ficantly better limb salvage than endovascular intervention in patients with tissue loss. Surgical options should be given more emphasis as the first-line option in this cohort of patients unless the cardiopulmonary risk is prohibitive.OCCUPATIONAL APPLICATIONS We found, contrary to expectations, that performing a fatiguing simulated heavy manual…[Read more]

Aseptic prosthetic loosening due to wear particle-induced inflammatory osteolysis is the main cause of failure for artificial joint replacement. The inflammatory response and the production of pro-osteoclastic factors lead to elevation of osteoclast formation and excessive activity results in extensive bone destruction around the bone-implant…[Read more]

OBJECTIVE Even in high-risk trials pertaining to transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), patients with end-stage liver disease (ESLD) have been under-represented. We sought to study this population group from a large national United States population database. METHODS We used National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database from January 2005 to…[Read more]

We report on an experimental investigation of the five vibrational Raman lines at 358 nm, 388 nm, 391 nm, 428 nm, and 471 nm of N2+ resonantly driven by the self-seeding ionic lasers generated by a polarization-modulated (PM) or alternatively a linearly polarized (LP) femtosecond laser. click here It was found that the spectral intensities of…[Read more]

Low back pain is a common problem in pregnant woman. Elastic tape is an alternative method that may reduce low back pain.

To compare the effect of elastic tape to placebo tape in the treatment of low back pain in pregnant women.

Forty pregnant women were allocated into two groups elastic group (n= 20) and placebo group (n= 20). All…[Read more]

Compared to the therapeutic RW, a significantly higher proportion of the diagnostic RW identified fear of being infected as a major stressor (166/412 (40.3%)

30/110 (27.3%),

= 0.01).

This survey has demonstrated changes to clinical practice, in particular to working patterns, service delivery and infection prevention and control…[Read more]
