Abstract

The roentgenograms were evaluated of 220 patients (159 female, 61 male) with 61 luxations, 77 subluxations and 203 dysplastic hip joints which were a maximum of 2 years old during treatment and had been under observation for between 2 and 17 11/12 years. The CCD-, CE- and Ac-angles were measured. 1. The CCD-angle develops relatively independent of the therapy for the first few months. In the long term, the abduction treatment leads to a straightening up of the femoral neck. Here a physiological component apparently has an effect which reduces the straightening after several years. 2. The CE-angle rapidly becomes enlarged during the first few months, later the rate is slower. Three years after treatment began, the CE-angle was normal in 83.6% of the patients. 3. The Ac-angle decreases rapidly during the first 6 months. Three years after the beginning of treatment, 65.7% of the patients had a norm of less than 20 degrees. 4. All angles show a positive correlation of their beginning and end values i.e. light dysplasias have the best prognosis. 5. The monotherapy with a spreader pant showed a particular advantage over the combination treatment and plaster fixation. 6. The best result was achieved with treatment beginning before the...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
