CYCLIC STABILITY OF LOCKING PLATE AUGMENTED WITH INTRAMEDULLARY POLYMETHYL METHACRYLATE (PMMA) STRUT FIXATION FOR OSTEOPOROTIC HUMERAL FRACTURES: A BIOMECHANICAL STUDY

Cyclic Stability of Locking Plate Augmented with Intramedullary Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA) Strut Fixation for Osteoporotic Humeral Fractures: A Biomechanical Study

The locking plate may provide improved fixation in osteoporotic bone; however, it has been reported to fail due to varus collapse or screw perforation of the articular surface, especially in osteoporotic bone with medial cortex comminution.Using bone graft as an intramedullary strut together with plate fixation may result in a stronger construct.Ho

Photoresponse of homostructure WSe2 rectifying diode

The WSe2 homostructure rectifying diode is demonstrated, p-type and n-type WSe2 regions were formed by adopting different layer WSe2 thicknesses.Typically, the common way to fabricate two Remote Starter dimensional material based diode is to use heterostructure by stacking two different copyright type and band gap energies materials.However, there

Generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from an infant with Pompe disease carrying with compound mutations of R608X and E888X in GAA gene

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) were generated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from the peripheral blood of a five months-old boy with glycogen storage disease type Mystery Shirt II(GSD II, also known as Pompe disease, PD) carries compound mutations R608X E888X in GAA gene.PBMCs were reprogrammed using non-integrativ

Regulation of B cell differentiation by intracellular membrane associated proteins and microRNAs: role in the antibody response

B cells are central to adaptive immunity and their functions in antibody responses are exquisitely regulated.As suggested by recent findings, B cell differentiation is mediated by intracellular membrane structures (including endosomes, lysosomes and autophagosomes) and protein factors specifically associated with these membranes, including Rab7, At
