Irreparable rotator cuffs with retracted torn ends remain a significant challenge for most shoulder surgeons.Since repairs are preferable to reconstruction or replacement Makeup Brush whenever possible, studies for anatomical reductions with minimal tension and secure fixation are important.In this study, the authors introduce an arthroscopic supra
Electroacupuncture vs topical diclofenac sodium gel for patients with hand osteoarthritis: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
Abstract Background Hand osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent joint disorder and a great burden to both patients and society.While electroacupuncture (EA) and topical diclofenac sodium gel (DSG) are both currently used to treat OA, no head-to-head study of EA and topical DSG for hand OA exists.Thus, it remains unknown whether one intervention offers

The Role of Movement Analysis in Diagnosing and Monitoring Neurodegenerative Conditions: Insights from Gait and Postural Control
Quantifying gait and postural control adds valuable information that aids in understanding neurological conditions where motor symptoms predominate and cause considerable functional impairment.Disease-specific clinical scales exist; however, they are often susceptible to subjectivity, and can lack sensitivity when identifying subtle gait and postur
Removal of H2S from Biogas Using Thiobacillus sp.: Batch and Continuous Studies
Anaerobic digestion produces biogas which usually contains 60-70% of methane (CH4), 30-40% of carbon-di-oxide (CO2), and 10-2,000 ppm hydrogen sulfide (H2S).The concentration of H2S depends upon the type of substrate.H2S tends to corrode pipes and machines carrying them.The high concentrations of H2S present in biogas may adversely affect electrici
