Fourteen patients with a previous lumbosacral fusion underwent neural decompression and of degenerated adjacent motion segment. The most common level was L3–L4, there an average 3.2 (range 1–7) surgical procedures. interval from the first until operative intervention on segment 11.5 years 3–29 years). Five had uninstrumented fusion, which only one progressed to arthrodesis. Three these five pseudarthrodsis after fusion—and remaining nine patients—had fusions instrumentation. Ten twelve...
Increased nutrient mobilization by human activities represents one of the greatest threats to global ecosystems, but its effects on ecosystem productivity can differ depending food web structure. When this structure facilitates efficient energy transfers higher trophic levels, evidence from previous large-scale enrichments suggests that nutrients stimulate production multiple levels. Here we report results a 5-year continuous enrichment forested stream increased primary consumer production,...
Rationale: The presence of inflammatory cells on bronchoalveolar lavage is often used to predict disease activity and the need for therapy in systemic sclerosis–associated interstitial lung disease.Objectives: To evaluate whether cellularity identifies distinct subsets and/or predicts cyclophosphamide responsiveness.Methods: Patients underwent baseline high-resolution computed tomography as part a randomized placebo-controlled trial versus placebo (Scleroderma Lung Study) determine effect...
To assess the reliability and minimal clinically important differences (MCID) for FVC% predicted in Scleroderma Lung Study I II.
Data from inhalation studies in which AF/HAN rats were exposed to nine different types of asbestos dusts (in 13 separate experiments) are employed a statistical analysis determine if measure exposure (expressed as concentrations structures with defined sizes, shapes and mineralogy) can be identified that satisfactorily predicts the observed lung tumor or mesothelioma incidence experiments. Due limitations characterization original studies, new measures developed samples re‐generated analyzed...
Previous studies have shown that long thin asbestos fibres are more pathogenic in vivo and active vitro assays than short fibre samples. In the present study a amosite sample prepared from it were tested for ability to cause inflammation peritoneal cavity of mouse; UICC intermediate size an inert compact dust, TiO2, also tested. The dust samples inflammation, as judged by macrophage neutrophil recruitment, was ranked order greater TiO2. Ability therefore related proportion fibres. enhanced...
The application of 'omics tools to biologically based monitoring and surveillance aquatic environments shows considerable promise for complementing chemical in ecological risk assessments. However, few the current approaches offer ability sample ecologically relevant species (e.g., fish) a way that produces minimal impact on health organism(s) under study. In study we employ liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) assess potential skin mucus-based metabolomics minimally...
The River Continuum Concept (RCC) predicts that food webs (and, in particular, invertebrates) of rivers temperate, forested drainages should exhibit a longitudinal gradient from reliance on terrestrially derived organic matter (e.g., seasonally shed leaves) the headwaters to autochthonous sources algae) mid-orders, suspended material larger rivers. This prediction has been evaluated by comparisons macroinvertebrate communities terms functional feeding groups (FFGs), but such an approach...
Nanomaterials and their associated technologies hold promising opportunities for the development of new materials applications in a wide variety disciplines, including medicine, environmental remediation, waste treatment, energy conservation. However, current information regarding effects health risks with nanomaterials is limited sometimes contradictory. This article summarizes conclusions 2008 NATO workshop designed to evaluate wide-scale implications (e.g., benefits, risks, costs) use on...
