	eMedicine - Arytenoid Fixation : Article by Robert A Buckmire, MD
		For example, in joint fixation resulting from traumatic fracture or dislocation of the CA joint, expedient relocation of the displaced arytenoid appears to be the procedure of choice, similar to the treatment choice for a dislocated knee or shoulder.
		Concurrent external lateral fixation is then affected by passing 2 needles through the thyroid lamina to create a suture loop around the vocal fold under direct vision of the endoscopist.
		In CA fixation, the magnitude of posterior glottic enlargement with cordotomy is entirely independent of arytenoid position and mobility, unlike with the techniques designed to achieve vocal-fold lateralization.

	OCULAR FIXATION
		The diagnosis of impaired fixation suppression is made by observing the effect of asking the subject to fix his eyes upon a clearly visible target, upon any ongoing nystagmus.The most commonly used test procedure is one described by Albert (1974).
		The fixation index is the ratio of nystagmus peak slow-phase velocity with fixation to nystagmus intensity with fixation removed (e.g.
		Fixation suppression can also be easily calculate from rotatory chair tests by having the subject track a chair fixed laser projected on a wall.

	The Cure of Defective Eyesight By Treatment Without Glasses - www.Central-Fixation.com
		By central fixation is meant the ability of the eye to look directly at a point, and while doing so to see best with the centre of the fovea or the centre of the sight of the retina.
		Before central fixation and normal vision can be obtained, it is necessary to stop the twitching of the eyelids and the movements of the eyeball that result from the strain of eccentric fixation.
		Central fixation is obtained by eye training with the aid of the Snellen test card at twenty feet and by alternately practising central fixation with a dot or a fine point at twenty inches or nearer.

		In most cases of eccentric fixation, on the contrary, the eye quickly tires and its appearance, with that of the face, is expressive of effort or strain.
		Eccentric fixation is a symptom of strain and is relieved by any method that relieves strain, but in some cases a person is relieved just as soon as he is able to demonstrate the facts of central fixation.
		The highest degrees of eccentric fixation occur in the high degrees of myopia, and in these cases, since the sight is best at the near-point, a person is benefited by practicing seeing worse at this point.

	Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The direct availability of the fixed N to the host allows it to grow in environments that are low in N, and at the same time to cut losses from denitrification, volatilization and leaching, improving the sustainability of both agricultural and natural systems that involve such symbioses.
		The world’s population is projected to increase to 8.3 billion by 2025 (Mannion, 1998), with over 90% of that increase in developing countries.
		The contrast is evident in data presented by Van Kessel and Hartley (2000) and Andrade and Hungria (2001).

	Biological Nitrogen Fixation
		Nitrogen fixation rates from 75 to 300 kilograms of N per hectare per year (70 to 275 pounds of N per acre per year) are common in various combinations.
		Nitrogen fixation is characteristically higher in environments such as tropical soils, where such factors as substrate availability, temperature and moisture are more favorable to the maintenance and activity of a high bacterial population.

	Genetic Drift
		Where allele frequencies are asymmetrical, the chance of fixation for the common allele is higher than that for the rare allele.
		The x axis is the initial allele frequency, ranging from 0 to 1.0 When p =.5 (the middle of the curve) average time to fixation or loss is the highest, and it is 2.8 N generations.
		Finally, you can show this "time to fixation" in another way by graphing the distribution of population allele frequencies after various times, where different graphs show the trajectories of a set of populations with different initial allele frequencies.

	FIXATION and FIXATIVES © Woods and Ellis 2000
		Fixation is, therefore, the first step and the foundation in a sequence of events that culminates in the final examination of a tissue section.
		The living cell is fluid or in a semi-fluid state, whereas fixation produces coagulation of tissue proteins and constituents, a necessary event to prevent their loss or diffusion during tissue processing; the passage through hypertonic and hypotonic solutions during tissue processing would otherwise disrupt the cells.
		The use of heat for fixation in microbiology and for blood films is well known and the heating of formalin to temperatures of 60-70°C can be used for the rapid fixation of very urgent biopsy specimens, although the risk of tissue distortion is increased.

	Degenerative Changes Following Spinal Fixation in a Small Animal Model
		The horizontal linking bars used to create fixation were attached to the vertical bars by means of a bolt coursing through a hole in each vertical bar that was approximately 10 mm posterior to the spinous process (2 mm from the distal tip of the vertical bar).
		One reason for the lack of difference between control and fixation groups in these earlier time frames can be attributed to a relative reduction of degenerative findings in the subgroups of animals that had the fixation devices removed for varying periods.
		A direct relationship was found between duration of fixation and development of degenerative changes in the Z joints in the FNR animals (with 2 exceptions in the single 8-week fixation animal).

	Intermaxillary Fixation and Rigid Fixation - New York Presbyterian Hospital
		Intermaxillary fixation and rigid fixation are two methods of fixation, a procedure for stabilizing broken bones and allowing them to grow together in the proper position.
		The other, called rigid fixation, is a newer technique in which tiny screws or plates are attached directly onto the fractured sections of the jaw bone; it does not require physically binding the jaws shut.
		Rigid fixation is becoming the preferred fixation technique when possible, because it is so much less disruptive to a patient's quality of life during recovery.

	AEC Client Education Library - Upward Pateller Fixation
		Intermittent upward patellar fixation is a condition whereby the horse’s pelvic limb temporarily "locks" in extension.
		Therefore, it is important to assess the horse as a whole prior to determining the cause for upward patellar fixation.
		In subtle cases of upward patellar fixation where conformation is relatively good, increased exercise alone may result in resolution of the problem.

	Nitrogen Fixation by Legumes
		Within these nodules, nitrogen fixation is done by the bacteria, and the NH produced is absorbed by the plant.
		However, nitrogen fixation by legumes can be in the range of 25-75 pounds of nitrogen per acre per year in a natural ecosystem, and several hundred pounds in a cropping system.
		In a new field, the poor fixation is often attributed to the lack of native Rhizobium to nodulate the legume, but the cause may also be poor plant nutrition or other plant stresses that inhibit nitrogen fixation.

	FIXATION
		The subject of fixation and preservation is a major scientific topic in the methodology of microscopy and it deals with many aspects of the living state and the nature of the organisms to be fixed.
		Another manner of fixation is so-called 'chemical fixation.' Depending on the physiological status of the cells/tissues to be fixed, numerous chemical fixatives were defined in the past centuries and the techniques are still being improved.
		No fixation or staining has been performed prior to microscopy; it is therefore an in vivo study since the life processes of these organisms continue for a while until water evaporates and the material consequently dries.

	External Fixation Overview (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Whenever possible, external fixation is the preferred treatment for fractures since internal fixation damages the soft tissues and can compromise blood flow to the injured site.
		There are several methods of external fixation ranging from bracing and casting to placement of pins through bones distant from the fracture which are attached to external fixators.
		Planar fixation is performed by passing pins through one (unilateral) or both (bilateral) sides of a bone and connecting the pins to clamps and rods.
