Humeral shaft fractures are common in the United States and may be associated with radial nerve injuries due to their close anatomic relationship in the spiral groove. Most radial nerve palsies are found at presentation due to the initial trauma; however, they can present secondary to orthopaedic intervention following reduction. In this case report, we present a case of delayed radial nerve pa...

For a hermetic reciprocating compressor of the household refrigerator, it is not economic to set a separate oil pump, because of cost and space demands. Its oil supply system is mainly promoted by a reed pump and the spiral groove on the shaft. When the compressor is operating, the oil climbs up the inner wall of the reed pump because of the centrifugal force. The height to which the oil could ...

Aim: Excessive material thinning has been observed in the production of custom-made mouthguards in a number of studies, due to production anomalies that may lead to such thinning. This study investigated the effect of thinning material patterns of custom made mouthguards when the anterior angulation of dental model was increased during the thermoforming process. Materials & Methods: A total of ...

The nasolabial cyst is an uncommon non-odontogenic cyst that develops in the lower region of the nasal ala; its pathogenesis is uncertain. This lesion grows slowly and measures between 1.5 and 3 cm; it is characterized clinically by a floating tumefaction in the nasolabial sulcus, which elevates the upper lip. The diagnosis is based on the clinical findings and, if necessary, image exams. This ...

conclusion spiral-ct scan is superior to conventional ct in the diagnosis of lesions in com before operation. it can be used for detailed evaluation of ossicular chain in such patients. objectives this study was performed to compare the findings of three-dimensional reconstructed spiral and conventional ct scan of ossicular chain study in patients with com. patients and methods fifty patients e...

This paper describes the results of a proof of concept effort for development of a Nautilus Centripetal Capillary Condenser (NCCC or NC) used for microgravity compatible water recovery from moist air with integral passive phase separation. Removal of liquid condensate from the air stream exiting a condenser is readily performed here on Earth. In order to perform this function in space however, ...

WOPR-domain proteins are found throughout the fungal kingdom where they function as master regulators of cell morphology and pathogenesis. Genetic and biochemical experiments previously demonstrated that these proteins bind to specific DNA sequences and thereby regulate transcription. However, their primary sequence showed no relationship to any known DNA-binding domain, and the basis for their...
