Influence of age and gender on gait kinematics of pelvis and hip in healthy adults aged 19-60 years.

Purpose: Pelvic and hip motion are pivotal in maintaining postural control and energy efficient gait. An insight into influence of age and gender on the coupled motion of hip and pelvis in gait-cycle will guide clinical rehabilitation strategies and pertinent technology-design for specific age-groups. Therefore, present study evaluated pelvic and hip-joint gait kinematics in healthy females and males across adult-hood.

Institution of cardiopulmonary bypass in an awake patient for resection of isolated intrathoracic right subclavian artery aneurysm causing near total compression of the trachea.

The subclavian artery's intrathoracic segment is a rare peripheral artery aneurysm site. Common causes are atherosclerosis, trauma, vasculitis, and infection. Subclavian artery aneurysms have a higher propensity for rupture, thrombosis, embolization, and compression of surrounding structures, thus necessitating urgent surgical care.

Evaluation of two methods for counting residual leukocytes in leukoreduced packed red cells: Flow cytometry and fully automated cell counter.

Background And Objectives: Objective of the study is to explore the possibility of utilization of seven part fully automated hematology analyzer for enumeration of residual leukocytes (residual white blood cells [rWBCs]) in leukoreduced packed red cells (LR-PRCs) prepared from whole blood at a blood center as an alternate to the gold standard method, flow cytometry. In this study, we evaluate the performance characteristic of hematology analyzer against flow cytometry for the estimation of rWBCs in 39 LR-PRC units.

Materials And Methods: PRCs prepared from whole blood donations by 39 donors were leukoreduced and their volumes were noted.

Comparison of Sagittal Condylar Guidance Angle Obtained by Radiographic Methods and Manual Programming of Articulators in Dentate Patients - A Clinico-radiographic Study.

Background: The ultimate goal of advanced procedures in prosthetic dentistry is to construct a prosthesis based on the accurate reproduction of condylar guidance.

Aim: To compare the sagittal condylar inclination obtained using the cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), panoramic image, and two articulator systems.

Settings And Design: A cross-sectional study was carried out in 20 dentate patients in the age group of 20-40 years.
