Background: Tibial plateau fractures involve injuries affecting the major weight-bearing joint and result in functional impairment which can be prevented by implying competent treatment techniques including dual column plating, assisted reduction, internal fixation with plating Ilizarov circular fixator. The objective of this study was to evaluate outcome technique treating closed tibial fractu...

Cathodic activation examined with reference to the cold fuslon developments (controversy). Historically cathodic activation has been used for plating preparation of p a s s i v e (o x i d e) s u r f a c e s e.g. nickel/chromium alloys, niobium and powdered metals. More recent results of work employing cathodic activation for preparing aluminum for plating will be presented e.g. process paramete...

In the previous chapter, the components of electroless nickel plating baths were discussed from the viewpoint of the function each performs in the bath, with little attention paid to their effect on the plating process. The metal and the electron source (the reducing agent) are consumed in the electroless plating reaction and so their concentrations in the bath are continuously decreasing. Ther...

BACKGROUND The position of plate fixation for clavicle fracture remains controversial. Our objective was to perform a comprehensive review of the literature and quantify the surgical parameters and clinical indexes between the anterior inferior plating and superior plating for clavicle fracture. METHODS PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library were searched for randomized and non-randomized s...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Although plating is considered to be the treatment of choice in distal tibia fractures, controversies abound regarding the type of plating for optimal fixation. We conducted a systematic review to evaluate and compare the outcomes of locked plating and non-locked plating in treatment of distal tibia fractures. PATIENTS AND METHODS A systematic review was conducted using...

Many laboratories are experiencing growing shortages of trained microbiology technologists and technicians. Consequently, there is considerable interest in new automation that could potentially lessen labor demands for specimen processing. In this study, we present the first published evaluation of a new microbiology instrument, the Walk Away Specimen Processor (WASP), manufactured by Copan, In...
