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

open access: yesCrystals, 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

open access: yesCritical 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.

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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
