We report a case of a 29-year-old man who presented with a distal humeral shaft fracture sustained by blunt trauma. Physicalexamination and nerve conduction study were consistent with injury to the median and radial nerves proximal to theelbow. The patient underwent open reduction and internal fixation of the humeral shaft fracture with neurolysis of the medianand radial nerves. Repeat electrom...

INTRODUCTION: Despite our growing knowledge on the mechanisms of fracture healing, about 5-10% of all fractures still show delayed healing or fail to heal (Marsh, 1998). Beyond its classical role in regulation of erythropoiesis, erythropoietin (EPO) has been shown to exert protective and regenerative actions in a variety of non-hematopoietic tissues. In a previous study we could show that daily...

Thermal oscillations of base pairs in the Peyrard-Bishop-Holstein model are simulated by stochastic fluctuations of base overlap integrals. Numerical investigation of the model is carried out for a hole transfer in G1A2G3G4 sequence which was previously studied experimentally by F. Lewis et al. A hole migration between G1 and G3G4 is determined by the matrix elements of the charge transition, b...

BACKGROUND The treatment aims of periprosthetic fractures (PPF) of the distal femur are a gentle stabilization, an early load-bearing capacity and a rapid postoperative mobilization of the affected patients. For the therapy planning of PPF a standardized classification is necessary which leads to a clear and safe therapy recommendation. Despite different established classifications, there is no...

A 3-year-old Holstein-Friesian cow was evaluated because of sudden onset of right hind limb lameness and pain with fetlock swelling for 2 days. Based on the history, clinical index scores and computed radiographic examinations, the case was accurately diagnosed to be a severely comminuted fracture of the proximal phalanx. This cow was assigned for conservative treatment with external coaptation...

The various relations between q-deformed oscillators algebras and the q-deformed su(2) algebras are discussed. In particular, we exhibit the similarity of the q-deformed su(2) algebra obtained from q-oscillators via Schwinger construction and those obtained from q-Holstein-Primakoff transformation and show how the relation between su √ q (2) and Hong Yan q-oscillator can be regarded as an speci...

a 3-year-old holstein-friesian cow was evaluated because of sudden onset of right hind limb lameness and pain with fetlock swelling for 2 days. based on the history, clinical index scores and computed radiographic examinations, the case was accurately diagnosed to be a severely comminuted fracture of the proximal phalanx. this cow was assigned for conservative treatment with external coaptation...

The objective of this study was to determine the mechanical properties on different size of cranial sutures in rat and same-aged mice. Ten sagittal sutures were harvested from 4-month-old Lewis rats and C57BL/6 mice. The specimens, kept moist, were mounted fresh and distracted until rupture. Load-displacement curve was constructed. The stiffness, Young’s modulus, fracture stress and fracture en...

the features of helicobacter pylori adhesins, their interactions with their host counterparts, regulated and selective gene expressions are amongst the many clever strategies this microorganism undertakes to survive the otherwise sterile gastric milieu. the ingenious crafting of these interactions and the respective host reactions govern, in part, an array of consequences ranging from asymptoma...
