Earlier studies have shown that psoriasis in Japan and Thailand is associated with two different major histocompatibility complex (MHC) haplotypes - those bearing HLA-Cw6 and those bearing HLA-Cw1 and HLA-B46. In an independent case-control sample from Thailand, we confirmed the association of psoriasis with both haplotypes. No association was seen in Thai HLA-Cw1 haplotypes lacking HLA-B46, no...

the current study which is an expacto one,has been carried out with the purpose of comparing the bone mineral density(bmd) of menopause women athletes who were professional at weight bearing sports and non-weight bearing sports.the participants were all menopause women athletes of tehran that 20 of them were aimfully put in two groups: the weight bearing sports group(handball and basketball; n=...

The fracture rate of third-generation ceramic liners is greatly reduced compared with first- and second-generation liners because of improvements in the design and manufacturing process. Fractures of the alumina-bearing couple are rare for the same reason.This article describes a case of a fracture of an alumina-bearing couple delta ceramic liner without trauma history that was treated with cer...

This paper studies distributed control of bearing-constrained multiagent formations using bearing-only measurements. In order to analyze bearing-constrained formations, we first present a bearing rigidity theory that is applicable to arbitrary dimensions. Based on the proposed bearing rigidity theory, we investigate distributed bearing-only formation control in arbitrary dimensions in the prese...

PURPOSE To determine the effectiveness and safety of interventions used for rehabilitation after open reduction and internal fixation of ankle fractures. METHODS A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed using both randomized trials and cohort studies. The effect of mobilization, weight-bearing, and unprotected weight-bearing as tolerated on postoperative recovery was compared using...

induction motor bearing is one of the key parts of the machine and its analysis and interpretation are important for fault detection. in the present work vibration signal has been taken for the classification i.e. bearing is healthy (h) or defective (d). for this purpose, clustering based classification of bearing vibration data has been carried out using principal component analysis (pca) and ...

Large old trees are critically important keystone structures in forest ecosystems globally. Populations of these trees are also in rapid decline in many forest ecosystems, making it important to quantify the factors that influence their dynamics at different spatial scales. Large old trees often occur in forest landscapes also subject to fire and logging. However, the effects on the risk of col...

BACKGROUND Early identification of hip fracture (HF) patients bearing an increased risk for a contralateral occurrence would allow providing preventive measures timely. OBJECTIVES To summarize the available evidence describing risk scores, prognostic instruments, or (groups of) parameters predicting contralateral HFs at the time point of the first fracture. Methods/Systematic Review: Articles...

Abstract How much deposits and equity a bank has influences how banks’ lending responds to monetary policy. While the responsiveness for channel been well established, this is not case risk-taking (RTC). We show in value-at-risk RTC model that banks with relatively more non-interest-bearing should respond less policy tightening. This suggests act as “pseudo capital.” In panel of US banks, we fi...
