Extension contracture of the knee is a well known complication of severe femoral fractures, especially in the supracondylar region. Traditional management by the Thompson quadricepsplasty may result in a variable return of knee flexion and the possibility of significant extension lag. The Judet technique of quadricepsplasty offers the advantages of a controlled, sequential release of the intrin...

Synthesis of novel aminoquinoline derivatives has been accomplished and their activity against malaria strains examined. The compounds showed moderate in vitro antimalarial two P. falciparum strains, 3D7 (CQ susceptible clone) Dd2 resistant clone). Three aminoquinolines were further examined for efficacy a mouse model using modified Thompson test. In this model, mice infected with berghei-infec...

The reliability of the stress-strength model attracted many statisticians for several years owing to its applicability in different and diverse parts such as engineering, quality control, economics. In this paper, system estimation containing Kth parallel components will be offered by four types shrinkage methods: constant Shrinkage Estimation Method, Function Estimator, Modified Thompson Type ...

Wilson and Blair (1927) (1931) described a nutrient glucose bismuth-sulphite and iron medium useful in detecting the presence of typhoid-paratyphoid organisms in water and sewage. The method was modified by Thompson (1939) for clinical use in the identification of clostridia. A positive test is evidenced by diffuse or localized blackening of the medium around sites of bacterial growth. Heavily ...
