In this study, the tensile properties and fracture analysis of functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with carbene are investigated employing the molecular dynamics simulations. Tensile parameters, i.e., Young’s modulus, ultimate stress, failure strain, and fracture progress, are determined, and the effects of different attachment types, distributi...

SummaryGlucocorticoid use is a risk factor for osteoporosis and fractures. We studied whether women initiating glucocorticoid treatment also started anti-osteoporotic treatment, according to clinical guidelines. Women with versus without previous fracture were twice as likely to start anti-osteoporotic treatment within 1 year after initiating gluco...

SummaryAdvancing age, female sex, recent prior fracture and falls, and specific comorbidities and medications contribute to imminent (within 1–2 years) risk of fracture in Medicare enrollees. Clinician awareness of these risk factors and their dynamic nature may lead to improved osteoporosis care for elderly patients.PurposeThe burden of osteoporot...

BackgroundIn the general population, the trabecular bone score (TBS) represents the bone microarchitecture and predicts fracture risk independent of bone mineral density (BMD). A few studies reported that TBS is significantly reduced in dialysis patients. Chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) are accompanied by increased fractu...

PurposeWe analyzed the risk of fracture in prostate cancer (PC) survivors compared to that in the general population in South Korea and according to the primary treatment.MethodsFrom 2007 to 2013, a total of 41,733 PC survivors newly diagnosed with PC in South Korea were identified and matched to non-cancer controls. Cox proportional hazards regres...

SummaryWe present the achievements and difficulties of our pioneering FLS within the Spanish public health system over an 8-year period. Despite implementing consolidating measures at the unit, the addition of a support nurse, the establishment of a solid alliance with primary care, the involvement of primary care nurses, and starting initial presc...

Introduction/purposeTotal knee arthroplasty (TKA) in the setting of previous periarticular hardware increases resource utilization, readmissions, complications, and revision rates. Despite the frequency of intramedullary nail (IMN) fixation for tibial fractures, little guidance exists on the management of these patients and no series have reported ...

It is becoming widely recognized that a relationship exists between stress, stress heterogeneity, and the permeability of subsurface fractures and faults. We present an analysis of the Shunbei oil gas field, developed mainly in fractured carbonate, where active deformation has partitioned the reservoir into distinct structural and stress domains. T...

In the present work, simulations of mode I crack growth and plastic yielding at a crack tip in a plane strain crystal are considered. The theory of crystal plasticity is used and the analyses are made for small strains and rotations. The crack tip is considered as if it is inserted in a metallic grain (single crystal). Two types of crystals are sim...

Understanding working fluids flow and heat transfer in Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) is critically important for assessing production capabilities and heat extraction rates from hot dry rock (HDR) effectively. Water is a conventional working fluid of EGS; therefore, it is necessary to study water–rock coupling heat transfer within HDR fractures....
