introduction: there are differences in the pattern of the knee joint formation of the studied species. according to the small number of studies which focused chronologically on the avian knee histomorphogenetic events, its “morphogenetic pattern” is hard to be proposed. the present work was designed to identify the sequential events of the knee formation in the partridge embryo. regarding to di...

This study examined the correlation between patient comorbidity status, hospitalization length of stay (LOS), and cost for total knee arthroplasty (TKA), total hip arthroplasty (THA), and 1- to 3-level lumbar spinal fusion procedures. Using the Premier Perspective Database, adults older than 18 years who underwent primary unilateral TKA, THA, or spinal fusion between January 1, 2008, and June 3...

Designing and producing a proper fusion construction is the most important problem of producing large quantities of a properly folded functional protein. This construction should have all necessary components of a real gene. A good designed fusion gene construction could be cloned into a good and suitable host. Clostridium perfringens is an important pathogen of humans and livestock and produce...

conclusions significant improvement was noted at womac scale (pain level; 5 points, stiffness level; 2 points, physical function loss; 15 points, and total womac 22 points). osteoarthritis level of the patient was improved to grade i at radiological evaluation after a year. our case is the report that presents radiological evidence in addition to clinical findings of improvement of osteoarthrit...

background: one of the important sites for extrapulmonary tb involvement is the skeleton. tuberculous spondylitis (pott’s disease) comprises 50-70% of the skeletal tuberculosis. methods: in this case series study, we prospectively investigated the result of anterior surgery alone (anterior debridement, fusion and instrumentation) in the patients with spinal tuberculosis. the patients with immat...

BACKGROUND Although autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) is a well-established therapy for the treatment of isolated cartilage defects of the knee joint, little is known about typical complications and their treatment after ACI. HYPOTHESIS Unsatisfactory outcome after ACI is associated with technique-related typical complications. STUDY DESIGN Case series; Level of evidence, 4. METHO...

background: the aim of this study is evaluation of the validity and reliability of the persian version of knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score (koos) in patients with isolated meniscus injury. materials and methods: one hundred people with isolated meniscal injury (29 females and 71 males with a mean age ± standard deviation [sd] = 32.37 ± 9.97 years) and ?fty normal people with no knee...

objective: the aim of the current study was to investigate the role of fusion beliefs and metacognitions in obsessive–compulsive symptoms in the general population. methods: a sample of 200 students of kharazmi university was selected from various faculties and completed the following questionnaires: metacognitions questionnaire-30 (mcq-30), thought-fusion instrument (tfi) and maudsley obsessiv...
