Abstract. Both ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica are discharging into the ocean. In many regions along coast of sheets, icebergs calve a bay. If addition through calving is faster than their transport out embayment, will be frozen mélange with surrounding sea winter. this case, buttressing effect can considerably stronger any by mere would be. This turn stabilizes glacier terminus leads to...

  Background: Legg-Calve´-Perthes disease is a juvenile idiopathic osteonecrosis in which the blood supply of femoral head is not sufficient and the bone dies provisionally. The aim of this study is to evaluate outcome of Femoral osteotomy in children with LCPD in our University Hospital.   Methods: In a descriptive analytic study, between 2008 and 2013, patients with the diagnosis of Legg-Calv...

The purpose of the heifer herd is to provide replacements for cows leaving the herd and to improve genetic progress. First-lactation cows significantly contribute to herd production and profit. A recommended goal for dairy replacement heifers is to calve at 24 months of age with a targeted postcalving body weight of 1250 pounds. A common misconception is that this goal is either unattainable or...

It is now sixty years since Legg (1910), Calve (1910) and Perthes (1910) described the condition of coxa plana, or Perthes’ disease as it is more often called today, thus allowing its differentiation from the much more serious tuberculosis of the hip with which it had formerly been confused. It is ironical to find all these years later that a diagnosis of tuberculosis nowadays entails no more t...

Heifer development depends on nutritional management decisions throughout all growing phases. Optimizing costs to raise heifers improves profitability of dairy farms. Feed costs for heifers make up 50% of heifer costs. Required growth rates depend on the desired age at first calving and estimated mature body weight. Intensive milk feeding improves calf growth and subsequent milk production. Pre...

Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) is an idiopathic osteonecrosis of the femoral head with variable complications and resultant deformity of the femoral head and osteoarthritis. Suggested risk factors are acetabular retroversion, obesity, latitude, hyperactivity, and coagulopathy. The most commonly applied classification is based on radiolucency in the lateral pillar of the femoral head, which i...

BACKGROUND Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease (LCPD) is an idiopathic osteonecrosis of the developing femoral head complicated by pain and disability of the hip joint. To date, the pathological mechanisms of LCPD are not well-known. This study screened the changes in serum protein expression in patients with LCPD. METHODS Age- and sex-matched serum samples from 10 control subjects and 10 patients wit...
