This paper presents a smart energy community management approach which is capable of implementing P2P trading and managing household storage systems. A residential concept proposed consisting domestic users local pool, in are free to trade with the pool enjoy cheap renewable while avoiding installation new generation equipment. The could harvest surplus from resources, at same time it sells higher price than Feed-in-Tariff (FIT) but lower retail price. In order encourage participation...
Cartilaginous tissues, such as articular cartilage and intervertebral disc, are avascular tissues which rely on transport for cellular nutrition. Comprehensive knowledge of properties in is therefore necessary the understanding nutritional supply to cells. Furthermore, poor nutrition cartilaginous believed be a primary source tissue degeneration, may result osteoarthritis (OA) or disc degeneration. In this mini-review, we present an overview current status study behavior tissues. The...
The intervertebral disc (IVD) is avascular, receiving nutrition from surrounding vasculature. Theoretical modelling can supplement experimental results to understand IVD more clearly. A new, 3D finite element model of the was developed investigate effects endplate calcification and mechanical deformation on glucose distributions in IVD. included anatomical geometry, non-linear coupling cellular metabolism with pH oxygen concentration strain-dependent properties extracellular matrix....
IntroductionPersistent cough with sputum production is an important clinical trait in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We defined “frequent productive cough” based on 2 questions from the St George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) and sought to determine its occurrence associated outcomes patients physician-assigned asthma and/or COPD NOVELTY study.MethodsFrequent was as most or several days/week for past 3 months (scoring ≥3 both SGRQ questions). Relationships baseline...
In Brief Study Design. Investigation of the effect static compression and anisotropy on apparent diffusivity glucose in bovine annulus fibrosus (AF). Objective. To determine 2 directions (axial radial) AF under 3 levels compressive strain (0%, 10%, 20%). Summary Background Data. Knowledge small molecules is important for understanding nutritional supply intervertebral discs mechanisms disc degeneration. However, little known regarding strain-dependent anisotropic behavior discs. Methods....
To investigate the use of diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) in differentiating borderline from malignant epithelial ovarian tumors (MEOTs) and to correlate DKI parameters with Ki-67 expression.Fifty-two consecutive patients (17 tumors, BEOTs; 35 MEOTs) were prospectively evaluated using b values 0, 500, 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500 s/mm2 standard diffusion-weighted (DWI) 0 1000 a 1.5T magnetic resonance (MRI) unit. The (K) coefficient (D) apparent (ADC) DWI measured, compared, correlated expression...
Introduction: Inflammatory cytokines are closely associated with developing cardiac fibrosis. This research aimed to explore the significant role of IL-11 in atrial fibrosis progression and potential therapeutic targets. Methods: 207 AF patients 160 healthy subjects were included case-control study. Blood samples analyzed for level by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Angiotensin II (Ang II)-treated mouse models generated, expression mRNA protein was detected RT-qPCR Western blot....
Patients with mild asthma represent a substantial proportion of the population asthma, yet there are limited data on their true burden disease. We aimed to describe clinical and healthcare resource utilisation (HCRU) physician-assessed asthma.Patients were included from NOVEL observational longiTudinal studY (NOVELTY; NCT02760329), global, 3-year, real-world prospective study patients and/or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease community practice (specialised primary care). Diagnosis...
This study aimed to investigate the conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and diffusion-weighted (DWI) features of endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) including a preliminary investigation correlation between apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value Ki-67 expression.The clinical MRI data 15 patients with ESS confirmed by surgery pathology were analyzed retrospectively. The MR morphological features, signal intensity on DWI, ADC (n = 14), clinicopathological marker 13) evaluated.Of...
Osmotic pressure loading of articular cartilage has been customarily invoked to be equivalent mechanical loading. In the literature, this equivalence is defined by amount water squeezed from tissue, i.e. if content lost these two modes are same, it generally regarded that loadings equivalent. This assumption never proven. Using concept, in paper, we derived exact conditions under which an osmotic can considered a However, condition satisfying equivalency criterion, isotropic delivered via...
The intervertebral disk (IVD), characterized as a charged, hydrated soft tissue, is the largest avascular structure in body. Mechanical loading to results electromechanical transduction phenomenon well altered transport properties. Electrical conductivity material property of tissue depending on ion concentrations and diffusivities, which are turn functions composition structure. aim this study was investigate effect mechanical electrical behavior human IVD tissues. We hypothesized that...
The intervertebral disc (IVD) is the largest avascular structure in human body, consisting of nucleus pulposus (NP) surrounded by annulus fibrosus (AF), see Figure 1. Cellular nutrition occurs mainly diffusion from vascular network surrounding [1]. Poor nutritional supply believed to be one causes for degeneration [2–4]. Thus, it important investigate solute transport IVD understanding etiology degeneration.
Although the exact cause is not clear, low back pain has been attributed to degeneration of intervertebral disc (IVD) spine, which linked poor nutritional supply disc. Because IVD largest avascular structure in human body, cells must rely on diffusional transport for delivery important nutrients, such as oxygen and glucose, from surrounding vasculature. Thus, understanding factors affecting elucidating etiology related pain. While knowledge how mechanical strain affects these phenomena,...
Degeneration of the intervertebral disc (IVD) spine is a common condition which has been implicated as factor leading to low back pain. Poor nutritional supply believed be primary contributor IVD degeneration. Because largest avascular structure in body, cells must rely on transport important nutrients, such glucose and oxygen, from surrounding vasculature order maintain cell viability tissue. Due difficulty obtaining data vivo, theoretical modeling useful tool supplement experimental...
The intervertebral disc (IVD) is the largest cartilaginous structure in human body that contributes to flexibility and load support spine. To accomplish these functions, has a unique architecture consisting of centrally-located nucleus pulposus (NP) surrounded superiorly inferiorly by cartilage endplates peripherally annulus fibrosus (AF). Because avascular experiences mechanical loads, cells IVD tissues live complex physical environment. Knowledge mechanical, chemical electrical signals...
