The ability to predict the behavior of point defects in metals, particularly interstitial defects, is central to accurate modeling of the microstructural evolution in environments with high radiation fluxes. Existing interatomic potentials of embedded atom method type predict disparate stable interstitial defect configurations in vanadium. This is not surprising since accurate first-principles ...

The reported prevalence of interstitial lung disease in patients with rheumatoid arthritis has varied from 10% to 50%, yet less than 5% of patients with arthritis develop severe fibrosing interstitial lung disease. This suggests that subclinical disease may not always presage progressive disease. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from patients with rheumatoid arthritis and either clinically evident ...

We analyzed central interstitial potential differences during multisite stimulation to assess the feasibility of using those recordings to measure cardiac microimpedances in multidimensional preparations. Because interstitial current injected and removed using electrodes with different proximities allows modulation of the portion of current crossing the membrane, we hypothesized that multisite ...

The cell cycle parameters of interstitial cells in Hydra attenuata have been determined. Interstitial cells were classified according to cluster size in which they occur (i, 2,4, 8 or 16 cells) and morphology using maceration preparations and histological sections. The lengths of G,, S, Ga and M were determined by standard methods of cell cycle analysis using pulsechase and continuous labelling...

The clinical and pathological findings are reviewed in ten cases where renal biopsy showed abnormalities predominantly within the interstitium. In six the nephritis was considered to be drug-induced; in two the aetiology was slightly obscure but the most likely diagnosis was considered to be sarcoidosis. Of the remaining two cases one was chronic pyelonephritis and the other polyarteritis nodos...

Bacterial toxins can produce a pneumonia similar to that caused by viruses, and the presence of a toxin-producing bacterium in the lungs may account for some of the interstitial bronchopneumonias observed in diseases other than those caused by viruses.

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a comprehensive term referring to a group of lung diseases affecting the interstitium of the lung. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is the most common idiopathic ILD, and nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) is the second most common. As the name suggests, NSIP is diagnosed after many other diseases are excluded. The main pathological finding in NSIP i...

Trapping of interstitial atoms by foreign substitutional atoms is a phenomenon that significantly influences the chemistry of the system as well as the diffusivity of the interstitial components. In their previous paper (Svoboda et al 2013 Modelling Simul. Mater. Sci. Eng. 21 065012), the present authors determined the trapping energy and the chemical diffusion coefficient of an interstitial co...

OBJECTIVE The colloid osmotic pressure (COP) of plasma and interstitial fluid play important roles in transvascular fluid exchange. COP values for monitoring fluid balance in healthy and sick children have not been established. This study set out to determine reference values of COP in healthy children. MATERIALS AND METHODS COP in plasma and interstitial fluid harvested from nylon wicks was ...
