Modelling stiffness of polymer/clay nanocomposites

open access: yes, 2007
Aligned nanoclay particles can be distributed randomly in a polymer matrix even at high volume fractions, but randomly oriented particles cannot be randomly distributed at high volume fractions.

How should we assess the mechanical properties of lower-limb prosthesis technology used in elite sport?: An initial investigation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Despite recent controversy, it is not yet formally recognised how lower-limb prosthesis should be assessed for their performance. To assist in this process, experiments are undertaken to investigate the linearity, stiffness and assessment of feet based ...

Treatment of Neglected Elbow Dislocation with Secondary Heterotopic Ossification

open access: yesDiseases
A traumatic elbow dislocation that remains unreduced for more than three weeks is considered a neglected elbow dislocation. We report a case of a patient with a neglected elbow dislocation combined with a terrible triad injury (elbow dislocation with ...

Microvascular Damage Is Associated With Carotid Wall Structural Changes in Systemic Sclerosis: A Capillaroscopy and Ultrasound‐Based Observational Study

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is characterized by cardiovascular risk excess not fully explained by traditional factors. Whether the severity of microvascular damage correlates with structural subclinical atherosclerosis remains unclear. We investigated the relationship between nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC) abnormalities and carotid ...

Anti-endothelial cell antibodies in pathogenesis of vasculitis

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology
Vasculitis is a group of syndromes characterized by inflammation, presence of autoantibodies and endothelial cells (ECs) damage, which lead to stenosis or occlusion of the vascular lumen. Anti-endothelial cell antibodies (AECAs) are a heterogeneous group

Positive Affect Is Associated With Better Physical Function in Early Rheumatoid Arthritis

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective This study examined the association between positive affect and physical function in individuals with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods We analyzed baseline data from 129 adults with early RA (persistent joint symptoms for ≤24 months) and active disease enrolled in the Central Pain in RA 2 (CPIRA‐2) study.

P5.19 STIFF ARTERIES, STIFF HEARTS?

open access: yesArtery Research, 2013
Objectives: To examine the relationship between arterial stiffness and diastolic function in healthy normotensive subjects. Methods: For this study, 43 male (40±10 years) and 64 female (40±9 years) subjects were recruited. All were lifelong non-smokers, normolipidaemic, normoglycaemic and had normal 24-hour blood pressure responses (SBP\DBP <140\90).

Development of Patient‐Reported Outcome Measures for Early Systemic Sclerosis Across Disease Subtypes

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective Existing patient‐reported outcome (PRO) measures for systemic sclerosis (SSc) have important limitations, including inadequate coverage of early disease and limited inclusion of diffuse cutaneous (dcSSc) and limited cutaneous (lcSSc) subtypes.

Nonlinear deformation and stability of geometrically exact elastic arches

open access: yesИнженерно-строительный журнал, 2019
In the present paper a plane round double-hinged arch under the potential dead load is investigated. To describe the stress-strain state and the equilibrium stability the geometrically exact theory is used. According to this theory every point of the bar

The Content and Reporting Completeness of Physical Therapist–Led Interventions for Glenohumeral Osteoarthritis: A Systematic Review

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective This study synthesized the content and reporting completeness of published physical therapist–led interventions for glenohumeral osteoarthritis (GHOA). Methods This systematic review undertook electronic database searches in PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane, CINAHL, and PEDro (until June 2025) for any peer‐reviewed articles or studies describing ...
