Vesico-acetabular cutaneous fistula is an uncommon but important postoperative complication of prosthetic hip surgery. We present a case and images involving a 70-year-old woman who presented with a chronically discharging gluteal wound, 5 years after a complex composite hip replacement.
Elastomers are a particularly important class of material, finding increasing utilization in applications such as piping and tubular components; pumps; valves and cyclones; where considerable resistance to low angle scouring erosion is critical. Assessment of elastomers at impingement angles >10° has been readily available using various slurry jet devices, however, there is a clear need for a suitable...
The multiplicity of harsh environments in mining, processing and transporting ore and related waste, cause severe wear, extremely high maintenance costs and lost production.Elevated temperature processing is one of the conditions that influence the performance of possible materials of construction. This takes the forms of reduced hardness and strength, deleterious changes in the structure and properties...
Synthesis of the vasodilator nitric oxide (NO) can be inhibited by the endogenous methylarginines l-NMMA and ADMA. ADMA is elevated in a number of cardiovascular disorders in which NO availability is reduced. Elimination of ADMA from the body occurs primarily by enzymatic breakdown through the action of DDAH, of which two isoforms exist, DDAH1 and DDAH2. In this study we have identified a core promoter...
