Plummer Vinson Syndrome: First Two Tunisian Pediatric Cases by Werdani A* in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science (OAJBS) Aims: In this study we present the outcomes for patients with the rotaglide mobile meniscal knee prosthesis. All patients reviewed had this prosthesis implanted as a primary total knee Arthroplasty in one local teaching hospital dept. The minimum follows up period was 2 years (range 2-8.2). Method: Patients were assessed clinically by the junior author (CW) and results were standardised using the Hospital for Specialist Surgery (HSS) knee score. Complications were quantified from patient history and examination of the case notes. Results: Two hundred and two knees were reviewed. The results were then consolidated into groups with a minimum follow up of 2,3,4 and 5 years. The average HSS score was consistent at 91 for all four groups. Complications were also consistent ranging between 10 and 11% in all groups. These are summarised in Table 1 below. The common...

Consistent Results with the Rotaglide Total Knee Arthroplasty.

Numerical Study of the Pedicle Screws’ Pullout: Design of Experiment and Results Processing Using the ‘Taguchi’ Method by K Jendoubi* in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science (OAJBS) The objective of this research is to use the Taguchi method to study the effects of parameters that affect the pull out of pedicle screws. These parameters are biological-based (normal or osteoporotic bone types, pedicle diameter), design-based (screw’s outer diameter, thread depth, pitch, and shape) and surgical-based (preparation hole, bone-screw contact type). A total of seven (7) parameters having each two (2) levels each. Using 2D axisymmetric finite element computational models, a series of “Taguchi” simulation tests based on an orthogonal L8 [27] lattice is conducted. https://biomedscis.com/fulltext/numerical-study-of-the-pedicle-screws-pullout-design-of-experiment-and-results-processing-using-the-taguchi-method.ID.000327.php To Know More About Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science Plea...

The Taxonomic Analysis and Genetic Biodiversity of Nodule Bacteria Soybean (Glycine Max (L.) Merr.) Isolated from Soils of Central Asia by Umarov BR* in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science (OAJBS) The taxonomy of nitrogen-fixing bacteria forming symbiotic associations with legumes has undergone profound changes in recent years. The use of very sensitive and precise molecular methods has made it possible to identify a wide variety of rhizobia, especially among the natural field populations of these soil bacteria. The purpose of the present the study was aimed at identifying and characterizing isolated soybean rhizobia from different types of soils of Central Asia that are regularly used for agricultural production. The actual composition and genetic diversity of the population of natural fields has been studied using various PCR methods such as 16S rDNA. Seventy rhizobia isolates were characterized and compared with reference and / or type strains representing Bradyrhizobium ...

Acute Human Parvovirus B19 Infection an Immunocompetent Female Adult: A Case Report by Carlos José Atencia Flórez* in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science (OAJBS) Acute human Parvovirus B19 infection is a well-known cause of infectious erythema in pediatric age. However, in adult patient clinical picture is different but characteristic presenting with erythema, acute polyarthritis, systemic inflammation, hepatic enzymes elevation and anemia. Here, we present a case report about a nonpregnant immunocompetent adult female with a compelling symptom and a serological confirmation also a suspected close epidemiological contact was an infant with infectious erythema. We describe the clinical spectrum of this infection. To recognize its clinical picture and laboratory abnormalities, as well as the infant as a close contact, should make the clinician consider acute human parvovirus B19 infection as main differential diagnosis. https://biomedscis.com/fulltext/acute-human-parvovirus-b19-i...
