Heterogeneity in the growth of the axial and appendicular skeleton in boys : Implications for the pathogenesis of bone fragility in men
Men with spine fractures have reduced vertebral body (VB) volume and volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD). Men with hip fractures have reduced femoral neck (FN) volume and vBMD, site-specific deficits that may have their origins in growth. To describe the tempo of growth in regional bone size, bone mineral content (BMC), and vBMD, we measured bone length, periosteal and endocortical diameters, B
On exposure to anorexia nervosa, the temporal variation in axial and appendicular skeletal development predisposes to site-specific deficits in bone size and density : A cross-sectional study
Skeletal development is heterogeneous. Throughout growth, bone size is more maturationally advanced than the mineral being accrued within its periosteal envelope; before puberty, appendicular growth is more rapid than axial growth; during puberty, appendicular growth slows and axial growth accelerates. We studied women with differing age of onset of anorexia nervosa to determine whether this tempo
Bone size and volumetric density in women with anorexia nervosa receiving estrogen replacement therapy and in women recovered from anorexia nervosa
Anorexia nervosa is associated with bone loss during adulthood, but may also delay skeletal growth and mineral accrual during growth. We asked the following questions. 1) Is anorexia nervosa associated with reduced bone size and reduced volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD)? 2) Is estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) or recovery from anorexia nervosa associated with normal bone size and vBMD? Using
Bone mass and density of the head
Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry in the upper half of the skull, in 324 residents (178 women and 146 men, age-range 20-87 years) in the city of Malmo, Sweden. Since muscular activity influences the skeleton we found it was of interest to compare one region influenced by physical load with one virtually unaffected by physical stress. The skull may be assum
Can high physical activity give increased bone mass in various parts of the skeleton?

Very long-term survival and late sudden cardiac death in cardiac resynchronization therapy patients
AIMS: The very long-term outcome of patients who survive the first few years after receiving cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has not been well described thus far. We aimed to provide long-term outcomes, especially with regard to the occurrence of sudden cardiac death (SCD), in CRT patients without (CRT-P) and with defibrillator (CRT-D).METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 1775 patients, with is
Does comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) in an outpatient care setting affect the causes of death and the quality of palliative care? A subanalysis of the age-FIT study
Purpose: The purposes of this study were to retrospectively study whether comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) given to community-dwelling old patients with high health care usage has effects regarding: (1) the cause of death and (2) the quality of the provided palliative care when compared to patients without CGA-based care. Method: This study includes secondary data from a randomised control
Influence of extensive green roofs to the local microclimate: cooling assessment for a social housing project in the south of Brazil
This study analyses the influence of green roofs in different heights of the urban canopy layer: from the pedestrian level, up to 1m above the rooftop, in a social housing project in the South of Brazil. In order to quantify the cooling contribution of green roofs to the local microclimate, the housing project was simulated with ENVI-met 4.0 in the summer season. The variables used to assess the g
Coping facilitated troponin T increases and hypo-responsivity in the copeptin-HPA-axis during acute mental stress in a Black cohort : The SABPA study
BACKGROUND: Defensive coping (DefS) was associated with a vulnerable cardiovascular profile in Blacks. The copeptin/vasopressin system is a manifestation of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal-axis activity and may act as an acute compensatory mechanism when there is a disruption in volume-loading homeostasis, i.e. when cardiac stress is evident. Whether DefS will influence associations between copepti

The publication (originally an M.A. thesis at the Catholic University of Lublin) analyzes and interprets the imagery of the mosaics covering the floor of the northern aula of the paleochristian basilica. The latter was uncovered at the beginning of the 20th century under the Patriarchal Basilica of Aquileia. The iconography of animals depicted on the mosaics is unparalleled and has been a subject

Integration of vacuum and non-condensable sweep gas pervaporation to recover organic compounds from wastewater
IntroductionWithin the concept of waste water treatment the opportunity of integrating pervaporation has been widely recognised. Applying pervaporation, generally two different process designs can be applied – vacuum and sweep gas pervaporation. Previous research focused primarily exclusive on one of this process designs. In this study the benchmarks of vacuum and sweep gas pervaporation are defin
Mass transport in hydrophobic pervaporation: A model design tool kit based on the resistance-in-series model
Over the years several models have been developed to describe hydrophobic pervaporation. The different approaches can be generally classified as process-orientated or membrane-orientated. Among these models the resistance-in-series model (RSM) has a unique position since it combines process conditions with membrane parameters. The aim of this work is to demonstrate the extension of the RSM to cove
Pervaporation-based hybrid processes: Technical and economic aspects in treating phenolic wastewater
In this paper the feasibility of combining pervaporation with conventional processes such as adsorption and steam stripping in a hybrid process to recover phenol from waste water is analysed taking technical and economical aspects into account. Compared to stand alone units it is found that hybrid processes based on pervaporation and conventional units can be an economic alternative for the meetin
An engineering approach to mass transfer performance for hollow fibre modules with shell-side axial feed flow
An generalised engineering approach based on the analogy between mass and heat transfer is proposed to benchmark the shell-side mass transfer coefficient for axial flow in hollow fibre modules from low to moderate packing densities. The trends obtained by this approach are similar to those of correlations found in the literature and differences between the approaches are discussed. Furthermore, ef
Pervaporation of aqueous ternary systems in biotechnology - Simulation of the pervaporation processes
The resistance-in-series model, used to describe the mass transfer through a membrane in pervaporation for binary systems, has been extended to include ternary and multi-component mixtures of different organic and inorganic compounds in aqueous solutions. The new model was used in a simulation including the membrane characteristics and the geometry of the pervaporation. Thus, the influence of proc
