Abstract:
Several operative treatments have been explored to treat patients with progressive or symptomatic osteonecrosis of the talus, aiming to alleviate pain and restore mobility. Because most affected patients are typically younger and more active individuals, joint preservation techniques have received increasing attention. Core decompression, either through an open or percutaneous drilling approach has been used. Similarly, nonvascularized and vascularized bone grafts have been used in clinical practice with varying results. Owing to the relative paucity of studies, in this review we aimed to investigate the use of (1) core decompression and (2) bone grafting for treating osteonecrosis of the talus.

The Nucleosome Core Particle
The paradox
Nucleosomes, paradoxically, perform two opposite functions simultaneously. On the one hand, their main responsibility is to protect the delicate DNA strands from physical damage and help achieve a higher compaction ratio. While on the other hand, they must allow polymerase enzymes to access DNA...

Mesh Analysis with Current Sources
Current Source in One Mesh: The analysis process is straightforward when a current source is found in only one mesh within the circuit. Mesh currents are assigned as usual, with the mesh containing the current source excluded from the analysis. Kirchhoff's voltage law...
Critical Region, Critical Values and Significance Level
In hypothesis testing, a sample statistic is converted to a test statistic using z, t, or chi-square distribution. A critical region is an area under the curve in probability distributions demarcated by the critical value. When the test statistic falls in this region, it suggests that the null hypothesis must be rejected. As this region contains all those values of the...
