Three principal ctanial dimensions and six angles on sagittal cranial profile related with facial prognathism, between artificially front-occipital deformed and undeformed Peruvian skulls were exarnined. The deformed skull group was characterized by a shorter and wider neurocranial vault. Angular analyses suggested that the skull deformation caused displacement of the basion-nasion line. Howeve...

Neck pain is defined as perceived pain, originating in an area bounded above by the nuchal line, below imaginary line passing through spinous process of T1 and laterally sagittal plane tangent to lateral edges neck. Our purpose investigate effectiveness transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) patients suffering from both acute chronic cervical syndromes. The literature research was c...

In a canine model of global cerebral ischemia, 6 dogs received a saline placebo prior to the event and 5 received 12.5 mg/kg ibuprofen. Cerebral venous outflow from the confluence of the sagittal and transverse sinuses, systolic and diastolic arterial pressure, cardiac output, pH, Paco2, Pao2, and arterial and sagittal sinus thromboxane B2 and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha were measured at intervals up to ...

The goal of any ambulatory patient is to maintain a horizontal gaze with the least amount of energy expenditure. With progressive deformity, and in particular sagittal malalignment, significant compensatory mechanisms must be used to achieve this goal. Each pelvis dictates the amount of lumbar lordosis required through its morphometric parameter pelvic incidence. The pelvis may compensate for d...

Method Twenty-six patients with DLKS underwent gait analysis using 3-dimentional motion analysis system (3D-MAS). Two reflection markers were attached to the skin surface on C7 and S1 spinous processes in all patients. Then they walked on treadmill at self-selected walking speed, and 3-dementional location of these surface makers (C7.S1) were recorded by synchronized 4 cameras that were placed ...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between prevalence of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) related thoracic injury and patients' volume dimensions. STUDY DESIGN Observational study. PLACE AND DURATION OF Kartal Dr. Lutfi Kirdar City Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey, from August 2015 to 2019. METHODOLOGY Patients, who were in hospital due a non-traumatic cause, had experienced cardiac arrest ...

restoration of the sagittal alignment is one of the fundamental goals in scoliosis correction surgery. having an increase in popularity of segmental spinal instrumentation, thoracic kyphosis (tk) is often sacrificed to achieve frontal and axial plane correction. patients with a lenke type 1 deformity underwent selective thoracic fusion (lowest instrumented vertebra of t12 or l1) using correctiv...

The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence and degree of sagittal plane deformity that occurs during limb lengthening of the femur. Twenty-one patients (25 limbs) were identified who underwent femoral lengthening. The limbs were lengthened a mean of 6.1 cm, and mean follow-up was 1.5 years. The immediate postoperative deformity in the sagittal plane was 8.3°; this deformity did no...

MATERIAL AND METHODS We prospectively investigated 41 consecutive patients (mean age, 64 years; range, 22-81 years) who underwent corrective surgery for ASD from March 2011 to September 2012. The mean postoperative follow-up period was 26 (range, 15 33) months. Gait was analyzed before and 1 year after surgery, and the 4m walking status was recorded with a video camera. We measured the angle be...

Echo-planar images acquired in nonaxial planes are often distorted. Such image distortion has limited the applications of the echo-planar imaging (EPI) technique. In this article, it is demonstrated that a considerable amount of the distortion is caused by the higher-order magnetic field concomitant with the linear magnetic field gradient, or the concomitant magnetic field. The image distortion...
