We report a radiological sign which predicts progression to hypertrophic non-union for fractures of the tibial diaphysis. Radiographs of 46 tibial fractures were reviewed independently by four orthopaedic trauma surgeons and two musculoskeletal radiologists. Patients were identified from a database of tibial fractures managed with Ilizarov frame fixation. There were 23 fractures that progressed...

Background: Genetic polymorphism of milk proteins has been associated with composition, manufacture, and traits of milk. Caseins are the most important milk proteins whose genes are strongly linked and inherited as a raceme. κ-casein which is a quantitatively minor constituent of bovine milk is thought to play a critical role in organization, fixation and aggregation of casein micelles and firm...

The aim of present study was to compare the diagnostic performance of the different Brucella abortus antigen based serological and molecular tests such as Rose Bengal Plate Test (RBPT), indirect enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (I-ELISA) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Out of 89 samples, 44 were positive by I-ELISA, 18 by RBPT and 21 by PCR. Substantial agreement was observed between PCR ...

BACKGROUND Although proximal right coronary artery (RCA) occlusion is the culprit commonly responsible for acute right ventricular (RV) infarction (RVI), the severity of RV dysfunction ranges broadly. This study was designed to delineate the patterns of coronary compromise that determine the magnitude of RV ischemic dysfunction. METHODS AND RESULTS In 125 patients with acute inferior myocardi...

In [14] Matsuda and Yorozu.explained that there is no special Bertrand curves in Eⁿ and they new kind of Bertrand curves called (1,3)-type Bertrand curves Euclidean space. In this paper , by using the similar methods given by Matsuda and Yorozu [14], we obtain that bitorsion of the quaternionic curve is not equal to zero in semi-Euclidean space E4^2. Obtain (N,B2) type quaternionic Bertrand cur...

Cisplatin (CDDP) is a potent antitumor compound widely used with a notably side effect of nephrotoxicity inducing oxidative stress and apoptosis in kidneys. Standardized extract from the leaves of the Ginkgo biloba trees, labeled EGb761 (EGb), has been available on the market for its beneficial effects. The purpose of this study was to investigate the ability of EGb to prevent the nephrotoxic e...

In healthy individuals, plasma cells originating from the bone marrow produce immunoglobulin molecules composed of two heavy chains and two light chains. There are two types of light chains in humans. The κ light chains are encoded by the immunoglobulin κ locus on chromosome 2 and λ light chains are encoded by the immunoglobulin λ locus on chromosome 22 [1]. During B lymphocyte development, the...

Frame-based image restoration by using balanced approach has been developed over the last decade. Many recently developed algorithms for image restoration can be viewed as an acceleration of the proximal forward-backward splitting algorithm. Accelerated proximal gradient algorithms studied by Nesterov, Nemirovski, and others have been demonstrated to be efficient in solving various regularized ...

External fixation can be an exceptional relief solution in the treatment of proximal femoral fractures. We would like to share our experience using external fixation techniques with either the Ilizarov frame or Hofmann system in 23 patients with complicated fractures.
