Initial dislocation structure in annealed high-purity Mo single crystals and deformation substructure in a crystal subjected to 1% compression have been examined and studied using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques in order to investigate dislocation multiplication mechanisms in the early stage of plastic deformation. The initial dislocation density is in a range of 10 ∼ 10 cm, a...

Deformation and focused fluid flow within a mineralized system are critical in the genesis of hydrothermal ore deposits. Dilation and integrated fluid flux due to coupled deformation and fluid flow in simple strike–slip fault geometries were examined using finite difference analysis in three dimensions. A series of generic fault bend and fault jog geometries consistent with those seen in the we...

Chronic pelvic pain is a common debilitating condition affecting women and presents a major challenge to healthcare providers. Laparoscopy is the only test capable of diagnosing peritoneal endometriosis and adhesions. Gynaecologists have, therefore, seen it as an essential tool in the assessment of women with chronic pelvic pain. This article explores the role of surgery in the management of ch...

Active video game interventions typically provide children a single game that may become unappealing. A peripheral device (jOG) encourages step-powered gaming on multiple games. This trial evaluated the effect of jOG on children's objectively measured PA, body fat and self-reported behaviors. 42 of 58 eligible children (8-10 y) randomly assigned to an intervention (jOG) or control (CON) complet...

Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most common hospital acquired infection. The major associated cause is indwelling urinary catheters. Currently there are many types of catheters available. A variety of specialized urethral catheters have been designed to reduce the risk of infection. These include antiseptic impregnated catheters and antibiotic impregnated catheters. Other issue...

Results: Less number of infants with growth faltering (p=0.093) and acute gastroenteritis (p=0.135) while more infants crawled, longer period of lactational amenorrhea (p= 0.276) and higher mean maternal weight loss (p=0.152) observed in 6 months EBF group compared to the other two groups. No significant differences in mean serum iron concentration and mean haemoglobin concentration among the t...

Ultrasound has been in clinical use in the field of obstetrics since 1978. With advances in technology, there has been improvement in resolution, allowing for far better imaging of the fetus. This together with new developments in the field of screening for pregnancy disorders has lead to a change in the clinical application of ultrasound in the care of routine low risk pregnant women. Techniqu...

Introduction: As a result of national and international guidelines, in recent years treatment of endometrial carcinoma (EC) has become more centralised. In the UK this has led to the development of regional cancer networks, with sub-specialists gynaecological-oncologists leading treatment in regional centres. A tool in appropriate triage of patients to treatment at central or peripheral units i...
