Association of leptin and insulin with childhood obesity and retinal vessel diameters.

Objective: Childhood obesity is associated with an impaired retinal microcirculation. The aim of the study was to investigate the association between specific obesity-related biomarkers, physical fitness and retinal vessel diameters in school children.

Design And Subjects: We studied 381 children aged 10-11 years (body mass index (BMI): 19.

Long-term effects of tibial angular malunion on the knee and ankle joints.

Twenty-seven patients with 28 tibial fractures were evaluated for an average of 8.2 years (range 6.0-12.

Arthroscopy education.

The recent advances in technology, widespread use of arthroscopy in essentially any joint, combined with public awareness, has increased the demand on orthopedists to become proficient in arthroscopy. The orthopedic literature is essentially void of information regarding arthroscopic education for either residents or clinicians. This article presents a description of an arthroscopy lab for instruction in noninvasive surgical techniques.

A method of determining the angular malalignments of the knee and ankle joints resulting from a tibial malunion.

Malalignments of the knee and ankle joints resulting from tibial angular malunion can be determined using mathematical analysis. The angular deformity of the tibia is equal to the sum of the angular malalignments formed by the knee and ankle joints in relation to the horizontal plane. These malalignments are not equal.

Metabolism of glucose and glycogen in Limulus polyphemus in vivo.

1. As much as 70% of Tritium administered on C-6 of glucose is excreted as 3H2O within 3 hr, showing an extensive, rapid glycolytic degradation of glucose in Limulus. About 80% of the 14C found in Limulus blood one hour after injection of glucose-14C is in the anionic fraction.
