OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between objective and subjective torsion in patients with cyclovertical strabismus and determine whether objective torsion differs according to which eye is fixing. DESIGN A prospective evaluation of tests of objective and subjective torsion. PARTICIPANTS Thirty-six patients with various types of cyclovertical strabismus. METHODS Subjective torsio...

It is well-entrenched folklore that torsion gravity theories predict observationally negligible torsion in the solar system, since torsion (if it exists) couples only to the intrinsic spin of elementary particles, not to rotational angular momentum. We argue that this assumption has a logical loophole which can and should be tested experimentally. We give an explicit counterexample where a rota...

Dong, Sheng-Jing, Paul S. Hees, Wen-Mei Huang, Sam A. Buffer, Jr., James L. Weiss, and Edward P. Shapiro. Independent effects of preload, afterload, and contractility on left ventricular torsion. Am. J. Physiol. 277 (Heart Circ. Physiol. 46): H1053–H1060, 1999.—Shortening of oblique left ventricular (LV) fibers results in torsion. A unique relationship between volume and torsion is therefore ex...

background & aim: ovarian torsion is one of the most common causes of emergency surgery in gynecology, with a tendency to occur in postmenopausal women. the aim of this study was to provide information concerning the clinical presentations, surgical management, pathological findings and risk of malignancy in postmenopausal women with ovarian torsion. methods:in this cross-sectional study, the r...

Near-fault ground motions have caused very much damage in the vicinity of seismic sources during recent earthquakes. It is well known that under specific circumstances, intensive ground shakings near fault ruptures may be characterized by short-duration impulsive motions. This pulse-type motion is generally particular to the forward direction, where the fault rupture propagates towards the site...

‎‎in the category of mordell curves (e_d:y^2=x^3+d) with nontrivial torsion groups we find curves of the generic rank two as quadratic twists of (e_1), ‎and of the generic rank at least two and at least three as cubic twists of (e_1). ‎previous work‎, ‎in the category of mordell curves with trivial torsion groups‎, ‎has found infinitely many elliptic curves with rank at least seven as sextic tw...

gallbladder torsion is a rare surgical emergency that can not be differentiated from acute cholecystitis.this condition occurs primarily in elderly women,although it may be encountered in early adulthood of both sexes.the anatomic background is based on variation in the attachment of the gallbladder to the inferior surface of the liver,if a patient with the diagnosis of acute cholecystitis dose...

PURPOSE We assessed reproductive and testicular function in adult rats after testicular torsion created before, during and after puberty, and with vs without resveratrol or arginine treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS Age matched rats were divided into groups, including simulated surgery without testicular torsion, 720-degree testicular torsion for 4 hours, testicular torsion with resveratrol tr...
