OBJECTIVE Limited literature exists on the sonographic appearance of the posterior tibialis tendon (PTT) and the peroneus brevis tendon (PBT) entheses. We determined the anatomic features and best imaging techniques of normal PTT and PBT using musculoskeletal ultrasound and compared these findings to subjects with inflammatory arthritis. METHODS Adult subjects were enrolled as healthy control...

The age-old spa concept is no less valuable today than it was during the time of Julius Caesar. Over the centuries, there have been many iterations of the concept of the spa. The most recent is the medical spa, which has become the fastest-growing segment of the spa industry. Many physicians including dermatologists wish to incorporate a medical spa into their practices. This article discusses ...

Branching quantifiers were first introduced by L. Henkin in his 1959 paper 'Some Remarks on Infinitely Long Formulas'. By 'branching quantifiers' Henkin meant a new, non-linearly structured quantifier-prefix whose discovery was triggered by the problem of interpreting infinitistic formulas of a certain form. 1 The branching (or partially-ordered) quantifier-prefix is, however, not essentially i...

Jaagsiekte retrovirus (JSRV) is an exogenous type D-related retrovirus specifically associated with a contagious lung cancer of sheep (sheep pulmonary adenomatosis; SPA). Recently, epithelial tumour cells in the lungs of SPA-affected sheep were identified as major sites of JSRV replication by immunological techniques and RT-PCR amplification of part of JSRV gag. JSRV was not detected outside th...

The decolourisation of the reactive Congo red dye from synthetic wastewater was studied using ElectroCoagulation (EC) technique. In an effort to increase removal efficiency, effects operating parameters including flow, inter electrode distance, conductivity, voltage, and Hydraulic Detention Time (HDT) were investigated. An electrochemical cell initially created with aluminum cathode anode. Foll...

Correspondence to Dr Marloes van Onna; [email protected] ABSTRACT Objectives: To evaluate the practice performance of general practitioners (GPs) and GP residents in recognising and referring patients suspected for having axial or peripheral spondyloarthritis (SpA), and to investigate the influence of education on this performance. Methods: GP (residents) were visited in two rounds by standard...

Electrocoagulation (EC) is electrochemical water and wastewater treatment technology which in its simplest form uses an electrochemical cell where a dc voltage is applied to the electrodes, usually made of Iron or Aluminum, and the electrolyte is the water or wastewater. Current theory of EC has not been able to explain all the phenomena associated with the process, among others the differences...

Considering the relation between synovial inflammation and global disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and the distinct but heterogeneous histology of spondyloarthropathy (SpA) synovitis, the present study analyzed whether histopathological features of synovium reflect specific phenotypes and/or global disease activity in SpA. Synovial biopsies obtained from 99 SpA and 86 RA patients w...

Background: Nowadays there is a problem related to wastewater handling which released from different activities. Electrocoagulation has been dominant treatment method for treatment. There are forms of electrocoagulation methods Nevertheless, was no comparison made the removal efficiency sono-alternate current (SAC), alternate (AC), sono-direct (SDC), and direct (DC) process. Methods: The compar...

This note describes an SPA-based side channel attack against a CRT implementation of an RSA function. In contrast with Novak’s attack [8], it concentrates on the initial modular reduction. With the help of lattice reduction it applies even to implementations which use a common randomising technique to ensure resistance against certain side channel attacks.
