Medial femoral condyle fracture as a complication of antegrade intramedullary nailing

A 49-year-old man suffered a closed oblique fracture of the middle third of his left femur. Closed reduction and internal fixation by intramedullary (IM) nailing were performed. Per-operative fluoroscopic imag...

Increased glacial-age ventilation of the Chilean margin by Antarctic Intermediate Water

Antarctic Intermediate Water is an oxygen-rich water mass that spreads throughout the Southern Hemisphere oceans. Marine sediment chemistry indicates that the water mass was produced at higher rates and had hi...

Elevated BNP with normal systolic function in asymptomatic individuals at-risk for heart failure: a marker of diastolic dysfunction and clinical risk

B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is widely accepted in the evaluation of left ventricular systolic dysfunction and heart failure. However, little is known of the implications of elevated BNP levels in individu...

The Late Quaternary History of Biogeochemical Cycling of Carbon

The cycling of carbon between the atmosphere, ocean and continents controls the concentration of atmospheric CO₂(pCO₂), which in turn impacts the earth’s radiation balance. Correlations between the concentration ...

Structure and Properties of Tin-Doped Metal Oxides

Tin-doped Fe₃O₄ prepared by solid state reactions is shown by X-ray powder diffraction and extended X-ray absorption fine structure to contain tin in the octahedral sites of the inverse spinel-related structure.

Orbital modulation of the Earth's magnetic field intensity

More than 20 years ago, on the basis of data from a Pacific sediment core, it was suggested that geomagnetic field intensity may vary with the Earth's orbital obliquity (centred on a period of ∼41 kyr) as a re...

Millennial-scale climate instability during the early Pleistocene epoch

Climate-proxy records of the past 100,000 years show that the Earth's climate has varied significantly and continuously on timescales as short as a few thousand years (1–7). Similar variability has also recently ...

Transcription factories and chromosome structure

Condensation is the hallmark of mitosis. Why, then, does the chromatin fibre not condense into the most compact form, a sphere? Why are chromatids cylindrical, and not spherical? What are the basic principles ...

Comparative study of two largely infilled estuaries: The Eden Estuary (Scotland) and the Ria de Foz (Spain)

Two small estuaries, the Eden Estuary of eastern Scotland and the Ria de Foz of north west Spain, are compared. The former was glaciated during the Pleistocene, the latter was not. These water bodies are macro...

Internal seiches and subaqueous landforms in lacustrine cohesive sediments

The introduction of sidescan sonar to surveying the floors of Scottish Lochs has permitted recognition of low-relief blister-like slides on the slopes of major basins. Here we report that these features occur ...
