Background: Arthrogryposis Multiplex congenita is a
rare disorder, characterized by multiple joint deformities
i.e. multiple congenital contractures, with shapelessly
cylindrical limbs and absent skin creases.
Club foot can be the only obvious deformity of this
widespread disorder.
Objective: To assess the most frequent recurrent
deformity after extensive soft-tissue release operations for
arthrogrypotic club foot and its appropriate treatment
regarding combined tendon transfer and bony operations.
Methods: A retrospective study of 14 patients with
arthrogrypotic club foot (28 feet), had been operated on by
multiple soft tissue and bony operations and followed in a
period between January (1993) till February (1999).
Both clinical assessment including goniometer use to
measure the recurrent deformity, and radiological
assessment, was used in this study.
Results: In this series, 4 patients (7 feet) had recurrent
deformity, 3 patients
(5 feet) out of these 4 had recurrent forefoot adduction, 2
of them had bilateral affection. The 4th patient had
bilateral recurrent varus heel.
Conclusion: The main problem in arthrogrypotic club
foot is the liability for recurrence. The most frequent
recurrent deformity was forefoot adduction. Combined
tendon transfer and bony operations can correct the
deformity once performed at the same cession forefoot
adduction. All required 2nd operation, in the 1st 3 patient
combined Evan’s (calcaneocuboid wedge-excision) and
tibialis anterior transfer operations were performed.
Talectomy was performed on one foot in the 4th patient,
combined with capsulectomy of the calcaneocuboid joint,
while triple arthrodesis don on the other foot
The complexes of para-chloranil as electron acceptor and the anions of amide, azide and cyanide as electron donors in aqueous ethanol as a solvent, were studied spectrophotometrically . The reactions lead to the formation of charge transfer complexes. The CT complexes were stable in excess acceptor concentration, while they were underwent another transformations in excess donors concentrations. Stoichiometries were determined, the molecular ratio was determined by continuous variation method (Job method) and is was 1:1 (donor: acceptor). The maximum wavelength (λ max.), the energy (hυCT), ionization potential (Ip) and activation energy (w ) of excited state f

Slip conditions for the concentration and heat transfer are considered. We use the conditions on the fluid, namely infinite wavelength and low - Reynolds number to simplify the governed equations that described - motion flow, energy and concentration. These equations ofroblem are solved by the perturbation technique and restricted the number of Bingham to a small value to find the final expression of the stream function. The Bingham number, Brinkman number, Soret number, Dufour number, temperature, Hartman number and other parameters are teste

Experimental and numerical studies have been conducted for the effect of injected air bubbles on the heat transfer coefficient through the water flow in a vertical pipe under the influence of uniform heat flux. The investigated parameters were water flow rate of (10, 14 and 18) lit/min, air flow rate of (1.5, 3 and 4) lit/min for subjected heat fluxes of (27264, 36316 and 45398) W/m2. The energy, momentum and continuity equations were solved numerically to describe the motion of flow. Turbulence models k-ε was implemented. The mathematical model is using a CFD code Fluent (Ansys15). The water was used as continuous phase while the air was represented as dispersed. phase. The experimental work includes design, build and instrument a test
