F tularensis exists in two forms, Jellison types A and B. These forms are serologically identical and differ primarily in their geographic distribution, fermentation reactions, and virulence. Type B ( F tularensis biovar palaearctica) is primarily found in Asian and European rodents and results in a milder form of disease in humans. www.emedicine.com /ped/byname/tularemia.htm   (2925 words)

eMedicine - Stress Fracture : Article by Jonathan C Reeser, MD, PhD Stress fractures at the base of the second metatarsal appear to be prone to delayed healing and may be treated best with a period of immobilization. Stress fractures most commonly occur in the lower limbs as a result of the ground-reaction forces (GRFs) that must be dissipated during running, walking, marching, or jumping. Stress fractures, like most overuse injuries, typically are multifactorial in etiology; thus, if the diagnosis has been made or is suspected, trying to determine what factors precipitated or contributed to the injury is important. www.emedicine.com /pmr/topic134.htm   (6774 words)

eMedicine - Skull Fracture : Article by Nazer H Qureshi, MD Longitudinal fracture occurs in the temporoparietal region and involves the squamous portion of the temporal bone, the superior wall of the external auditory canal, and the tegmen tympani. Although skull fractures carry a significant potential risk of cranial nerve and vascular injuries and direct brain injury, most skull fractures are linear vault fractures in children and are not associated with epidural hematoma. The skull vault is composed of cancellous bone (diploë) sandwiched between 2 tablets, the lamina externa (1.5 mm), and the lamina interna (0.5 mm). www.emedicine.com /med/topic2894.htm   (6774 words)

eMedicine - Penile Fracture and Trauma : Article by Jong M Choe, MD, FACS† Penile fracture is a urologic emergency that may have devastating physiologic and psychologic consequences. Penile cavernosography demonstrates extravasation of contrast material from the corpus cavernosum into the penile soft tissues, indicating a laceration of the tunica albuginea. In a typical penile fracture, the normal external penile appearance is completely obliterated because of significant penile deformity, swelling, and ecchymosis (the so-called eggplant deformity). www.emedicine.com /med/topic3415.htm   (3097 words)

eMedicine - Triplane Fracture : Article by John L Abt, DO, FACEP, FACFE The 3 fracture fragments thus produced are (1) a rectangular fragment of the anterolateral portion of the epiphysis, (2) the remainder of the epiphysis with an attached posterior spike of the distal tibial metaphysis, and (3) the tibial shaft with the proximal metaphysis and anteromedial epiphysis. The 3 fracture fragments produced are (1) a rectangular fragment of the anterolateral portion of the epiphysis, (2) the remainder of the epiphysis with an attached posterior spike of the distal tibial metaphysis, and (3) the tibial shaft with the anteromedial epiphysis (see Image 4). The anterior-posterior view of the distal tibia and epiphysis is illustrated as follows: Yellow arrows indicate the horizontal fracture component through the growth plate, white arrows indicate the vertical fracture through the epiphysis in the sagittal plane, and black arrows outline the superior edges of the posterior metaphyseal spike. www.emedicine.com /orthoped/topic353.htm   (3097 words)

eMedicine - Metatarsals, Fractures : Article by Prabhakar Rajiah, MBBS, MD, FRCR Oblique fracture of the metaphysis of the distal shaft of the fifth metatarsal. Avulsion fracture of the tuberosity of the fifth metatarsal. A Jones fracture is caused by inversion of foot, which produces tension on the peroneus brevis tendon and on the lateral cord of the plantar aponeurosis. www.emedicine.com /RADIO/topic850.htm   (3951 words)

eMedicine - Fractures, Hip : Article by Geoff Winkley, MD Hip fracture at a young age is not common and is usually the result of a major traumatic event or, rarely, is related to bone pathology. Fractures of the neck, especially displaced fractures, often lead to avascular necrosis of the femoral head from disruption of interosseous vascular channels and intracapsular vessels, which lie against the periosteum of the femoral neck. Hip fracture resulting from major trauma often is associated with other bone and soft-tissue injuries, intra-abdominal and intrapelvic injuries, major blood loss, head and neck injuries, and other extremity injuries. www.emedicine.com /emerg/topic198.htm   (3732 words)

eMedicine - Hip Fracture : Article by Naveenpal S Bhatti Stress fractures occur mainly at the femoral neck and are classified as either tension (at the superior aspect of the femoral neck) or compression (at the inferior aspect of the femoral neck). Fractures of the proximal femur are extremely rare in young athletes and are usually caused by high-energy motor vehicle accidents or significant trauma during athletic activity. The rate of fractures is low in adolescent and young athletic populations, estimated to be less than 2% of all hip fractures (one hundredth of adult hip fractures). www.emedicine.com /sports/topic48.htm   (1065 words)
