Background Musculoskeletal problems are common in children. The majority are self-limiting and related to trauma; however the symptoms can be feature of serious medical conditions. It has been previously shown that musculoskeletal examination is poorly documented. Musculoskeletal examination is a station on the RCPCH clinical exam. Teaching resources on how to perform musculoskeletal examinatio...

Background:Chronic synovitis is one of the most important complications in haemophilic patients. Rifampin is anantibiotic which its intra-articular injecion leads to destruction of the synovial membrane of haemophilic patientsmedically.Materials and Methods: Between September 2003 and November 2005, we administered intra-articular rifampinin ١۶ haemophilic joints of ٨ haemophilic patients.Resul...

Arch dams are generally built in cantilvever monoliths. Vertical contraction joints between monoliths control the stresses due to concrete shrinkage and temperature variations. Past studies in earthquake safety evaluation of the system often show the tensile fracture and local nonlinear deformation of joints. In this paper, some nonlinear joint element constitutive models are presented to exami...

We show that if r s 2; n > r8; and G is a graph of order n containing as many r-cliques as the r-partite Turán graph of order n; then G has more than nr 1=r2r+12 cliques sharing a common edge unless G is isomorphic to the r-partite Turán graph of order n. This structural result generalizes a previous result that has been useful in extremal graph theory.

It is well recognised that neuropathy is common in diabetes mellitus, not only in the elderly, but also in younger patients with poorly controlled diabetes of long duration. It is not so clearly recognised that some patients with advanced lesions will develop neuropathic changes in the joints. Jordan (1936) seems to have been the first to have recognised this, and Bailey and Root (1947) found s...

In the multi-channel tape piece With Shifting Joints, I composed instrumental articulations and placed them around the listener. I applied virtual instruments, physical models comprised of cells and their connections. Such instruments allowed me to realise unconventional articulations with high precision and extreme parameter changes. For example, I bowed an instrument with such a sharp attack ...

Recurrent hemarthroses in childhhood before the initiation of primary prophylaxis will result in joint damage after a decade or later. The best way that we have today to protecting against hemophilic arthropathy is primary prophylaxis. The decision to institute early full prophylaxis by means of a port (central venous access device) has to be balanced against the child’s bleeding tendency, the ...

The subject is truly vast, far greater than will be encompassed in this paper which can be best deal with various examples. It should be realised that virtually any fairly solid substance may be called upon as a bearing material. It is easy to quote common examples which use rubies, wood, rubber, leather etc. as bearing materials and this diversity is only a microcosmic part of the range availa...

Tuberculosis appears to be increasing throughout the world after years of continuous decline, despite the introduction of effective chemotherapy. This resurgence is related to the increasing number of patients immunocompromised by chemotherapeutic agents used to treat other diseases or AIDS; the appearance of multiple drug-resistant strains of tuberculosis, and aging population. Several species...

Introduction Intermetallic compounds (IMCs) are generally considered a bad thing in solder joints, though this is not always the case. Excessive IMCs in solder joints are a bad thing since they significantly alter both the composition and the mechanical performance of the solder joint. Interfacial IMC layers can be an indication of the quality of the solder joint and the lack of them would indi...
