background: fibroblasts are one of the important cells in wound healing. these cells create a proper bed for keratinocytes migration and wound contraction.wound healing in distal limb of horses has complications, such as formation of exuberant granulation tissue (egt). the main factor in this problem is overgrowing of fibroblasts. objectives: the purpose of the present study was to compare fibr...

A late phase of HoxD activation is crucial for the patterning and growth of distal structures across the anterior-posterior (A-P) limb axis of mammals. Polycomb complexes and chromatin compaction have been shown to regulate Hox loci along the main body axis in embryonic development, but the extent to which they have a role in limb-specific HoxD expression, an evolutionary adaptation defined by ...

Retrograde neuronal tracing with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was used to determine the position in the spinal cord of motor neurone pools innervating muscles in the regenerated axolotl hindlimb. This method allows a detailed analysis of the accuracy of reformation of neuromuscular connections. The results show that regenerated distal limb muscles are reinnervated by motor neurones in the same ...

In a chart review 31 traumatic knee dislocations were identified in 30 patients during an eight year period (1992-2000).Fifteen dislocations (48.4%) were posterior,seven anterior,eight occult and one medial.out of the five cases of vascular injuries three happened with posterior dislocations and in four patients associated ipsilateral limb injuries were present .the general incidence of simulta...

Myasthenia gravis (MG) characteristically involves ocular; bulbar, and proximal limb muscles. MG with predominant distal limb involvement is uncommon. We present a case of MG with distal, asymmetrical, upper limb involvement, seven years after disease onset.

Purpose: Increased patellofemoral joint reaction force (PFJRF) is the main cause of patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFP). Foot pronation causes faulty joint coupling of the lower limb and increases the PFJRF. Therefore, the aim of systematic review is effect of the distal interventions on the clinical symptoms and kinematic of PFP patients.   Methods: The search strategy was carried out from Goo...

BACKGROUND The most frequent limb complications from peripheral veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) are limb ischemia and localized bleeding. To minimize these risks, perfusion of the distal limb with peripheral percutaneous cannulation was done. TECHNIQUE Percutaneous cannulation with a distal perfusion port was performed in all patients. During the VA-ECMO, distal li...

Case Description- A 3-month-old, female mixed breed dog was presented to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital of Ferdowsi University with an obvious deformity in its right forelimb. Clinical Findings- - In clinical examination, there was a separation from elbow joint to the end of digits and a long skin cleft between these separated regions was seen. Radiographic examination revealed a wide space b...
