purpose: to determine the prevalence of intraocular injuries in patients with blow-out fracture and also to evaluate the etiologic mechanism of orbital blow-out fractures methods: this study is a consecutive case series analysis of 116 patients with orbital blow-out fractures. the patients were visited by an ophthalmologist within 24 hours of trauma. results: ninety-one men and twenty-five wome...

The main purpose of this research is to extend some fixed point results in orthogonal metric spaces. For this purpose, first, we investigate new mappings in this spaces. We introduce the new notions of functions. Then by using it, we define contractive mappings and then we establish and prove some fixed point theorems for such mappings in orthogonal metric spaces. Then by utilizing examples of ...

methods retrospective cohort study of blunt trauma patients with rib fractures at a level i trauma center that had both a cxr and a ct chest. the ct finding of ≥ 3 additional fractures in patients with ≤ 3 rib fractures on cxr was considered clinically meaningful. student’s t-test and chi-square analysis were used for comparison. results we identified 499 patients with rib fractures: 93 (18.6%)...

Abstract Ultrasonic scanning of large spiral bevel gears and the subsequent fracture analyses early-stage tooth flank fractures imply a mode II crack initiation under surface-parallel, orthogonal shear stresses. An iteration Dang Van criterion is presented that focuses exclusively on surface-parallel material planes, yielding standardizable approach for study in gears. It shown Van’s stress amp...

conclusions although external fixation in open pediatric fractures and severe injuries is recommended, intramedullary nailing is also an effective method with low complications. combining pins and flexible intramedullary nails is effective in developing more stability and is not associated with more complications. background tibial fractures are the third most common pediatric long-bone fractur...

in this paper, a new method for determining position and orientation of a coordinate system using its image is presented. this coordinate system is a three dimensional non-orthogonal system in respect to the two dimensional and orthogonal camera coordinate system.  in real world, it’s exactly easy to select three directions on an object so that they don’t be orthogonal and on a plane. the image...

In this paper, the nonlinear lattice-Hammerstein filter and its properties are derived. It is shown that the error signals are orthogonal to the input signal and also backward errors of different stages are orthogonal to each other. Numerical results confirm all the theoretical properties of the lattice-Hammerstein structure.
