Hearing Preservation Rates After Cochlear Implantation Using Soft Surgery Techniques
ABSTRACT Objectives To determine if hearing preservation rates after cochlear implantation varied over time with soft surgery techniques. Methods The hearing preservation rate over time in adult cochlear implant patients over 10 years was analyzed. The association between hearing preservation rate and sex, age, perioperative steroid dose, and type of ...

Antimicrobial potential of bioactive bone cements
Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) based bone cement is widely used to anchor artificial joints. In recent years, antibiotics have been incorporated in bone cements and administered systemically to either prevent or reduce the severity of infections ...

Monitoring of historical structural materials with computed tomography
Abstract Computed tomography (CT) is an excellent tool to solve certain engineering problems connected to material science (such as sulfate swelling, internal degradation due to freezing, and alkali silicate swelling) and to understand specific processes (frost peeling, acid action).

Abstract Reinforced concrete (RC) beams can be subjected to torsion, and failure due to torsion is brittle and poses a significant risk to occupants. Moreover, strengthening of existing RC beams in torsion may be required due to the upgrade of the structures or as part of structural rehabilitation.

Abstract In practice, reinforced concrete (RC) wall‐like columns often have openings to facilitate building services, which creates stress concentrations around the opening, resulting in the weakening of their load‐carrying capacity. This study proposes innovative strengthening methods using near‐surface mounted (NSM) incorporating steel materials to ...
