This study was performed to evaluate the results of 14 years of application of Ilizarov method in treatment of infected non-unions of tibia and femur in patients with severe trauma and battlefield wounds. Seventeen patients with long bone nonunion (14 were with infected nonunion of tibia out of whom two were associated with tibial bone defects and 3 with infected non-union of femur) were admitt...

Avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head is an emerging complication in HIV infected patients. It has been suggested that the increased incidence of AVN in this population may be caused by an increased prevalence of predisposing factors for osteonecrosis, including protease inhibitors, hyperlipidemia, corticosteroid use, alcohol and intravenous drug abuse. The aim of this study was to asses...

OBJECTIVE To examine the role of acellular dermal matrix grafts for prevention of microarterial anastomotic thrombophlebitis. DESIGN Bilateral femoral artery microvascular anastomoses were created in the field of established wounds infected with Staphylococcus aureus in 12 rats. In each animal, 1 femoral microarterial anastomosis was wrapped with an acellular dermal matrix graft, and the cont...

In this paper, we introduce the concept of fuzzy star-operations on an integral domain and show that the set of all fuzzy star-operations on the integral domain forms a complete lattice. We also characterize Pr3 ufer domains, psuedo-Dedekind domains, (generalized-) greatest common divisor domains, and other integral domains in terms of the invertibility of certain fractionary fuzzy ideals. c © ...

the case was an 18-year-old female with progressive crampy abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, initiated from 4 months ago, who had 4-5 kg weight loss in this period. in physical examination, an ill-defined mass with mild tenderness in periumblical region palpation was detected. in upper gi endoscopy, bulging folds with a necrotic mass in d2- d3 were detected. in small bowel series study, cut ...

The following surgical technique describes a case of a 51-year-old man with severe juvenile rheumatoid arthritis that required a 2-stage revision of an infected revision total knee implant. The patient had previously been implanted with a revision rotating platform, constrained condylar device which gained excellent fixation through the use of diaphyseal-engaging stems, and a well-ingrown, full...

Abstract A deterministic model for the factor of safety an idealized rock mass planar mode failure is developed adopting Limit Equilibrium Method (LEM) using Patton’s shear strength criterion and considering practically occurring conditions such as effect tension crack, water filled up in horizontal vertical seismic acceleration, bolt stabilizing force surcharge. In Pseudo-static analysis accel...
