pishgam was selected from the progeny of a cross between barakat iranian bread wheat cultivar and chinese 90-zhong 87 winter-habit ( bkt/90-zhong 87) in 1995. the f1 generation seeds were planted in karaj station in 1995-96 cropping season. selected-bulk method was applied to segregating generations from f2 to f5 generations for characters such as winter hardiness, plant height, straw strength,...

Introduction: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) after proximal femoral fixation is a challenging procedure due to possible hardware-related complications. Case presentation: A 78-year-old female with hip osteoarthritis had a proximal femoral osteotomy fixed using a blade plate in the same femur 41 years ago. A two-step approach was planned. After a challenging...

Background:  We aimed to report outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA) in very young patients under the year of 30.   Methods:  Thirty patients (45 hips) with various indications for THA were retrospectively reviewed radiologically and clinically and analyzed regarding survival, reasons of failure, factors associated with outcomes and postoperative complications.   Results:  Within a mean fol...

Intensive cultivation of vegetables and imbalanced fertilization depleted the soil nutrients caused low yield with poor quality crops. A novel microbial enriched biochar fertilizer combination could alleviate nutrient stress. Therefore, a field experiment was conducted 14 treatments [4 levels (5, 7.5,10, 15 t ha-1), 3 doses fertilizers (50, 75,100% recommended) along without absolute control] i...

UNLABELLED Hip osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease, and total hip arthroplasty (THA) is one of the surgical procedures of choice to improve the OA patient's quality of life. Without a rehabilitation program, THA patients will develop functional limitations. A randomized double-blind trial was performed between July 2009 and October 2011 to compare in a short follow-up time two groups ...

We focused on the role of plasma membrane glutamate uptake in modulating the intracellular glutaminase (GA) and glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) flux and in determining the fate of the intracellular glutamate in the proximal tubule-like LLC-PK(1)-F(+) cell line. We used high-affinity glutamate transport inhibitors D-aspartate (D-Asp) and DL-threo-beta-hydroxyaspartate (THA) to block extracellular ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The effect of postoperative intra-articular bolus injections after total hip arthroplasty (THA) remains unclear. We tested the hypothesis that intra-articular bolus injections administered every 6 hours after surgery during the first 24 hours would significantly improve analgesia after THA. PATIENTS AND METHODS 80 patients undergoing THA received high-volume local infil...

BACKGROUND Orthopedic implant-related sarcoma is an exceedingly rare, but a known complication of total hip arthroplasty (THA). CASE PRESENTATION The authors describe clinical and radiologic features, histologic appearance, and treatment of osteogenic osteosarcoma located in the proximal femoral diaphysis associated with an unstable femoral prosthesis following THA in a 65-year-old male patie...

Background and purpose - The number of patients who are suitable for outpatient total hip and knee arthroplasty (THA and TKA) in an unselected patient population remains unknown. The purpose of this prospective 2-center study was to identify the number of patients suitable for outpatient THA and TKA in an unselected patient population, to investigate the proportion of patients who were discharg...

Comprehensive gait analysis of patients with Crowe type II and III developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) after successful total hip arthroplasty (THA) is lacking in the literature. This study evaluated gait function in joint kinematics after unilateral and bilateral THA in patients with DDH. In addition, the effect of high cup position on gait function was investigated. A total of 16 unilate...
