Fossil chela of an erymid lobster from a single locality the upper Bajocian in Western Fore-Balkan Mts (NW Bulgaria) was studied. Two segments thoracic appendages, probably belonging to one individual, were described: 1) P1 propodus with partially preserved pollex and dactylus; 2) carpus merus attached. These elements first pair pereiopods identified as Eryma compressum (Eudes-Deslongchamps, 18...

This research explores the impact of Context Free Grammars (CFG) and Parse Trees for construction of a Telugu Language Sentences. Based on the CFG here we derived the derivations for the respective strings. Later we constructed the Parser Trees for the above said strings. Finally we analysed whether the string is ambiguous or unambiguous. Here for analysis we considered the Large Scale Open Sou...

The management of carpal dislocation after a late diagnosis is difficult. Open reduction is the usual treatment but collapse of the carpus may be hard to overcome without extensive dissection and consequent damage to the blood supply, ligaments and articular cartilage. A technique of distraction by an external fixator followed by semi-closed reduction is described and its successful use is repo...

ANATOMY The TFCC is a fibrocartilage-ligament complex which stabilizes the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ), transmits axial load between the carpus and the ulna, and stabilizes the ulnar aspect of the carpus. The TFCC is comprised of the disc proper (articular disc), meniscus homologue, ulnolunate ligament, ulnotriquetral ligament, proximal ligamentous component, volar and dorsal radioulnar liga...

OBJECTIVE To characterize biomechanical differences in gait between dogs with and without an amputated thoracic limb. ANIMALS Client-owned dogs (16 thoracic-limb amputee and 24 quadruped [control] dogs). PROCEDURES Dogs were trotted across 3 in-series force platforms. Spatial kinematic and kinetic data were recorded for each limb during the stance phase. RESULTS Amputees had significant i...

Calyptraeotheres camposi sp. nov. is described from the Gulf of California, Mexico. The new species is close to C. granti (Glassell, 1933) and C. pepeluisi Campos & Hernández-Ávila, 2010 from the Mexican Pacific and to C. hernandezi Hernández-Ávila & Campos 2006 from the Western Atlantic. These four species feature a third maxilliped with a 2-segmented endopod palp and the exopod with unsegment...

Primary bone healing fails to occur in 5-15 % of scaphoid bones that undergo fracture fixation. Untreated, occult fractures result in nonunion up to 12 % of the time. Conventional bone grafting is the accepted management in the treatment algorithm of scaphoid nonunion if the proximal pole is vascularized. Osteonecrosis of the proximal scaphoid pole intuitively suggests a need for transfer of th...
