BONE CEMENT DISTRIBUTION IS A POTENTIAL PREDICTOR TO THE RECONSTRUCTIVE EFFECTS OF UNILATERAL PERCUTANEOUS KYPHOPLASTY IN OVCFS: A RETROSPECTIVE STUDY

Abstract Background Osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) is a common type of fracture, and percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) is an eligible solution to it.Previous studies have revealed that both the volume and filling pattern of bone cement correlate with the clinical outcomes after PKP procedure.However, the role of bone cement distrib

A quasi-steady (QS) model that includes both the instantaneous wind azimuth and elevation angle is applied and extended to relate the instantaneous wind speeds and roof pressures for a typical low-rise building.The construction and validation of the QS vector model were done through the synchronized measurements of wind speed and building surface p

Theoretical and experimental approaches have been applied to study the T-Shirts polymer physics underlying the compaction of DNA in the bacterial nucleoid.Knowledge of the compaction mechanism is necessary to obtain a mechanistic understanding of the segregation process of replicating chromosome arms (replichores) during the cell cycle.The first pa
