The inspection of various structures often detects a fatigue cracks developed during long service life. These fatigue cracks significantly reduce remaining fatigue life and fatigue strength. Influence of the initial fatigue cracks size in non-load-carrying fillet-welded one-sided transverse attachment joints on the remaining fatigue life and fatigue strength is considered in this paper. A compu...

background:   the  role of nutrition  in the  progression  of multiple  sclerosis (ms) and  related  complications  such  as fatigue  has been  reported by several studies.  the  aim of this  study  is the  assessment of nutritional  status  and  its relationship with fatigue in multiple sclerosis patients. methods:  this  is  a  cross-sectional study, in which  101 relapsing-remitting ms patie...

Results Statistical analysis concluded that fatigue was negatively correlated with IP10, IL12p70, ESR and IgG, but positively correlated with platelets and C4 (p-value <0.05, Benjamini-Hochberg correction). Moreover, most protein levels were significantly higher in patients compared to healthy controls (p-value <0.05). An observed pattern was apparent that protein levels of patients with high f...

introduction: repetitive strain injuries are one of the most prevalent problems in occupational diseases. repetition, vibration and bad postures of the extremities are physical risk factors related to work that can cause chronic musculoskeletal disorders. repetitive work on a computer with low level contraction requires the posture to be maintained for a long time, which can cause muscle fatigu...

Purpose: To determine the more effective ankle brace (lace-up or Aircast ankle brace) at providing dynamic postural control in volleyball players with unstable ankle under functional fatigue conditions. Methods: Subjects of this study participated in 3 separate testing sessions and did not use or used a different brace at each session i.e. no brace (NB), lace-up ankle brace (AB), and Airca...
