Abstract
We studied the effects of immobilization on the contractile properties and the Na(v) of rat Peroneus Longus (PL). The distal tendon of PL was cut and fixed to the adjacent bone at neutral muscle length. After 4 or 8 weeks of immobilization, the contractile and the Na(v) properties were studied and c...

Abstract
The treatment of osteochondral lesion of the talus (OLT) is mainly based upon the stage of the disease so accurate imaging is crucial. SPECT/CT combines bone scan with high-resolution CT and can provide functional-anatomical images in a single stage. The purpose of this study was to assess the value...

Abstract
Cervical extrication collars are applied to millions of blunt trauma victims despite the lack of any evidence that a collar can protect against secondary injuries to the cervical spine. Cadaver studies support that in the presence of a dissociative injury, substantial motion can occur within the occ...

Abstract
We applied a heart positioner during operations to remove large mediastinal tumors. Fixing and lifting the tumor with this device allowed a good view behind the tumor. Separating the tumor from surrounding structures was easy and safe, with no risk of insult. The device caused no damage to the tumor...

Abstract
Graduated compression stockings are widely used for deep venous thrombosis (DVT) prophylaxis. Although below-knee stockings are used more often than thigh-length stockings, no reliable evidence indicates that they are as effective as thigh-length stockings.
To compare the effectiveness of thigh-leng...

Abstract
This study compared immobilization of gemsbok (Oryx gazella) using thiafentanil-xylazine (TX) versus carfentanil-xylazine (CX). Twelve adult gemsboks were divided into two groups, TX and CX. Each group received either 6 mg thiafentanil (0.036 microg/kg (0.032-0.040 microg/kg) and 20 mg xylazine (TX)...

We obtained good results in 13 out of 14 cases. Good results can be obtained when type I fractures are treated nonoperatively. Type II and type III lesions showed better results after arthroscopic reduction and internal fixation. Nonabsorbable suture fixation for osteosynthesis is recommended. The p...

We hypothesize that histaminergic activity in the septohippocampal system, which is active during walking compared with other behavioral states, is responsible for the behavioral dependence of LTP. Field basal-dendritic EPSPs of CA1 pyramidal cells were recorded in freely behaving rats, and LTP was...
