Introduction: The aim of this study is to compare the walking activity of a cohort of individuals before and after total ankle arthroplasty (TAA). Methods: Nineteen consecutive patients (ten males and nine females) with mean age of 58.72, selected for TAA between January and June 2006, were prospectively reviewed with the use of a dedicated ambulat

When performing a radiological assessment for a trauma case with associated head injury, a fragment of dense tissue detected near the craniovertebral junction would rapidly be assessed as a fractured bone fragment. However, if further imaging and evaluation of the cervical spine with computerised tomography (CT) did not demonstrate an obvious fract

INTRODUCTION & OBJECTIVE The IIUM Breast Centre is an accredited mammogram provider under the College of Radiology Subsidised Mammography Programme (CMP) from 2004. We wish to present an audit of the results on 1344 Malaysian women who had mammogram under the programme at the Centre from 2004 - 2008. METHODS All women who came for mammogram und

Tracheal obstruction can be due to tracheal stenosis or tracheal anomaly rather than from compression by pulmonary artery sling when both are present in a patient. Patient can present with signs and symptoms of airway obstruction without swallowing problems. We present a case of this rare condition.A child with airway obstruction secondary to trach

Introduction: Adrenal injuries are rare, as the adrenal glands lies deep in the abdomen, seemingly protected from blunt abdominal trauma. Computed tomography(CT) is the gold standard for evaluating adrenal gland injuries, where haematoma and active bleeding due to injury to the suprarenal vessels may be visualized using new multi-detector row CT (M

Strontium doped hydroxyapatite (Sr-doped HA) nanopowder has been synthesized using a sol-gel method. The concentration of strontium was varied at 2, 5, 10 and 15 mol%. The as synthesized powders were calcined at temperatures of 500 -900ºC. The calcined white Sr-doped HA powders were characterized using differential and thermogravimetric analysis (

The aim of this experimental study is to compare fusion status at lumbar intertransverse processes between implantation with hydroxyapatite (HA) granules alone, HA granules mixed with autologous platelet rich plasma (HA-PRP) and autograft. Twenty-four New Zealand white rabbits were used. The rabbits were randomized into two groups of 12 rabbits eac
