OBJECTIVES Locked plating constructs may be too stiff to reliably promote secondary bone healing. This study used a novel imaging technique to quantify periosteal callus formation of distal femur fractures stabilized with locking plates. It investigated the effects of cortex-to-plate distance, bridging span, and implant material on periosteal callus formation. DESIGN Retrospective cohort stud...

The fused bis-butterfly-shaped title compound, [Fe(4)(CS(4))(CO)(12)], possesses an orthothio-carbonate (CS(4) (4-)) ligand that acts as a bridge between two Fe(2)(CO)(6) units. A short intra-molecular S⋯S contact [2.6984 (8) and 2.6977 (8) Å] occurs in each S(2)Fe(2)(CO)(6) fragment.

Reaction between monolacunary {BW(11)} tungstoborate and oxothiocationic building block, {Mo(2)O(2)S(2)}, results in the formation of a new polyoxothiometalate with a unique architecture in which two [H(2)BW(12)O(43)](9-) tungstoborate subunits are linked together with a hexamolybdate [Mo(V)(6)O(6)S(6)(OH)(4)(H(2)O)(2)](2+) bridge.

abstract background: the loop colostomy is one of the most popular techniques used as a protective maneuver for a distal anastomosis and/or temporary fecal diversion. we are introducing the use of a full thickness skin bridge under the large bowel instead of a glass rod which alleviates problems such as protrusion of the large bowel, retraction of the bowel into the abdomen after removing the r...

Recent researches proved that the underbridge geometry can be reconstructed by 11 mounting a 3D laser scanner on a motorized cart travelling on a walkway located under the bridge. 12 The walkway is moved by a truck and the accuracy of the bridge model depends on the accuracy of 13 the trajectory of the scanning head with respect to a fixed reference system. In this paper, we 14 describe the met...

The purpose behind this research, which is done on the Abshooran river in Kermanshah and in the area between Delgosha bridge and wooden bridge is to develop lively and active urban centers and to elevate the quality functions of the region and the ecological conditions of the river’s border. To reach for this goal, ecological and aesthetic criteria were in use in a way that proposed alternative...
