In this preliminary study, the complexity of the corrosion phenomenon of post-tensioning strands in grouted anchorage assemblies was examined and both physicochemical and electrochemical key technical issues were identified. Measurements of oxygen reduction efficiency in high pH electrolytes were conducted to obtain polarization parameters to be used in modeling. The time evolution of electrica...

AIM The present study was conducted to evaluate the equine palmar tendon by ultrasonography (USG) in standing the position. MATERIALS AND METHODS USG of palmar tendons was performed in 40 adult horses using linear transducer having frequency of 10-18 MHz (e-soate, My Lab FIVE) and L52 linear array transducer (Titan, SonoSite) with frequencies ranging from 8 to 10 MHz. Palmar tendon was divide...

BACKGROUND A recent study from our laboratory has demonstrated improved range of motion in the toes of broiler chickens afflicted with pyogenic flexor tenosynovitis when treated with local antibiotic and corticosteroid injections, without surgical drainage. However, the use of corticosteroids as an adjunct treatment raised peer concern, as steroids are thought to have deleterious effects on ten...

Anomalies of Flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU) are uncommon and predominantly consist of abnormal insertion or extra tendinous bands. The presence of two separate bellies of FCU muscle with separate tendons has been termed as Digastric FCU. It is a very rare anomaly with only six previously reported cases and no report of clinical use of such anomalous muscle. We describe a case of anomalous FCU found...

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the impact of radiotherapy (RT) on supraspinatus, long head biceps and subscapularis tendons, shoulder subcutenous fat tissue. Methods: Patients diagnosed with breast cancer who received RT anterior chest wall axillary-supraclavicular region after breast-conserving surgery or mastectomy in our hospital. Overall, 56 (36 RT, 20 control group) patients w...

Punching shear is the most common failure mechanism of slabs that are supported directly on columns. The slab–column connection always vulnerable to critical punching shear; thus, it necessary investigate effect various parameters behavior flat slabs. This work presents an experimental study evaluate level prestressing force and layout strands in terms maximum load, deflection, stiffness, ducti...
