This pilot study characterized normative pain and analgesic consumption following lower-extremity fracture surgery in children. Additionally, we sought to determine how various caregiver- and patient-specific psychosocial factors affect pain, opioid use, and health-related quality-of-life (HRQOL). We ...
What are the factors that can cause someone to scar more than others? Why does the breaking of bones makes them stronger than they were before? Define and describe the three components of a long bone. What components would seem most likely to fracture when impacted by an outside force such...
An object impacted by a high-energy liquid jet experiences a short period of high stress, or hydraulic shock (Obara et al., 1995). The pressure upon impact can be far greater than the rock strength (Hansom et al., 2008). High pressures occur as cracks fill, especially when air pockets...
How does the bone remodel when there is a bone fracture? Explain why longitudinal bone growth cannot occur in patients with acromegaly. What is spina bifida? (a) What would happen if a torn ligament healed and was replaced with calcified irregular tissue? (b) How would this affect joint ...
(such as traction). In such a case it may be possible to avoid implant usage as the fracture components are not mobile and can progress to healing. Immobility is a factor which promotes union. The position of an impacted fracture is usually acceptable without much angulation. A certain ...
Why does faceting occur commonly near or at the snow surface? If this warm surface is subsequently buried by new snow as temperatures drop,a strong temperature gradient forms between the relatively warm melt-layer and the colder new snow, resulting in the formation of near-surface faceted crystal...
Before beginning a race, a NASCAR driver dons several pieces of protective equipment that could save his life if an accident were to occur. This gear covers the driver from head to toe and would even protect him if a fire were to break out in his car. ...

Severe flooding in China, which produces ~ 70% of the world's silicon, restricted coal extrac- tion and increased energy costs to the point where Si produc- tion profitability was impacted, and output was reduced [40, 41]. Si is a key ingredient in many of the most important Al ...
Charlie Hoehn was a full-time employee of mine during the making and launch of The 4-Hour Body. It was an intense period. In this post, Charlie will share his M.E.D. (Minimum Effective Dose) for overcoming anxiety and managing workaholism. There are six
