Indian coasts have witnessed a number of tanker disasters in recent years and regular spillage near the refineries and Mahul creeks. Refinery effluents are the major the source of oil pollution. An increasing trend of petroleum hydrocarbon in various oceans and seas has attracted attention of researchers to extensively investigate the effects of crude oil and its constituents on marine organisms. The study deals with toxicological studies gauging short term and long term sub lethal chronic toxicity of dilutions of 10 percent Water soluble fractions (WSFs) stock of Persian Gulf and Bombay High Crude oil on common marine clams of Mumbai coast such as Gafrarium divaricatum and Dosinia fibula. The study describes the physiological responses of clams burrowing activity during long term exposure to Wsf enriched sediment and changing profile of biochemical parameters. Further investigation is to assess how such exposure may affect the energetic or growth i.e. scope for growth (SFG) as well as the utilization of body reserves (i.e. Oxygen to Nitrogen rate O:N ratio) in these species.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Ishango bone is a bone tool, dated to the Upper Paleolithic era. It is a dark brown length of bone, the fibula of a baboon, with a sharp piece of quartz affixed to one end, perhaps for engraving or writing. It was first thought to be a tally stick, as it has a series of tally marks carved in three columns running the length of the tool, but some scientists have suggested that the groupings of notches indicate a mathematical understanding that goes beyond counting. The Ishango bone was found in 1960 by Belgian Jean de Heinzelin de Braucourt while exploring what was then the Belgian Congo. It was discovered in the African area of Ishango, which was centered near the headwaters of the Nile River at Lake Edward (now on the border between modern-day Uganda and Congo). The bone was found among the remains of a small community that fished, gathered, and grew crops in this area of Africa. The small settlement had been buried in a volcanic eruption. The artifact was first estimated to have originated between 9,000 BC and 6,500 BC.

The present textbook gives an impressive account of the significance of fibulae for costumes, chronology and craftsmanship from the Bronze Age to the Viking period, but also for ethnic connections and archaeological links in the broadest sense. It caters for students' urgent need for a survey of the fibula as a central artefact but also presents an unrevised reprint of the comprehensive account of fibulae and costumes from volume 8 of the Reallexikon der Germanischen Altertumskunde.

Correctly choosing and executing the exposure needed for a given procedure is one of the orthopedic surgeon's most important tasks, and one that residents work hard to master. This covers all areas of orthopedic surgery, presenting exposures for hand & wrist, forearm, elbow, humerus, shoulder, pelvis, hip & acetabulum, femur, knee, tibia & fibula, foot & ankle, & spine.

Alessandria d'Egitto, I secolo d. C. Per il senatore Publio Aurelio Stazio la metropoli più importante dopo Roma, strategica terra di confine tra Oriente e Occidente, non è solo la città più bella del mondo ma lo scenario della missione segreta che deve compiere per conto dell'imperatore Claudio. Per assicurare un lungo periodo di pace all'Impero, Publio Aurelio deve giocare d'azzardo sul tavolo della diplomazia e negoziare con i Parti, imbattibili guerrieri da sempre nemici dei romani. Ma quando il senatore si ritira nella sua dimora nel delta del Nilo con l'intenzione di trovare ristoro dalle tensioni dell'alta diplomazia, ecco che tra i palmizi e i coccodrilli del giardino viene rinvenuto il cadavere di una fanciulla. Sul corpo martoriato brutalmente, una fibula denota la vittima come probabile adepta del culto di Bast, la Dea-Gatta. Nell'inquieta Alessandria, l'omicidio alimenta il rogo delle ostilità in un crescendo di omicidi e misteri. Chi è la spia che favorisce i nemici di Roma? Quale il legame tra i delitti e la missione segreta di Aurelio? Molti sono i sospettati e, a complicare la situazione, Aurelio viene abbandonato dal segretario Castore e distratto dal fascino di una donna ammaliante, Candida, l'eccentrica moglie del viceprefetto dell'Egitto. Combinando sapientemente ricostruzioni storiche accuratissime con l'uso di avanzate tecniche investigative - del tutto simili ai metodi della polizia scientifica di oggi - e muovendosi tra il cimitero dei gatti e il tempio del Dio-Coccodrillo, tra i papiri della Biblioteca e le schiere di ancelle dagli occhi bistrati, Danila Comastri Montanari dà vita a un romanzo d'investigazione dal ritmo serrato, drammatico, tra le cui pieghe l'irresistibile ironia dell'autrice suggerisce di leggere la storia antica come specchio impietoso dei nostri giorni.

Osteofibrous dysplasia is a rare, benign non-neoplastic condition with no known cause. It is considered a fibrovascular defect. Campanacci described this condition in two leg bones, the tibia and fibula, and coined the term. In 1942, however, Jaffe and Lichtenstein described the same condition under the name "nonosteogenic fibroma", so the condition is often known as Jaffe-Campanacci Syndrome. The syndrome's exact nature is under debate, with some authors suggesting that it may be a manifestation of neurofibromatosis.The tibia is the most commonly involved bone, accounting for 85% of cases.

This atlas deals with the standard technique used for reconstructing the mandible and the maxilla - the fibula flap. The reader will find useful information on all issues that are important in the surgical procedure, including the use of CAD-CAM technology (Computer Assisted Technology), bone synthesis and flap modelling. The editors draw on their 30 years of experience to provide a step-by-step description of this surgical procedure. With the help of numerous illustrations, the reader will learn the technical, functional and aesthetic developments since 1989 when this technique was first described.Plastic surgeons, otorhinolaryngologists and oral- and maxillofacial surgeons will find this book a valuable guide to the sophisticated principles of jaw reconstruction and how to apply them in their everyday practice.

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Bosworth fracture is a rare fracture of the distal fibula with an associated fixed posterior dislocation of the proximal fibular fragment which becomes trapped behind the posterior tibial tubercle. The injury is caused by severe external rotation of the ankle. The ankle remains externally rotated after the injury, making interpretation of X-rays difficult which can lead to misdiagnosis and incorrect treatment. The injury is most commonly treated by open reduction internal fixation as closed reduction is made difficult by the entrapment of the fibula behind the tibia.The entrapment of an intact fibula behind the tibia was described by Ashhurst and Bromer in 1922, who attributed the description of the mechanism of injury to Huguier's 1848 publication. The injury involving fibular fracture with posterior dislocation was described by David M. Bosworth in 1947.
