Using the extant phylogenetic bracket of dinosaurs (crocodylians and birds), recent work has reported that elbow joint range of motion (ROM) studies of fossil dinosaur forearms may be providing conservative underestimates of fully fleshed in vivo ROM. As humeral ROM occupies a more central role in forelimb movements, the placement of quantitative constraints on shoulder joint ROM could improve ...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Based on preliminary in vitro data from a previous study, we proposed that 50 mg/kg glutathione (GSH) would be adequate for suppressing reactive oxygen species in patients with acute paraquat (PQ) intoxication. METHODS Serum levels of reactive oxygen metabolites (ROM) were measured before and after the administration of 50 mg/kg GSH to each of five patients with acute PQ intox...

In this article, I will use underlined keywords to refer to particular pages from the CD-ROM. If you visit the CD-ROM index (by clicking on the ? box) and type the underlined keywords into the search box, then it will take you directly to the relevant page. I hope that this article will give you some ideas about how to use the CD-ROM in the classroom, but specific suggestions and worksheets are...

We investigate both theoretically and numerically the consistency between nonlinear discretization in full order models (FOMs) reduced (ROMs) for incompressible flows. To this end, we consider two cases: (i) FOM-ROM consistency, i.e., when use same nonlinearity FOM ROM; (ii) inconsistency, different discretizations ROM. Analytically, prove that while yields optimal error bounds, inconsistency a...

INTRODUCTION: The etiology of adjacent segment pathology following anterior cervical arthrodesis remains controversial. In vitro studies consistently report that adjacent segment maximal range of motion (ROM) increases superior and inferior to cervical arthrodesis. Previous in vivo results have been conflicting, indicating that maximal ROM may or may not increase superior and/or inferior to the...

This report focuses on improving the stability as well as the approximation properties of Reduced Order Models (ROM) based on Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD). The ROM is obtained by seeking a solution belonging to the POD subspace and that at the same time minimizes the Navier-Stokes residuals. We propose a modified ROM that directly incorporates the pressure term in the model. The ROM is...

Although manipulation under anesthesia (MUA) has been considered effective first-line treatment for stiff total knee arthroplasty (TKA), there is no consensus regarding the usefulness of repeated MUA. The purpose of this study was to investigate the usefulness of repeated MUA performed for patients in whom satisfactory range of motion (ROM) was not achieved by MUA. The authors retrospectively r...

CONTEXT A smaller amount of ankle-dorsiflexion displacement during landing is associated with less knee-flexion displacement and greater ground reaction forces, and greater ground reaction forces are associated with greater knee-valgus displacement. Additionally, restricted dorsiflexion range of motion (ROM) is associated with greater knee-valgus displacement during landing and squatting tasks....
