Regional Disparities and Determinants of Visual Impairment Among Diabetic Patients in Ethiopia. [PDF]

Health Sci Rep
ABSTRACT Background The increasing prevalence of diabetes in Ethiopia has led to a rising burden of its complications, particularly Visual Impairment (VI). This systematic review and meta‐analysis aimed to determine the pooled prevalence, identify associated risk factors, and evaluate geographic disparities of VI among diabetic patients in Ethiopia ...

The application of ultrasonic NDT techniques in tribology [PDF]

, 2005
The use of ultrasonic reflection is emerging as a technique for studying tribological contacts. Ultrasonic waves can be transmitted non-destructively through machine components and their behaviour at an interface describes the characteristics of that ...

Crack-Like Processes Governing the Onset of Frictional Slip

, 2006
We perform real-time measurements of the net contact area between two blocks of like material at the onset of frictional slip. We show that the process of interface detachment, which immediately precedes the inception of frictional sliding, is governed ...

Adhesive contact of rough brushes

Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2018
The adhesive contact between a rough brush-like structure and an elastic half-space is numerically simulated using the fast Fourier transform (FFT)-based boundary element method and the mesh-dependent detachment criterion of Pohrt and Popov.

Measuring Molecular Forces With Atomic Force Microscopy 1: Solvent Influence on Hydrophobic Interactions

Microscopy Research and Technique, EarlyView.
Atomic force microscopy enables precise evaluation of the magnitude and range of hydrophobic and van der Waals interactions. This primer presents a protocol for fluorocarbon functionalization of gold surfaces and examines how water: DMSO mixtures affect hydrophobic forces, with data interpreted through an extended van der Waals model.

Precision mRNA Delivery via Ultrasound‐Controlled Release Perfluorocarbon Emulsions: An Innovative Ultrasound Theranostic Strategy with 19F MRI Feasibility

Small, EarlyView.
A key challenge in advancing messenger RNA (mRNA) therapeutics in cardiovascular diseases lies in achieving controlled release at the precise site within the vasculature. This study presents the development of perfluorocarbon nanodroplets with exceptional theranostic potential, enabling real‐time tracking through ultrasound and fluorine‐19 (19F ...

Does a decision support tool designed to depict West Nile virus risk explain variation in ruffed grouse Bonasa umbellus use of managed forests?

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Infectious diseases are commonly cited as significant contributors to wildlife population declines. It is, therefore, important to investigate the extent to which tools designed to mitigate the effects of infectious diseases explain wildlife responses to habitat management.
