BILATERAL TOTAL HIP AND UNILATERAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTIES IN A YOUNG ADULT WITH ARTHROPATHY-ASSOCIATED INTESTINAL EPITHELIAL DYSPLASIA (TUFTING ENTEROPATHY)

Intestinal epithelial dysplasia (tufting enteropathy) is an uncommon congenital disorder.Furthermore, its association with chronic inflammatory arthropathy is rarely documented in the literature.Low prevalence rates of 1 in 100,000 live births in Western Europe exist, with higher rates in North Africa and Middle Eastern countries.Malta, being a sma

Occupational exposure to indoor air moulds and the consequent development of dampness and mould hypersensitivity syndrome (DMHS) may cause lung damage; in most cases, this is not allergic asthma mediated by specific immunoglobulin E-class antibodies.Instead, it is often a hypersensitivity pneumonitis or bronchopneumonitis.In Finland, the current di

Abstract Background Shi Zheng (SZ, syndrome of dampness) is a major syndrome type in traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the ambiguity of its pathomechanism and the lack of blood diagnostic indicators have limited the understanding of the development of SZ.Purpose To explore the pathological mechanism of SZ and establish a symptom-centered diagnosi

Wind and solar energy play a pivotal role HEALTHY GRAPEFRUIT in deep decarbonization pathways for the future.However, energy scenario studies differ substantially in the contribution of these technologies, as the technology selection in models strongly depends on the choice of techno-economic parameters.In this article, we systematically compare th

The permeability of shale is extremely low.Therefore, the shale reservoir needs fracturing.The fracture network by fracturing can increase the permeability in a stimulated shale reservoir.To understand the permeability evolution in the stimulated shale reservoir, this LEAVE IN TREATMENT study measured the permeability of intact and fractured shale
