The dogleg severity is one of the most important parameters in directional drilling. Improvement of these indicators actually means choosing the best conditions for the directional drilling in order to reach the target point. Selection of high levels of the dogleg severity actually means minimizing well trajectory, but on the other hand, increases fatigue in drill string, increases torque and d...

OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to assess the effectiveness of adalimumab as a treatment for fatigue in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS Fatigue was monitored in patients with RA who were already on an adalimumab treatment regimen. Fatigue, general well-being, comorbidities, and disease activity were measured at baseline and ~8, 16, and 24 weeks, thereafter. RESULTS...

introduction: this study investigated the fatigue and fracture modes of race and protaper rotary instruments. materials & methods: fatigue resistance was evaluated by rotating the files 30 ° or 60 ° and with 2 or 5mm radius of curvature. race taper 06 size 25 and protaper f1 files (n=40) were used. the number of rotations to failure was analyzed by two-way anova and independent sample     t-tes...

OBJECTIVE To provide a multidimensional characterization of fatigue in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). DESIGN Cross-sectional design. Fifty patients with clinically definite MS were compared on the dimensions of fatigue with 51 patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and 53 healthy subjects. RESULTS Fourty-six percent of the patients with MS reported fatigue to be present at lea...

BACKGROUNDS/AIMS Fatigue is common in chronic hepatitis and end-stage liver disease. However, little is known about fatigue after liver transplantation (LT). We therefore evaluated the prevalence, severity, and related factors of fatigue after LT. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed adult recipients who responded to our survey at outpatient clinics between April and May 2013. Fatigue and its ...

The majority of the patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) experience fatigue. Some observations indicate that fatigue and related manifestations concomitant with MS could be associated with an intracellular mild thiamine deficiency. We recruited 15 patients with MS who also experience fatigue and assessed the severity of the fatigue using the Fatigue Severity Scale. Although blood thiamine and ...

BACKGROUND Fatigue affects 33-77% of stroke survivors. There is no consensus concerning risk factors for fatigue post-stroke, perhaps reflecting the multifaceted nature of fatigue. We characterized post-stroke fatigue using the Fatigue Impact Scale (FIS), a validated questionnaire capturing physical, cognitive, and psychosocial aspects of fatigue. METHODS The Stroke Outcomes Study (SOS) prosp...

The aim of this study was to examine the relationships between personality factors and the symptomatology of fatigue among people with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), and compare them to people from the general population. Seventy-seven CFS patients (47 women, 30 men) were compared with 72 healthy individuals (44 women, 28 men) to investigate whether personality factors are related to the sympt...
