A~traet--High-resolution X-ray texture goniometry (HRXTG) significantly improves peak/back~ound ratios and allows for the determination of crystallographic preferred fabrics of small regions (<1 mnt:) in heterogeneously deformed rocks. The basic instrument is a commercially available automated single-crystal X-ray diffractometer equipped with a Mo source. A stage for transmission mode was const...

In symptomatic subjects, the reliability of tests for shoulder joint range of motion has yet to be determined. For this reason, inter-rater and intra-rater agreement trials were undertaken to ascertain the reliability of visual estimation, goniometry, still photography, "stand and reach" and hand behind back reach for six different shoulder movements. Intra-class correlation coefficients (Rho) ...

OBJECTIVE Analize data on patients submitted to transfer of the pronator teres (PT) or the flexor carpi ulnaris (FCB) to the extensor carpi radialis longus/brevis (ECRL/B) in order to correct flexed wrist deformity in patients with cerebral palsy. METHOD Patients were divided into two groups: PT group and FCU group to ECRL/B. The results were evaluated by goniometry and by the functional hand...

Dear Colleagues and students As Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Medicine, I would like to dedicate my especial respect and appreciation for your kind regards and consideration to our journal. Fortunately, it is our pleasure to announce that Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Medicine is now indexed in DOAJ and Magiran. Additionally we are expecting to index Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Medi...

The technique of polarised light goniometry was used to quantify objectively parameters of the spastic gait during a double-blind cross-over trial comparing the spasmolytic effects of DS103-282, baclofen and placebo. Only minimal objective and subjective changes in gait were found when the results of treatment with DS103-282 or baclofen were compared with those of treatment with placebo.

This study demonstrates amethodwhere contact angle goniometry combinedwith surface tensionmeasurements is used to assess the interactions of drugswith the hydrophobic core of a biologicalmembrane. To this end, self-assembledmonolayers (SAMs) of two alkanethiol and one thiolipid on Au(111) surfaces are used asmodelmembranes and their interactionwith six -blockers is studied. TheGibbs equation an...
