The effect of implant choice on varus angulation and clinical results in the management of subtrochanteric fractures.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of implant choice on varus angulation in the management of subtrochanteric fractures.

Methods: Between 2011 and 2016, 58 patients were included in the study and femur locking plate (PF-LCP; Group 1 = 27) and proximal femoral nails (PFN; Group 2 = 31) were compared retrospectively.

Results: In group 1, femoral NSA was measured 131,37 ± 1,95 and last follow-up angle was 127,33 ± 2,40.

[Polymerase chain reaction].

The PCR is a method for obtaining millions of copies of a specific DNA sequence in vitro. It appears that this method will lead to several developments in the diagnosis and treatment of many disorders. Especially in genetics and infectious diseases successful results have been achieved.

[Recombinant DNA technology].

Recombinant DNA technology is a method depending on realization of genetic recombination events artificially. It became possible to obtain any ordered gene or its product with this method. Before production step, ordered gene is derived from original chromosome by endonuclease enzyme and integrated to a vector as a plasmid or a phage.

[Haemophilus influenzae strains isolated from various clinical specimens and their antibiotic susceptibilities].

In this study, a bacteriological examination was performed in the specimens of nose, ear and conjunctiva taken from 135 patients aged between 0-6 years old and 335 patients aged more than six years old for the isolation of H. influenzae. Ten H.

[Grouping of beta-hemolytic streptococci isolated from clinical specimens and their sensitivity to penicillin G].

260 beta hemolytic streptococci were isolated from clinical specimens sent to Microbiology Laboratory, Faculty of Medicine, Anadolu University between September 1988 - September 1989. They were grouped according to their sensitivity to bacitracin and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (SXT) and also serologically. Of 260 isolates, 83.
