Accuracy of hydrogeological and geotechnical investigation in place shaft sinking is a key factor for selection method design the lining. The following work presents influence rising level accuracy geological data gathered area Silesian Coal Basin technical projects lining technology its sinking, which have been changing over years. initial project was repeatedly modified. Each modification eve...

OBJECTIVES Current methods of monitoring chronic synovitis in a single joint rely on clinical examination derived indices, such as the detection of synovial thickening. This study aimed to develop a reproducible method for quantifying the volume of synovial lining in chronic synovitis using contrast enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. METHODS The knees of 18 patients with chronic synovi...

BACKGROUND Initial investigations demonstrated a deficiency of glutathione (GSH) in the epithelial lining fluid (ELF) of HIV-seropositive patients. In a recent study, our laboratory was unable to document such a deficiency. The current study was performed in an attempt to reconcile those disparate findings. STUDY OBJECTIVES To determine if ELF GSH decreases over time in asymptomatic HIV-serop...

The extracellular lining of the lungs is reviewed. The pulmonary extracellular lining is a complex mixture of phospholipids, proteins and carbohydrates which is absolutely essential for the maintenance of normal pulmonary functions such as gas exchange. Without the lining the lungs would collapse. Alterations in the pulmonary extracellular lining may underlie some disease conditions induced by ...

background: excessive lumbar vertebrae translation and rotation in sagittal plane has been attributed as an associated factor of lumbar segmental instability (lsi) and low back pain (lbp). reduction of these abnormalities improves back pain. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of core stability exercise on the translation and rotation of lumbar vertebrae in sagittal plane in pat...

Analytical bedded-beam spring model is most commonly adopted in the tunnel engineering practice due to its simplicity and promising outputs. Despite many well documented literatures exist concerning about theories fundamentals of various methods, there a dearth information on modelling framework details are often overlooked process. The main aim this paper produce soft ground, for both direct i...

Immunohistochemical study showed selective localisation of human epidermal growth factor (hEGF) to the synovial lining layer. Although the synovial lining layer of the rheumatoid, osteoarthritic, and traumatic joints was hEGF positive, hEGF staining was especially dense at the rheumatoid synovial lining layer; the staining increasing linearly according to the degree of stratification of the lin...
