Benzylamine (BA), dibenzylamine (DBA), and trihexylamine (THA) are investigated as thermal-runaway retardants (TRR) for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). In a LIB, TRR is packaged separately and released when internal shorting happens, so as to suppress exothermic reactions and slow down temperature increase. THA is identified as the most efficient TRR. Upon nail penetration, 4 wt % THA can reduce ...

Dislocation is a major complication of total hip arthroplasty (THA), whose frequency has been unaffected by improvements in surgical techniques and implants. The dislocation rate depends on multiple factors related to the patient, hip disease, and surgical procedure and is therefore also dependent on the surgeon. The many published studies on THA dislocation, its causes, and its treatment have ...

The effect of tetrahydro-9-aminoacridine (THA) and related compounds on ligand binding to the dissociative anesthetic (phencyclidine, PCP) receptor site was assessed using a rat brain homogenate assay. THA displaced the dissociative anesthetic ligand [3H]N-(1-[2-thienyl]cyclohexyl)3-4-piperidine [( 3H]TCP) binding with an IC50 of 26 microM. Other acridine derivatives displayed similar potency a...

The type of bearing material that should be used in revision surgery after the failure of ceramic-on-ceramic total hip arthroplasty (THA) remains controversial. In the case of ceramic fracture, the residual ceramic particles can cause consequent metallosis when metal implants are used for revision THA. On the other hand, in the case of THA failure without ceramic fracture, revision THA with a m...
