BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2014206365 DESCRIPTION A 17-year-old girl was referred to the colorectal surgery unit with a history of multiple hospital admissions due to recurrent abdominal pain, lower gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding and severe anaemia with haemoglobin reaching a low of 3 g/dL in one episode. Clinical ...

The developmental toxicity of two anaesthetics, 2-phenoxyethanol and clove oil, used in aquaculture was evaluated using the Frog Embryo Teratogenesis Assay: Xenopus (FETAX) and the results were compared to outcomes in fish. Xenopus laevis embryos were exposed to 50, 100, 300, 500, 700 and 1000 mg/l of 2-phenoxyethanol or 1, 5, 10, 20, 30 and 40 mg/l of clove oil. Values of 96 h LC50, 96 h EC50 ...

Quasi-static cyclic tests on reinforced concrete (RC) walls have shown that shear deformations can constitute a significant ratio of the total deformations when the wall is loaded beyond the elastic regime. For slender RC walls that form a stable flexural mechanism, the ratio of shear to flexural deformations remains approximately constant over the entire range of imposed displacement ductiliti...

This study presents experimental and numerical investigations to understand the response failure of hybrid RC continuous T-beams reinforced in flexure by both Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) bars steel at sagging hogging regions. Three were constructed experimentally studied discuss three parameters which are type reinforcement material, relation between reinforcement, moment redistribut...

Taking advantage of the concurrent stretching and bending property corrugated flexure hinges, a sinusoidal linkage was proposed applied for construction dual-axial mechanism with structural symmetry decoupled planar motion guidance. Castigliano’s second theorem employed to derive complete compliance basic unit, matrix-based modeling then find stiffness mechanism. Using established analytical mo...
