The formation and propagation of cracks occur through irreversible dislocation movements at notches, material defects, grain boundaries. Since this process is partly thermally controlled, the resistance to low temperatures increases. This slows both fatigue initiation crack propagation. From recent experimental data, it can be seen that growth accelerated below transition temperature (FTT) corr...

Roughly one in two Americans has a chronic disease, and an estimated 1.7 million die each year from chronic illness.1 Most will have a chronic illness for a prolonged time before they die. Until 2005, lung cancer was the most common terminal diagnosis in hospices. Now, however, debility not otherwise specified (NOS) has surpassed lung cancer as the most common diagnosis (Table 1). Debility NOS ...

BACKGROUND This study aimed to assess the effects of the topical application of tamoxifen on wound healing of burned skin in Wistar rats by evaluating 3 healing characteristics: fibrotic tissue thickness (FTT), scar surface area (SSA), and angiogenesis in the healed scar tissue. METHODS Eighteen male Wistar rats were used in this study. A third-degree burn wound was made on the shaved animals...

Cystic Fibrosis (CF), characterized by abnormal transport of chloride and sodium ion across the epithelium, leads to thick, viscous secretions (1). The hallmark signs and symptoms of cystic fibrosis are salty tasting skin, poor growth and poor weight gain despite a normal food intake, accumulation of thick, sticky mucus, frequent chest infections, and coughing or shortness of breath. Males can ...

Huszonnégy éves hagyomány új köntösben: idén az Országos Fordító és Fordításhitelesítő Iroda (OFFI) ELTE Fordító- Tolmácsképző Tanszéke (ELTE FTT) külön időpontokban rendezték meg a hagyományos tavaszi fordítástudományi konferenciájukat.

We present a 22-day-old male born full term who presented with worsening non-projectile, non-bilious vomiting and failure to thrive (FTT) was admitted the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) for severe metabolic acidosis an elevated anion gap. Despite changing formula, patient continued have spit-ups after feeds since birth. Before this admission, his worsened every feed, which now forceful al...

Abstract We present a new rank-adaptive tensor method to compute the numerical solution of high-dimensional nonlinear PDEs. The combines functional train (FTT) series expansions, operator splitting time integration, and algorithm based on thresholding criterion that limits component PDE velocity vector normal FTT manifold. This yields scheme can add or remove modes adaptively from as integratio...

PURPOSE Infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) have high rates of mortality and long-term morbidity, including poor growth and failure to thrive. The aim of this study was to describe growth patterns during the first year of life in infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia in a non-ECMO cohort. METHODS Medical records of infants with CDH admitted to our center between January ...

The term failure to thrive (FTT) can imply very diVerent conditions, depending on the context. To a general paediatrician, it might conjure up a respectably clad child, sitting on an anxious mother’s lap as you study growth charts and test results in the hope of inspiration. To a social worker it might imply a wasted, miserable child found in a cold, dirty house. These diVering images reflect n...
