OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Suture Canalization, which is a kind of Schlemm canal surgery, on the treatment of patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). METHODS: Retrospective cases series study. Fifty-two patients (52 eyes) with POAG were recruited from October 2007 to July 2009…

BACKGROUND: The result from the Life After Stroke (LAST) study showed that an 18-month follow up program as part of the primary health care, did not improve maintenance of motor function for stroke survivors. In this study we evaluated whether the follow-up program could lead to a reduction in the use of health care co…

Fifty seven leprosy patients having moderately collapsed nose were taken for nasal reconstruction. The bone graft was obtained from the second metatarsal of the foot. It was corticoperiosteal and placed in between lining and the nasal skin. 48 patients were reviewed periodically at 3 months, initially for 2 years and i…

UNLABELLED: THE AIM OF OUR INVESTIGATION: To study the dynamic of morbidity level of pancreas in Udmurt Republic (UR) and to prognose it for nearest years. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We used the official statistic materials of Republic medical information-analytic center for 2001-2011 yy. In analyses of received data we u…

This research sought to identify what has been helpful for young people who have a parent diagnosed with cancer. Semistructured telephone interviews were conducted with young people (N = 15, age: M = 15.9 years) who had a parent diagnosed with cancer within the last 5 years. A phenomenological thematic data a…

We report our experience during the last 6 years with 20 patients fitted with prosthesis (19 patients with osseointegration of screw, 1 patient with primarily gluing method) for camouflage of congenital or acquired (trauma, tumor resection) defects of the ear, nose, or eye. Out of a total of 53 extra-oral implants fitt…

A comparative study of the mentally ill patients admitted to the hospital for the first time annually over five years (1975-1979) made it possible to establish some tendencies in changes in this population. The follow-up data obtained within a period of 3-5 years were studied. The analysis showed that the inpatient tre…

A case of fronto-basal traumatism with isolated fracture of the left sphenoidal sinus is reported. Meningitis occurred 5, 8 and 11 years, respectively, after injury. Cerebrospinal fluid cranio-nasal fistula was observed at the first time 8 years after injury and remained intermitent in the last 6 years. The surgical te…

Sintering and microstructural development in ceramics has long been studied in a two-dimensional grain size-density space, with only texture (i.e. deviation of grain orientation from random) used to gain first insights into additional parametric spaces. Following an increased interest for grain boundary engineering and…

The field of breast cancer had witnessed clear improvements in survival and less morbidity over the last few decades owing to earlier detection as a result of public awareness and screening, as well as treatments involving the disciplines of surgical, radiation and medical oncology along with advances in imaging and pa…

Immediate and 15-min delayed recall of semantically related or unrelated word lists was investigated in 144 normally developing children ranging from 5 to 10 years of age. Immediate recall for the related and unrelated lists increased in a parallel fashion as a function of age. The ability to cluster semantically relat…

The thiazolopyrimidine nucleus is a bioisosteric analog of purine and an important class of N-containing heterocycles. Thiazolopyrimidine scaffolds are considered a promising class of bioactive compounds that encompass diverse biological activities, such as antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, anticancer, corticotroph…

The exact prevalence of epileptic seizures in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) is still a matter of some controversy. In a population-based, unselected group of 423 patients with MS we identified 17 (4.02%) with epileptic seizures. The mean age at onset of MS was 25.2 years and at onset of epilepsy 32.6 years. A p…

Reef corals are currently undergoing climatically driven poleward range expansions, with some evidence for equatorial range retractions. Predicting their response to future climate scenarios is critical to their conservation, but ecological models are based only on short-term observations. The fossil record provides th…

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY: Osteonecrosis of the femoral head is reported in a very variable proportion of renal transplant recipients. When these patients require total hip arthroplasty (THA), immunosuppression and poor bone quality increase the risk of aseptic loosening and infection. In the literature, functional outcome…

To compare the results of total gastrectomy performed during the last 30 years, we classified 256 patients into four chronologic groups. Despite advances facilitating early detection of gastric cancer, the percentage of patients with stage IV cancer was not significantly different among the four groups. However, operat…

Intertrochanteric osteotomies (Pauwels) were performed in 203 hips. Their average age at operation was 41 years (range 15 to 66 years). Average follow-up was 16 years and 5 months. 78 of 203 hips had been undergone varus osteotomies (P1) and valgus osteotomies (P2) were in 125 hips. All the hips were evaluated clinical…

OBJECTIVE: To calculate the survival of people with Down syndrome over the past 60 years and the influence of major perinatal factors by using linked population-based data. STUDY DESIGN: A data linkage between 2 Western Australian (WA) data sets (the Register for Developmental Anomalies and the Intellectual Disability…

BACKGROUND: One of the performance criteria of a university hospital is its publication activities. The aim of this bibliometric study was a comparative benchmarking of the publication activities of German orthopedic trauma surgery university hospitals. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The publication performance of the lea…

The aim of this study was to determine differences in glycolytic metabolite concentrations and work output in response to an all-out interval training session in 23 cyclists with at least 2 years of interval training experience (E) and those inexperienced (IE) in this form of training. The intervention involved subsequ…
