BACKGROUND Spiral fractures of the tibia are virtually homogeneous with regard to their pathomorphism. The differences that are seen concern the level of fracture of the fibula, and, to a lesser extent, the level of fracture of the tibia, the length of fracture cleft, and limb shortening following the trauma. While conventional radiographs provide sufficient information about the pathomorphism ...

The Large Eddy Simulation (LES) technique with the Smagorinsky-Lilly dynamic subgrid model and two-equation Standard k-ω Transitional turbulence model are applied to investigate non-spiral and spiral blood flow through three dimensional models of arterial stenosis and aneurysm. A spiral pattern of blood flow is thought to have many beneficial effects on hemodynamics. Previous computational stud...

abstract   background: while the benefits of computed tomography (ct) are well known in accurate diagnosis, those benefits are not risk free. ct is a device with higher patient dose in comparison with other conventional radiological procedures. is the reduction of exposures by requiring optimization of ct procedures [a principle concern in radiological protection]? in this study, the radiation ...

conclusion spiral-ct scan is superior to conventional ct in the diagnosis of lesions in com before operation. it can be used for detailed evaluation of ossicular chain in such patients. objectives this study was performed to compare the findings of three-dimensional reconstructed spiral and conventional ct scan of ossicular chain study in patients with com. patients and methods fifty patients e...

We investigate the formation of substructure in spiral galaxies using global MHD simulations, including gas self-gravity. Local modeling by Kim and Ostriker (2002) previously showed that self-gravity and magnetic fields cause rapid growth of overdensities in spiral arms; differential compression of gas flowing through the arms then results in formation of sheared structures in the interarms. Th...

background: conventional tomography used for evaluation of the small areas of the jaws provides acceptable information. it has some advantages of availability, less radiation dose and costin comparison to computed tomography (ct) and cone beam ct. double emulsion film usuallyused for taking tomograms requires less exposure than single emulsion film; on the other hand,the latter provides more sh...

A large diameter (up to 73.8 cm), high-density helicon plasma with short axial length (≤ 81 cm) has been successfully produced using a flat spiral antenna. The electron plasma density can reach up to ∼ 10 cm−3 with the input radio frequency (rf) power of < 4 kW for various axial lengths, and the density scaling as a function of the axial length is in good agreement with expectations. The strong...

Esophageal Development. 1. The region of most active mitosis per mm. of cross-section in the esophagus is the entodermal epithelial tube. The mitotic figures follow a spiral path in the manner of a left-handed helix from the cephalic to the caudal direction. 2. The region of least active growth per mm. of cross-section in the esophagus is the mesenchyme surrounding the epithelial tube. 3. The h...
