Many researchers have investigated the mechanism behind the shear thickening behaviour, and various models have been proposed in the literature. Reynolds' work, in 1885, was one of the first researching and documenting the shear thickening behaviour of granular media and attaching the term dilatancy ...
What are the distinctive features of the workplace as a setting where exposure to chemical and physical hazards occurs? Muscles that are immobilized for long periods of time, as with a cast, frequently get smaller. What is the reason behind this? Wha...
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) significantly hinders arthroplasty success, which stands as the foremost cause of revisions in total knee arthroplasty and ranks third for revisions in total hip arthroplasty.Citation1,Citation2The incidence of PJI has gradually increased over time, ranging from 0.5%...
56 The mechanisms behind the hypercoagulable effects of crystalloids are unknown, but decreased activity of anticoagulatory factors may be of importance.116 These findings have been confirmed in 60 patients undergoing major abdominal surgery, randomized to receive i.v. fluids during or after the ...
“border”) of the silicone adhesive layer. One advantage of these window and/or border adhesive layers is that the fluid transport layer, which is present immediately behind the adhesive layer, will have increased surface contact with the wound site. It is believed that having more wound ...
Is there fluid in the middle ear? Why is the eardrum so sensitive? Does the middle ear contain fluid? Is the eustachian tube in the inner ear? Is the eustachian tube part of the inner ear? Does fluid behind the eardrum cause an ear infection? Why does chronic eustachian tube dysfunction...
Then the region was anesthetized by placing a wheal of lidocaine, using a small (25-gauge) needle. Intermittently the plunger was pulled back during the injection of the anesthetic to exclude intravascular placement. An 18-gauge needle was used directly behind the patella into the synovial cavity...
When investigating the reasons behind the tissue- and diagnosis-specific differences in the FA composition, the relative importance of the changes due to systemic PUFA distribution in the body vs. locally different PUFA metabol- ism is difficult to address. However, no tissues of any wild type ...
This may account for the temporary relief of back pain through adopting the knee-to-chest position, which provides compressive loading of the IVDs, thereby reducing disc volume [117]. In HDT, spinal elongation of ~2 cm was noted by day three and it remained at this level through the end ...
Despite these pivotal data, the exact molecular mechanisms behind ASC functions in the OA environment are poorly deciphered. In fact, the vast majority of in vitro studies aimed at fingerprinting the ASC secretory portfolio and its molecular effects, although of pivotal importance, have been performe...
