While analysis revealed that stakeholders considered at least one of the tools to be useful, it also exposed significant differences among the perceived usefulness of the various tools themselves. Using free-text responses, participants described the challenges faced when gathering information on horse training, management and behaviour.…[Read more]

Ultrasonic wavefield imaging (UWI) provides insightful spatial information about ultrasonic wave propagation in planar (2-D) space for nondestructive evaluation and structural health monitoring (NDE-SHM) applications. In all materials, the wavefronts of the incident and reflected waves propagate with unique patterns that may be represented by…[Read more]

Over the last three decades, there have been significant advancements in knee and hip replacement technology. The implants and the surgical technology we now have to aid in their implantation are advancing and improving functional outcomes and survivorship. Despite these advancements, there are still issues with patient satisfaction, functional…[Read more]

Overall, P. aeruginosa lung burden was 5.30 (range, 4.00 to 6.30), 4.04 (3.64 to 4.51), and 4.04 (3.05 to 4.88) log10CFU/g in the untreated, AEAT, and IEAT groups, respectively (P = 0.299), without histopathological differences (P = 0.556). In contrast, in tracheal secretions (P  less then  0.001) and BAL fluid (P = 0.002), bactericidal ef…[Read more]

Collected data indicate that AFM might serve as a diagnostic tool in the assessment of human brain tissue stiffness in the process of recognizing tumors.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a leading cause of death amongst infectious diseases. The poor response to antitubercular agents necessitates the long-term use of high drug doses, resulting in low…[Read more]
