Accurate Estimation of Brittle Fracture Toughness Deterioration in Steel Structures Subjected to Large Complicated Prestrains

Crystals, 2020
Studies have suggested that brittle fractures occur in steel because microcracks in the brittle layer at grain boundaries propagate as a result of the increase in piled-up dislocations. Therefore, prestraining can approach the limits of a material, which

THE STRESS RESPONSE OF CRITICAL ILLNESS

Critical Care Clinics, 1999
The integrated stress response to tissue trauma is crucial for the maintenance of homeostasis. An exaggerated or prolonged response may be detrimental in compromised patients. Knowledge of the involved afferent pathways will suggest therapeutic interventions that may modulate the intensity of the stress response.

Gender Minority Stress: A Critical Review [PDF]

Journal of Homosexuality, 2019
Past studies that compare cisgender to transgender (or trans) and gender diverse people have found a higher prevalence of mental health problems among the latter groups. This article uses Testa's gender minority stress framework, which is an expansion of minority stress theory, to assess minority stressors that are specific to the experiences of trans ...

“I’ve kept going” – a multisite repeated cross-sectional study of healthcare workers’ pride in personal performance during the COVID-19 pandemic

BMC Health Services Research, 2023
Background For healthcare workers, working through a pandemic may include both challenges, such as coping with increased demands and a lack of control, and rewards, such as experiencing a sense of achievement and meaningfulness. In this study, we explore

Determination of the Critical Stress Associated with Dynamic Phase Transformation in Steels by Means of Free Energy Method

Metals, 2018
The double differentiation method overestimates the critical stress associated with the initiation of dynamic transformation (DT) because significant amounts of the dynamic phase must be present in order for its effect on the work hardening rate to be ...

Elevated plasma Galectin-3 is associated with major adverse kidney events and death after ICU admission

Critical Care, 2022
Background Galectin-3 (Gal-3) is a proinflammatory and profibrotic protein especially overexpressed after Acute Kidney Injury (AKI). The early renal prognostic value of Gal-3 after AKI in critically ill patients remains unexplored.

Role of Damage-Associated Molecular Patterns in Septic Acute Kidney Injury, From Injury to Recovery

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
Damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) are a group of immunostimulatory molecules, which take part in inflammatory response after tissue injury. Kidney-specific DAMPs include Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein, crystals, and uromodulin, released by tubular

Comparison of a short versus long-course antibiotic therapy for ventilator-associated pneumonia: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trialsResearch in context

EClinicalMedicine, 2023
Summary: Background: For ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), the safety of short-course versus long-course antibiotic therapy is still debated, especially regarding documented VAP due to non-fermenting Gram-negative bacilli (NF-GNB).

Seismic attenuation and stress on the San Andreas Fault at Parkfield: are we critical yet?

Frontiers in Earth Science
The Parkfield transitional segment of the San Andreas Fault (SAF) is characterized by the production of frequent quasi-periodical M6 events that break the very same asperity.
