasing periodically. However, further applications limited by low conductivity. The addition high conductivity foams provides an effective method address this shortcoming. A three-periodic minimal surface (TPMS) was generate aluminu...

Background: In general, radiotherapy treatment planning is performed using the virtual bolus. It is necessary to investigate physical bolus in comparison to virtual one. Objectives: In the present study, first, radiological properties of superflab Gel bolus and Paraffin wax bolus was investigated in terms of their relative electron density. Then, dosimetric performance of both the bolus (...
