Treatment of Malrotation and Limb Length Discrepancy in Osteogenesis Imperfecta Patients: Report of Two Cases [PDF]
Malunion of recurrent fractures in Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) patients causes limb length discrepancy and malrotation. These cause added difficulty for OI patients to ambulate.

Fifth Metacarpal Neck Fractures: Outcome-influencing Factors
Introduction Fifth metacarpal neck fractures are extremely common, but there is still no consensus regarding the ideal course of treatment. Volar angulation and shortening are decisive factors; however, there is still controversy about the cut-off values

Vowel Shortening in Central Kurdish: An Analysis Based on the Principles of Optimality Phonology [PDF]
In the present descriptive-analytical study, the researchers investigate vowel shortening process in Central Kurdish based on the principles and methods of optimality phonology. Data analysis indicates that this process along with glide formation is used

Slip rates on the Chelungpu and Chushiang thrust faults inferred from a deformed strath terrace along the Dungpuna river, west central Taiwan [PDF]
The Chelungpu fault produced the September 1999 M_w = 7.6 Chi-Chi earthquake, central Taiwan. The shortening rate accommodated by this structure, integrated over several seismic cycles, and its contribution to crustal shortening across the Taiwanese ...

Kinematics of fault-related folding derived from a sandbox experiment [PDF]
We analyze the kinematics of fault tip folding at the front of a fold-and-thrust wedge using a sandbox experiment. The analog model consists of sand layers intercalated with low-friction glass bead layers, deposited in a glass-sided experimental device ...
