Addressing Economic Insecurities Can Improve Patient‐Reported Outcomes in Lupus

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Economic insecurities, such as food, housing, transportation, and financial challenges, are modifiable risk factors and influence patient‐reported outcomes (PROs) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We examined the following: (1) associations between economic insecurities and PROs, and (2) the impact of screening and addressing economic ...

Experimental Study on Variable Amplitude Fatigue Performance of High-Strength Bolts in Steel Structure Flange Connections

open access: yesBuildings
Steel structure flange connections are extensively employed in structural nodes due to their superior mechanical properties. This study combines fatigue testing and theoretical methods to investigate the fatigue performance of high-strength bolts in ...

Fatigue crack behaviour : comparing three-point bend test and wedge splitting test data on vibrated concrete using Paris' law [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The fatigue behaviour of concrete has become more important for the design of constructions due to the desire to build slimmer structures, which are more sensitive to fatigue loading.

New Onset of Fibromyalgia After Exposure to a Combat Environment: A Longitudinal Cohort Study

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Traumatic life events are hypothesized to be triggers for the onset of fibromyalgia. Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a common comorbidity of fibromyalgia. However, limited prospective data are available on the development of fibromyalgia after exposure to high‐magnitude stress.

Fatigue Life Prediction for Stud Shear Connectors Based on a Machine Learning Model

open access: yesBuildings
The shear connector of a steel composite bridge is designed by predicting fatigue life using the fatigue strength curves (S-N curve) based on push-out test results.

Fatigue of Dental Implants: Facts and Fallacies

open access: yesDentistry Journal, 2016
Dental implants experience rare yet problematic mechanical failures such as fracture that are caused, most often, by (time-dependent) metal fatigue. This paper surveys basic evidence about fatigue failure, its identification and the implant’s fatigue ...

Risk estimation for LCF crack initiation

open access: yes, 2013
An accurate risk assessment for fatigue damage is of vital importance for the design and service of today's turbomachinery components. We present an approach for quantifying the probability of crack initiation due to surface driven low-cycle fatigue (LCF)

Evaluating a Pragmatic Strength Alternative for Frailty Measurement and Assessing Its Predictive Capacity Against Established Frailty Instruments in Rheumatoid Arthritis

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Frailty occurs prematurely in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and is associated with poor health outcomes. We compared the performance of four frailty instruments, including a pragmatic alternative measure using chair sit‐to‐stand (STS), and evaluated their abilities to predict poor health outcomes.
