Two new species of the aorid Amphipoda are described from Chichijima Island, Ogasawara Islands in Japan. Aoroides macrops sp. nov. shallow water is characterized by heavily setose male gnathopod 1, coxa which bears several plumose setae anteriorly, and uropod 2 with a short inter-ramal process. This very similar to A. longimerus Ren Zheng, 1996; however, this can be distinguished larger eyes, s...

in this experiment six healthy adult dairy jersey cattles and eight calves (aged 4-6 months) were selected to measure temperature of different body skin sites, rectal temperature, respiration and heart rates during summer and winter. body sites maximum and minimum temperature in calves during summer belonged to the ear, forehead, right flank, abdomen (38.4-38.9 ˚c) and carpus (32 ˚c). this was ...

Macrobrachium prabhakarani new species is described from the Vamanapuram River, Kerala, S. India. The species shares certain characters with M. scabriculum and M. madhusoodani, while it differs remarkably from these two species in distinctive diagnostic characters: rostral formula 12–14/1–2 with 5–7 postorbital teeth; carapace smooth with distal end of rostrum directed forwards; chelae with nin...

PURPOSE To identify factors that affect functional outcome one year after distal radial fracture treatment. METHODS 521 women and 121 men aged 16 to 92 (mean, 59) years with distal radial fractures underwent external fixation (n=123), open reduction and internal fixation (n=63), a combination of both (n=10), distal radial osteotomy for symptomatic malunion (n=90), or casting with (n=194) or w...

Thirty-five of 44 nonunited scaphoid fractures that were at least 6 months old healed in a mean time of 4.3 months during pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) treatment using external coils and a thumb spica cast. The mean time from the onset of the fracture to treatment was 40 months. No concurrent operation was performed. Follow-up time averaged 8.4 months. Eight of nine fractures with avascul...

A consecutive series of 100 cases of wrist injury, other than those referred with a radial fracture, have been reviewed to determine the incidence of acute scapholunate instability; a "clenched fist" radiograph was used in addition to the routine scaphoid views. Of 19 patients with an increase in the scapholunate gap, five were eventually considered to have significant scapholunate instability,...
