Articular cartilage healing and repair is one of the biggest clinical challenges in trauma orthopaedic medicine, leading to high economic loss due athletic impairment sport horses. Multipotent Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells are part novel therapeutic arsenal aimed at tissue regeneration restoring organ function. These release biomolecules factors culture media, producing so called conditioned medium, which have a pro-regenerative effect through paracrine mechanisms. Considering this, product...
Abstract The second generation of Eurocode 7 aims at covering ground, including both soil and rock. Current practice ground engineering forms the basis, aim is to include rock engineering, improving ease use, harmonization regulations, new developments. This paper deals with EN 1997 part 1 addressing general rules geotechnical design, connected 1990, basis structural parts 2 3 1997. design process from investigation verification limit states illustrated a focus on engineering. following...
Abstract The current Eurocode revision process is sought to improve 7 for application rock engineering, while including only techniques and procedures that are in widespread customary use. has exposed much about the of Eurocodes thereby offering hints as what material should be included next – tentatively suggested publication 2035. Crucially, ideas have developed how engineering practice may need develop embrace principles on which based. In particular, aspects determining properties...
Abstract The current first generation of Eurocodes is a suite ten European standards for the design buildings and civil engineering works, whose implementation started in 2010. EN 1990 sets basis structural design, with other dealing different materials specific aspects design. Geotechnical are covered by 1997 ”Geotechnical design“, usually called Eurocode 7. evolution 2012 main objectives their revision were to incorporate improvements that reflect state‐of‐the‐art needs market, improve...
Modelling a rock mass in an accurate and realistic way allows researchers to reduce the uncertainty associated with its characterisation reproduce intrinsic spatial variability heterogeneities present mass. However, there is often lack of structured methodology characterise heterogeneous masses using geotechnical information available from prospection phase. This paper presents characterization based on geostatistical simulation variables application scenario reduction technique aimed at...
Here, we describe a case of 5-year-old show-jumping stallion presented with severe lameness, swelling, and pain on palpation the left metacarpophalangeal joint (MCj). Diagnostic imaging revealed full partial-thickness articular defects over lateral condyle third metacarpus (MC3) dorsolateral aspect first phalanx (P1). After lesion’s arthroscopic curettage, patient was subjected to an innovative regenerative treatment consisting two intra-articular injections equine synovial membrane...
