Coronary Stent Strut Fractures: Classification, Prevalence and Clinical Associations

2021

Introduction. The frequency, characteristics and clinical implications of Strut fractures (SFs) remain incompletely understood. Methods and results. A total of 185 (160 patients) newer-generation drug-eluting stents (DES) were imaged. SFs were found in 21 DES (11.4%) and were classified in four patterns: one single stacked strut (41%)

The effect of cement fixation on initial micromotion of the femoral component in condylar knee replacement

1992

Four fresh, cadaveric specimens were fitted with total knee replacements and mounted on a knee joint loading and measuring rig. Femoral component micromotion in the sagittal plane was measured with a transducer during flexion and extension of the specimen. Various condylar designs were used without and with cement. Movement followed a characteristic curve pattern and was less with cement fixation particularly for bone of low trabecular strength as determined by bone sample tests for stiffness. Cement fixation appears to be superior to cementless fixation.

Differences in Accuracy and Radiation Dose in Placement of Iliosacral Screws: Comparison between 3D and 2D Fluoroscopy

2022

Percutaneous iliosacral screw fixation is a widely accepted method of stabilizing the posterior pelvic ring. Recently developed tools such as 3D-navigated fluoroscopy and computed navigation seem to prevent a surgeon from conducting screw misplacement. The study aimed to comparatively assess the introduction of sacroiliac screw placement using 2D and 3D fluoroscopy in terms of accuracy and radiation exposure. Iliosacral screws were introduced in 37 patients using 2D (group N1) and in 36 patients using 3D fluoroscopy (group N2) techniques. Overall, 61 and 56 screws were introduced in groups N1 and N2, respectively. Screw placement accuracy was assessed using postoperative computed tomography…

Perhe 1941-1944 pula-ajan mainoksissa

2015

Tiivistelmä – Abstract Tässä tutkielmassa tarkoituksena on tarkastella perheen kuvaamista pula ja sota-ajan mainoksissa. Ihmisiä kuvataan mainoksissa paljon ja samalla ne heijastavat oman kulttuurinsa ihanteita. Työn tarkoituksena onkin selvittää millainen oli 1941–1944 lukujen ihanteellinen perhe eli millainen perhe oli tavoittelemisen arvoinen. Jatkosota ja jo sitä edeltänyt pula-aika muuttivat suomalaisia perheitä suuresti. Sodan keskellä ihmisiltä vaadittiin aivan erilaisia ponnisteluita ja arkirutiineita kuin rauhan aikana. Miesten ollessa sotilaina rintamalla jäi kotirintaman tehtävän naisten tehtäviksi. Tämä jo itsessään muutti perheen rakennetta ja sen erijäsenten tehtäviä. Aikaisem…

The interactive effects of various nitrogen fertiliser formulations applied to urine patches on nitrous oxide emissions in grassland

2017

AbstractPasture-based livestock agriculture is a major source of greenhouse gas (GHG) nitrous oxide (N2O). Although a body of research is available on the effect of urine patch N or fertiliser N on N2O emissions, limited data is available on the effect of fertiliser N applied to patches of urinary N, which can cover up to a fifth of the yearly grazed area. This study investigated whether the sum of N2O emissions from urine and a range of N fertilisers, calcium ammonium nitrate (CAN) or urea ± urease inhibitor ± nitrification inhibitor, applied alone (disaggregated and re-aggregated) approximated the N2O emission of urine and fertiliser N applied together (aggregated). Application of fertili…

Stepmothers in narratives : negotiations on relatedness

2018

This study contributes to the existing stepmother research by focusing on interaction as an aspect of stepmother identity construction. Accordingly, identity is seen as negotiated through interaction with other family members. A narrative approach applied to 58 stories written by Finnish stepmothers yielded three identity types: identity restricted by a biological mother, stepmother-centred identity, and team parenthood identity. The most dominant feature, common to all the stories, was that stepmothers perceived themselves primarily in relation to the children’s biological mothers, a stance that often led them to feel threatened. Stepmother identity construction appeared to be problematic …
