Tensile Strength and Failure Characteristics of Common Roof Truss Joints [PDF]
Timber joints have always been the weak link in timber construction. Although the load carrying capacity of the timber structure is greater than the applied load, the structural system can fail if the joints are weak.

Successful treatment of a guitarist with a finger joint injury using instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization: a case report [PDF]
Finger injuries are common and can greatly affect a musician's quality of life. A 55-year-old man, who had injured the proximal interphalangeal joint of the left index finger 6 months prior to any intervention, was treated with a manual therapy approach ...

Combining PTEN protein assessment and transcriptomic profiling of prostate tumors, we uncovered a network enriched in senescence and extracellular matrix (ECM) programs associated with PTEN loss and conserved in a mouse model. We show that PTEN‐deficient cells trigger paracrine remodeling of the surrounding stroma and this information could help ...

A new smart dynamic external fixator in the treatment of complex fractures of the proximal interphalangeal joint of the long fingers. [PDF]
Treatment of articular fractures of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint of the hand can be a hard challenge. Ideal treatment should include an anatomic reduction, stable fixation and the possibility of early finger mobilization to prevent joint ...

ATF4‐mediated stress response as a therapeutic vulnerability in chordoma
We screened 5 chordoma cell lines against 100+ inhibitors of epigenetic and metabolic pathways and kinases and identified halofuginone, a tRNA synthetase inhibitor. Mechanistically halofuginone induces an integrated stress response, with eIF2alpha phosphorylation, activation of ATF4 and its target genes CHOP, ASNS, INHBE leading to cell death ...

Digital testing device to measure the active range of motion of finger joints using an RGB-D camera
Range of motion (ROM) is an essential index for assessing the effectiveness of therapeutics in clinical practice. Rehabilitation therapists commonly use a goniometer to manually measure the ROM of finger joints.

A comparative study on water and dry coupling in photoacoustic tomography of the finger joints [PDF]
We present a systematical study on comparison between water and dry coupling in photoacoustic tomography of the human finger joints. Compared to the direct water immersion of the finger for water coupling, the dry coupling is realized through a ...
