“…In present study, all the nutrient foramina were on the posterior surface and commonly located midway between the interosseous border and soleal line. Gupta RK and Kumari GA [19], have reported that there was no secondary nutrient foramina in tibia. Patel SM et al [18] has reported occurren- foramina to be located in the middle third of the fibula.…”

“…(Table 4, Figure 4, 5, 6). 8,9,14,15 This shows that length of femur does not differ according to regions and stays almost the same in different populations. On observation, all foramen in present study were directed upwards which was in accordance with those found in other studies.…”

“…4 Information is useful for surgical procedures like joint replacement, fracture repair, bone grafting, vascularised bone microsurgery, peripheral vascular disease, long bone growth, non-unions, transplantation and resection techniques, intramedullary nailing, plating as well as in medicolegal cases. 9 Although an extensive array of studies has been conducted regarding morphology of nutrient foramen of upper and lower limb long bones, but there is insufficient regional data in North Indian population. The aim of this study is to provide referring data that will help in set up and planning of operative methodologies.…”

Background: Nutrient foramen of long bones defines the extent of bone vascularisation. Information regarding nutrient foramen is necessary to conserve circulation during orthopaedic and surgical procedures. The present study was conducted to examine the position, number and calibre of nutrient foramina in 100 dry femora belonging to North Indian population.Methods: The total length (TL) of each femur was measured by taking the measurement between the most proximal aspect of the head of the femur and the most distal aspect of the medial condyle. Number of nutrient foramina was determined by using a magnifying lens. Distance of nutrient foramen from upper end was measured. Direction and obliquity of nutrient foramina were noted. Position of nutrient foramina was determined in relation to length of femur and linea aspera. Caliber of nutrient foramen was measured using 18, 20, 22 and 24-gauge needles.Results: Length of femur on right side was 435.2 mm (Range 393-523 mm). Length of femur on left side was 437 mm (range 369-524). 78 (78%) femora had single nutrient foramen, 11 (11%) had double nutrient foramen and 11 (11%) had no nutrient foramen. All foramina were directed upwards. Maximum foramina were located in middle third of femur (84%) followed by upper third of femur (8%). Most common location was on the intermediate area between two lips of linea aspera (42%) followed closely by medial lip of linea aspera (36%).Conclusions: This study has provided additional data on the subject which will help in resection, surgical procedures and transplantation techniques by orthopedician in North Indian population.

Electromagnetic angular momentum in quasi-static conditions

The correct definition of electromagnetic momentum in matter, either Abraham’s gA = (1/4πc) (E × H), or Minkowski’s gM = (1/4πc) (D × B) has been a theme of controversy for a century. Therefore, we can find those who favor one or the other of these proposals. We present here an alternative view, considering that both of the aforementioned equations are equivalent since they pertain to different balance equations derived from the macroscopic Maxwell equations. This is done through their application to a device proposed by Lai in 1980, and recovering his results. Advanced undergraduate and graduate students can find in this work an introduction to a controversial issue and an alternative point of view about it.
