The dependence of the lateral distribution of Cherenkov light in simulated extensive air showers to the energy and the mass of the primary cosmic rays has been studied. It has been shown that a previous claim about mass independent proportionality of shower energy to the total Cherenkov photon number is not valid in energies below EEAS ~ 1014 eV. We have found that the core distance of the so c...

Here presented is a case involving a 44-year-old man with a chief complaint of sharp lateral right-sided rib pain with notable radiation to the anterior portion of the thorax and minor radiation around the lateral back. The etiology of the pain and radiculopathy, which was initially attributed to a right-sided rib fracture, was later accurately credited to a paraspinal abscess discovered on a l...

Fractures of the lateral end of the clavicle are common in pediatric patients; most of these fractures occur at the physeal level representing Salter Harris injuries. The vast majority of fractures of the lateral end of the clavicle are managed nonoperatively. In this report, we describe a unique type of fracture of the distal end of the clavicle in the pediatric patients in which the fracture ...

Background: Concomitant Hangman’s fracture and atlantoaxial subluxation is a rare phenomenon. Herein, we reported a victim of motor vehicle crash with traumatic spondylolisthesis of the axis and atlantoaxial rotatory dislocation. Case presentation: the patient was a 32 years old female with a chief complaint of severe neck pain and normal neurologic examination except for mild torticollis. Ima...

INTRODUCTION The referral of a lateral malleolus fracture is one of the commonest orthopaedic trauma presentations. Failure to fully assess the patient and radiography can lead to missing associated injuries in the hindfoot. CASE REPORT We describe an unusual hindfoot injury with an atypical combination of lateral subtalar dislocation and calcaneal fracture with associated lateral malleolus f...

Introduction: This study aims to report a rare case of a respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartoma (REAH) of the lateral nasal wall that had initially presented as a fungating mass, similar to that of a sinonasal malignancy, and its complete removal from the lateral nasal wall.   Case Report: We report the case of a 58-year-old woman who presented to us with a chief complaint of recurrent ri...

OBJECTIVES Grip strength has been reported to be associated with bone mass locally at the forearm and also at distant skeletal sites, including the spine and hip. Less is known about the association between low grip strength and risk of vertebral fracture. The aim of this study was to examine the association between low grip strength, bone mineral density at the hip and spine, and vertebral fra...

background: nasal fracture is a common fracture due to trauma. gold standard method in diagnosis of nasal fracture is clinical examination and radiography is used in legal situation. recently, ultrasound is recommended as a noninvasive and simple method in diagnosis of nasal fracture. this study investigates the role of ultrasound in diagnosis of nasal fracture. methods: 126 cases with suspecte...

fracture. several chronic medical conditions, medications, and life style factors affect bone mineral accrual. this study aims to evaluate the bone mineral densities and hip axis lengths in the local population. materials and methods: 336 normal bangladeshi women age ranges 20 to 70 years had evaluation of their bone mineral densities (bmds) by means of dual x-ray absorptiometry (dxa). results:...

Distal humeral fractures are common fractures especially in immature small breed dogs. The pathogenesis is still unknown. For this study, a three- dimensional bone model of the canine elbow was created and finite element analysis performed in order to determine the relationship between fracture type and bone interactions. Fused and non-fused humeral condyles were considered. A failure criterion...
