Category: Bunion; Midfoot/Forefoot Introduction/Purpose: Hallux valgus (HV) is of uncertain origin, which explains the plethora of treatment options available.In the last few years it has been shown that it is not a one plane deformity, but a multiplanar one.It is the authors belief that Hallux Valgus originates from instabilities located at medial
The corrosion behavior of Fe-containing directionally solidified (DS) and centrifugally cast (CC) Al-Si-Cu-Zn alloys with either Co or Ni additions has been investigated.Electrochemical and immersion corrosion methods were used to investigate the corrosion behavior in 0.6 M NaCl after short (1-h) and long (30-day) exposure periods.The employed soli
Introduction: Gliomas are the most common primary tumors of the central nervous system and, according to their malignancy, they are graded from I to IV.Recent studies have found that there is an association between gliomas and mutations in exon 4 of genes that codify for isocitrate dehydrogenases 1 and 2 (IDH1: codon 132; IDH2: codon 172).Objective
BACKGROUND: Obtaining informed consent for clinical trials is especially challenging when working in rural, resource-limited areas, where there are often high levels of illiteracy and lack of experience with clinical research.Such an area, a remote field site in the northeastern part of the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, is currently being prepared
The hydrocarbon generation potential of the Campano-Maastrichtian to Paleogene shales from the Benin Flank (located in SW Nigeria) of the Anambra Basin, has been CONDITIONER previously investigated mostly by studying outcrops and by relatively few subsurface data-based studies.Thus, it is expedient undertaking an assessment of the hydrocarbon gener
