Although much has been learned about the complication of fatigue during breast cancer treatment, the possibility that there are differences across treatment modalities in breast cancer patients' experience of fatigue has not yet been established. In this study, fatigue was assessed in 134 women receiving chemotherapy and radiotherapy or radiotherapy only for early stage breast cancer. Compariso...

An evaluation model of aluminum alloy welded joint low-cycle fatigue data based on information entropy is proposed. Through calculating and analyzing the information entropy of decision attributes, quantitative contribution of stress concentration, plate thickness, and loading mode to the fatigue destruction are researched. Results reveal that the total information entropy of the fatigue data b...

The purpose of the study was to investigate the modulatory effect of changes of subthalamic nucleus (STN) activity on the development of central fatigue during exhausting exercise, and reveal the possible mechanism that might affect STN activity from the perspective of neurotransmitters. Rats were randomly divided into electrophysiology and microdialysis study groups. For electrophysiological s...

the turbulent social, political and cultural situation in europe (and especially germany) in the early twentieth century led young heidegger to the question “what is the role and responsibility of the intellectual in society?” he maintained, in this regard, an important role on his own personal religious education, convictions and interests, because he believed that by creating interaction betw...

The onset of cognitive fatigue is associated with a period of transient, subconscious decrease in maximal cognitive ability, typically influencing decision making. The ability to visually detect this early stage of fatigue can help prevent numerous workplace hazards where top cognitive performance is of utmost importance. In this work, we developed a camera-based system that utilizes visual sym...

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) results from autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing beta cells and is characterised by the presence of insulitis and &and beta-cell autoantibodies. Up to one third of patients develop an autoimmune polyglandular syndrome. Fifteen to 30% of T1DM subjects have autoimmune thyroid disease (Hashimoto's or Graves' disease), 5 to 10% are diagnosed with autoimmune g...

OBJECTIVE Fatigue is prevalent and disabling in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Surprisingly, the long-term course of fatigue is studied seldom and it is unclear to what extent it is influenced by inflammation. This study aimed to determine the course of fatigue during 8 years follow-up, its association with the severity of inflammation and the effect of improved treatment strategies. METHODS 626 ...

Total Hip Replacement is a method of prosthetic reconstruction of the acetabulum and proximal femur following hip joint destruction. Prosthetic fractures have been reported after primary surgery ; with majority of them at the prosthetic stem. Few had fracture through neck of prosthetic stem. Here, we report a rare case of fracture neck of prosthetic stem within 10 year of implantation in a pati...

The reliability and efficiency of pumps, like any machines mechanisms, is determined by a number factors, including their operating conditions the ability to adapt changing conditions. This article devoted development scientific foundations for controlling vibration hydrodynamic origin in centrifugal pumps. failure pump due fatigue rolling bearing does not occur suddenly instantly. First, some ...

The construction and practical use of complexes mechanical reliability models creates real prerequisites for the transition to resource design assembly units aggregates mobile machines. Therefore, article solves tasks building inverted stochastic models, which provide possibility joint statistical analysis heterogeneous information about in cases types destruction typical machine elements: duri...
