introduction: high prevalence of rhinoplasty in the community and lack of structured studies about its minor skin and soft tissue complications, point out the necessity of performing precise and comprehensive studies. the aim of this study was to determine the frequency of minor cutaneous and soft tissue complications of rhinoplasty.  materials and methods: 110 patients (30 male and 80 female, ...

Decreasing proprioception of the knee is multifactorial and is a function of age and degenerative joint disease. Soft-tissue release during total knee replacement may have an influence. We have quantified soft-tissue imbalance at the time of knee replacement and attempted to eliminate it at full extension, using established methods. We studied the influence of residual soft-tissue imbalance on ...

objective: the aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of tissue composition on dose distribution in electron beam radiotherapy. methods : a siemens primus linear accelerator and a phantom were simulated using mcnpx monte carlo code. in a homogeneous cylindrical phantom, six types of soft tissue and three types of tissue-equivalent materials were investigated. the tissues included muscle (s...

A good outcome in total knee arthroplasty depends on many factors: joint alignment, range of motion, patellar tracking and ligament stability. A correct soft tissue balance keeps the joint aligned in flexion and extension, and therefore constitutes the most important factor for durability of the implant. Indeed, incorrect soft tissue balancing is the primary cause of early implant failure neces...

in this paper an automatic examination robot was developed to improve the process of cancer detection, tumor localization and geometrical shape diagnosis. a uniformly distributed compressive load was applied to the top tissue surface and the resultant mechanical stress was measured that was employed for the tumor diagnosis task. the experimental examinations were performed on the soft tissue of...

needle insertion is a minimally invasive technique in diagnosing and treating tumors. however, to perform a surgery accurately, the tissue should have minimum amount of displacement during needle insertion so that it reaches the target tissue. therefore, the tissue membrane has to move less to decrease rupturing under the membrane. in this study, the effect of different design parameters on dis...

background: persian gulf is a semi-closed environment which is affected by pollution ‎from heavy metals. entrance of heavy metals to the water column and binding to ‎sediment particles can affect the benthic organisms that can accumulate these ‎materials in their body. noticing this ability, mussels are considered as bio-monitoring ‎agents.‎ methods: the pearl oyster, pinctada radiate, and sedi...

recurrent dislocation is not common in small joints. this report presents a new case of chronic recurrent dislocation of proximal interphalangeal joint of the finger in which soft tissue injuries have a role in the dislocation. the patient was a 23 years old man who had referred to our center because of recurrent dislocation of proximal interphalangeal joint of his right ring finger during spor...

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is one of the most successful procedures in modern orthopedic surgery, providing high patient satisfaction rate. As a result, the number of patients undergoing TKA is increasing in number every year and more patients would be inclined to have the operation in near future . The demand for TKA is expected to grow 673% between 2005 and 2030. Knee surgeons are using mo...
