We evaluated the clinical effectiveness of emergency pelvic external stabilization (EPES) as a first step of resuscitation and pelvic stabilization in trauma patients with hemodynamic and/or fracture instabilities. M ...

We induced angiogenesis in the tibial medulla and cortex of rabbits by electrical and mechanical stimulation, with the aim of future application to ischemic disease. Sixteen New Zealand rabbits were divided into 4 groups: ...

Objective. This study describes a new technique for treatment of Buerger’s disease, developed to stimulate angiogenesis, using a Kirschner wire placed in the medullary canal of the tibia. The aim of the study was to ...

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate both the cortical and the medullary anterior bowing of the femur, and to compare these measurements with current intramedullary nails to assess the adequacy of their ...

Objectives: We investigated thermal changes associated with the application of the Ilizarov transosseous wires, the extent of necrosis and the factors affecting necrosis. Me t h o d s : We used a pair of tibiae from a ...

Determination of the sex is one of the most important steps when evaluating decomposed bodies or skeletal remnants. However, relevant data exhibit significant ethnic and temporal variation. This study provides information ...

Summary: Nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB), is a pivotal transcription factor involved in the activation of the TNF-a and IL-1b genes. Activation of NF-kB in synovial cells is a feature seen in arthritis patients. Resveratrol, ...

Objective Estimation of total body height is a major step when a subject has to be identified from his/her skeletal structures. In the presence of decomposed skeletons and missing bones, estimation is usually based on ...

Introduction and aim: The investigation of new anatomical criteria and revalidation of existing ones in sex determination for different populations are among main research foci of forensic anthropometry. In that context, ...

OBJECTIVE: Alterations in the connective tissue of the hip joint capsule and ligaments might account for the increased laxity seen in patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip. The tensile features of the connective ...
