BackgroundRadiographic damage in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) includes erosions and joint space narrowing (JSN). Different mechanisms may underlie their development. The objective of this study was to evaluate predictors of these entities separately.MethodsConsecutive early RA patients (symptom duration ≤12 months) from a defined area (Malmö, Sweden) ...

Surgical mesh products made from polypropylene (PP) have been extensively used in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse and other conditions. Since the onset of the use of such implants, major complications have been reported. Mesh erosion, where neighbouring tissues are worn from the rubbing of mesh, occurs in a signi...

Namen magistrske naloge je bil preučiti vpliv podnebnih sprememb na erozivnost kamnin. Karte srednjega letnega sproščanja tal sem izdelala s pomočjo geografskega informacijskega sistema, na podlagi modelov, ki predvidevajo spreminjanje temperature in padavin do konca 21. stoletja. Za izračun srednjega letnega sproščanja tal sem pridobila podatke o ...

This study investigated a road failure on an erosion prone highway of Sagamu-Papalanto southwestern Nigeria. The mineralogical and chemical composition of the soils were analyzed using X-ray diffraction and X-ray fluorescence methods. The geotechnical properties of the soil such as grain size distribution, consistency limits test, specific gravity,...

The implications of land use change in small watersheds through the conversion of forests to agropastoral areas have altered the natural nutrient cycle, intensifying exports under freshwater ecosystems. This study aimed to investigate the land use effects on nutrient and sediment exports in two small watersheds in northeastern Brazil to understand ...

This present work aims to investigate the effect of processing time on the erosion resistance of 316 stainless steel and AISI H13 hot working tool steel treated by pack cementation. For this purpose, aluminum and titanium elements were simultaneously deposited on the surface of the two steels at 1050 °C for 4, 8 and 12 h using a pack mix containing...

Radial head arthroplasty is a common procedure in elbow surgery. It has been shown to be of benefit for the patients, but there also are relevant complications that should be prevented if possible. One significant complication is overlengthening of the radial head prosthesis. In overlengthening, the head of the prosthesis overextends the physiologi...

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of repolishing on the surface microhardness (SMH), color change (ΔE), and translucency parameter (TP) of previously in situ eroded computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) restorative materials and human enamel. Each of 8 volunteers wore an intraoral appliance containing 3 CAD/CAM restora...

This in situ/in vivo study aimed to evaluate the effects of erosion on the surface microhardness, substance loss, and surface roughness of CAD/CAM restorative materials and human enamel. This study used a 2-treatment (14 days each) crossover design with 8 healthy volunteers. Each volunteer wore an intraoral appliance containing 3 CAD/CAM restorativ...
