It is well known that aluminium is today the most widely used metallic material besides steel. The mechanical characteristics of aluminium offer an increasing application field, especially where lightweight constructions are required. The demands for improved characteristics such as higher strength and greater durability are achieved by the development of new aluminium alloys. Continuous effort...

introduction: peripheral vascular disease (pvd) is a major cause of morbidity and is associated with coronary artery disease (cad). we aimed to perform lower limb perfusion scan (llps) in patients referred for myocardial perfusion imaging (mpi) and estimate prevalence of pvd in subgroups with normal and abnormal mpi results. we also compared quantitative indices of llps in patients with and wit...

Purpose: To describe a case of spontaneous closure macular microhole induced by an acute posterior vitreous detachment (PVD). Methods: Retrospective report and analysis patient data. Case Report: We present (PVD) microhole. In our patient, developed few weeks after PVD. The development hole secondarily to PVD is rare, there are reports closure. Reporting this important alert clinicians the pote...

INTRODUCTION Provoked vestibulodynia (PVD) is the most frequent subtype of vulvodynia. Women report negative consequences of PVD on their sexual and romantic relationships. Researchers have recently highlighted the importance of examining interpersonal factors such as intimacy, and of including both women and their partners in study designs. AIM The aim of this study was to investigate sexual...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to identify the incidence of atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (RAS) in patients with peripheral vascular disease (PVD) and its relation to any known risk factors. SUBJECTS AND METHODS This prospective study was conducted on 212 patients who were subjected to peripheral angiography for symptoms of PVD over a 3-year period from 1995 to 1998 at the Mubara...

PURPOSE To determine if oral anticoagulation alters the association between vitreous hemorrhage (VH) and retinal tears in eyes with acute, posterior vitreous detachment (PVD). METHODS In this retrospective chart review, the complete records of consecutive patients with spontaneous, symptomatic acute PVD from a single referral-based practice were reviewed. The use of oral anticoagulants, the p...

When iron-starved, the Mn(II)-oxidizing bacteria Pseudomonas putida strains GB-1 and MnB1 produce pyoverdines (PVDGB-1 and PVDMnB1), siderophores that both influence iron uptake and inhibit manganese(II) oxidation by these strains. To explore the properties and genetics of a PVD that can affect manganese oxidation, LC-MS/MS, and various siderotyping techniques were used to identify the peptides...

INTRODUCTION Provoked vestibulodynia (PVD) is a prevalent vulvovaginal pain condition that is associated with sexual and relational consequences for women and their partners. Greater perceived quality of sexual communication has been associated with women's lower pain during intercourse and with couples' better sexual and relational well-being. Whether couples' collaborative (eg, expressing fee...
