Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChronic Kidney Disease-Mineral Bone Disoder: Fibroblast Growth Factor-23 and Phosphate MetabolismWisit Cheungpasitporn, Pongsathorn Kue-A-Pai, Patompong Ungprasert et al.Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a growing epidemic in the United States. There are hormonal changes that develop long before the mineral changes in patients with CKD occur. Increased Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) levels first become evident when the estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) is below 60 mL/min/1.73m2. High serum phosphate stimulates the secretion of the Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 (FGF-23) … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 4 May 2013 · 6,877 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMorphological Features of Rodoretto Valley Deep-Seated Gravitational Slope DeformationsMaria Gabriella Forno, Andrea Lingua, Stefano Lo Russo, Glenda TaddiaA new, detailed survey of the Rodoretto Valley (Western Alps, Italy) has been conducted resulting in the production of a new morphological and quaternary geological map of the area. The authors used the innovative Solid (True) Ortho-Photo (STOP) technology integrated with navigation sensors (Global Navigation Satellite System-GNSS/Inertial Measurement Unit-IMU). This state-of-the-art procedure has demonstrated several operational advantages during both the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 9 Feb 2013 · 7,031 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRecent Clinical Advancement of the Effects of Parathyroid Analogues on Fracture Healing in Humans: A Review of LiteratureWen Wei Gerard Ee, Wen Liang Joel Lau, Harish Sivasubramanian, Diarmuid MurphyProblem statement: Numerous animal studies have shown that administration of Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) or a related analogue promotes callus formation and bone union. However, there has yet to be sufficient evidence in human subjects to justify the use of PTH or related analogues in promoting fracture healing. The purpose of this paper is to (1) review all literature involving the … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 27 Aug 2012 · 7,338 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStress Prediction in the Dynamic Compression Plate with Changing the Configuration of the Screw FixationBoonthum WongchaiProblem statement: Human femur fracture is one of the most frequent type of bone fractures. One of the widely used methods in an internal fixation is an application of the Dynamic Compression Plate (DCP). The configuration of the screw fixation plays a major role of the DCP stress. Approach: This research is proposed to investigate the stress distribution in the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 4 Apr 2011 · 7,618 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeologic Mapping of United Arab Emirates using Multispectral Remotely Sensed DataMaged Marghany, Shattri Mansor, Mazlan HashimProblem statement: Geological studies are requiring standard methods and procedures to acquire precisely information. However, traditional methods might be difficult to use due to highly earth complex topography. Regarding the previous prospective, the advantage of satellite remote sensing in its application to geology is the wide coverage over the area of interest, where much accurate and useful information such as … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,582 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Damsites Groutability Using Secondary Permeability Index, Rock Classification (Case Studies)R. Ajalloeian, F. MoeinProblem statement: The dam body and foundation seepage is one of the important points in design parameters. This index is related to the permeability. There fore permeability is one of the basic parameter in design grout curtain, prevent water escape from foundation and avoid negative seepage pressure in borrow materials, so grouting is used. Grouting means injected materials like cement … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,411 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUse of 2D Multi Electrodes Resistivity Imagining for Sinkholes Hazard Assessment along the Eastern Part of the Dead Sea, JordanAbdallah S. Al-Zoubi, Abd El-Rahman A. Abueladas, Rami I. Al-Rzouq et al.Sinkholes and subsidence are natural phenomena can be occurred in shallow geology sediments at different regions in the world. Sinkholes assessment is one of the most difficult near subsurface investigations. Geophysical prospecting is appropriate method to determine environmental and geotechnical problems. 2D multi electrodes resistivity imagining with Wenner-Schulmberge array was conducted within active sinkholes area. The objective of the survey … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,049 accessesView PDF Cite
