Plastics and labor: The case of disposable medical plastics
Abstract Plastics are ubiquitous in the contemporary practice of medicine, where they are tied to notions of hygiene and quality of care. However, when plastics first infiltrated global medical practice, they did so because of considerations related to patient comfort and durability.

Interval identification of natural effects in the presence of outcome‐related unmeasured confounding
Abstract With reference to a binary outcome and a binary mediator, we derive identification bounds for natural effects under a reduced set of assumptions. Specifically, no assumptions about confounding are made that involve the outcome; we only assume no unobserved exposure‐mediator confounding as well as a pair of conditions termed Partially Constant ...

Natural progression of tarsal osteochondrosis in Standardbred pacers and trotters
Abstract Objective To determine the natural progression of tarsal osteochondrosis (OC) in a cohort of Standardbred foals and assess the impact of gait preference (trotting vs. pacing). Study design Longitudinal observational cohort study. Animals Client‐owned Standardbred foals (n = 148).

Abstract Background Condylar stress fracture of the third metacarpal bone (MC3) is a common catastrophic injury in Thoroughbred racehorses and is associated with parasagittal groove (PSG) subchondral osteolysis. Standing computed tomography (sCT) imaging enables sensitive identification of this fatigue‐induced early subchondral bone injury (SBI), but ...

Ultrasonographic diagnosis of caudoproximal humeral stress fracture in thoroughbred racehorses
Abstract Background Humeral stress fractures in racehorses can progress to catastrophic fracture if unrecognised. Scintigraphy is the gold standard diagnostic technique but is limited by accessibility and cost. It was hypothesised that ultrasonography could be used to visualise caudoproximal humeral stress fractures. Objectives To determine the utility

Frequency Selection and Phase Locking during Aeroelastic Galloping [PDF]
This paper presents an analysis of the aeroelastic galloping of an elastically mounted square cross section in a free stream. The classic quasi-steady model [1] is used as a starting point.
