Elbow arthroscopy, though described first in 1930s, gained popularity only in the last 3 decades. There has been a steady expansion in the clinical applications of elbow arthroscopy owing to the significant improvements in instrumentation and arthroscopic skills. The procedure which was mainly used for diagnostic purpose, loose body removals, and synovial biopsy has now become an important tool...

In the present study, silica aerogel- egg shell was synthesized for dye removal of colored wastewater. The nano composite structure was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectra FTIR and scanning electron microscope SEM.The ability of nano composite absorption was assessed for removal basic violet 16BV16 dye from aqueous solutions and was compared with two other adsorbents such as egg...

in this research, an experimental study to evaluate nutrient removal from synthetic wastewater by a lab-scale moving bed biofilm process was investigated. also, kinetic analysis of the process with regard to phosphorus and nitrogen removal was studied with different mathematical models. for nutrient removal, the moving bed biofilm process was applied in series with anaerobic, anoxic and aerobic...

M any studies have investigated hair removal or growth prevention treatments, but they often measure hair density using noninvasive methods that are subjective and qualitative. Although photographic and digital hair-counting methods have been used, their reliability and validity remain unknown. We describe a simple, noninvasive method of hair counting used in a hair growth prevention treatment ...

BACKGROUND The uniform delivery of laser energy is particularly important for safe and effective laser hair removal (LHR) treatment. Although it is necessary to quantitatively assess the spatial distribution of the delivered laser, laser spots are difficult to trace owing to a lack of visual cues. This study proposes a novel preclinic tool to evaluate operator proficiency in LHR treatment and a...

Use of contraceptive implants has surged in recent years, yet emerging data show a deficit of service delivery capacity and coverage for implant removals. The number of projected removals needed in the 69 FP2020 focus countries in 2018 (4.9–5.8 million) is more than twice that estimated for 2015 (2.2 million). We must proactively plan and execute high-quality implant removal services in order t...

conclusions similar to previous studies, this study could not show the superiority of electric toothbrush over manual in plaque removal. after 72 hours, the mean of plaque index was greater in buccal than in lingual surface, which may be attributed to the natural cleansing action of the tongue. results the mean of plaque index was 2.13 ± 0.83 and 2.11 ± 1.01 in the manual and electric toothbrus...

denitrification is a reduction of nitrate by heterotrophic and autotrophic bacteria that may ultimately produce molecular nitrogen (n2) through a series of intermediate nitrogen compounds.vermiculite is a hydrous phyllosilicate mineral (mg, fe+2,fe+3)3[(al,si)4o10](oh)2·4h2o with several layers for bacterial immobilization. the goal of this study was removal of nitrate from water with vermiculi...
