THE ACUTE VERTEBRAL AUGMENTATION (AVERT) STUDY: PROTOCOL FOR A RANDOMISED CONTROLLED, FEASIBILITY TRIAL OF SPINAL MEDIAL BRANCH NERVE BLOCK IN HOSPITALISED OLDER PATIENTS WITH VERTEBRAL FRAGILITY FRACTURES

Introduction Body Vertebral fragility fractures (VFFs) are the most common type of osteoporotic fracture found in older people, resulting in increasing morbidity and excess mortality.These fractures can cause significant pain, requiring admission to hospital.Vertebroplasty (VP) is effective in reducing pain and allowing early mobilisation in hospit

Environmental management of coastal aquaculture is focused on acute impacts of organic and nitrogenous wastes close to farms.However, the energy-rich trophic subsidy that aquaculture provides may create cascades with influences over broader spatial scales.In a fjord region with intensive fish farming, we tested whether an ecosystem engineer, the wh

Reinforcement process of epoxy has been widely used to improvement of mechanical properties.Therefore, this work is concerned with the reinforcement of epoxy by adding natural materials (Pomegranate peel and Licorice particles) at epoxy.Different percentages of particles (5, 10, 15 and 20%) were used.The mechanical testing were included tensile, be

Leaf angle is one of the most important agronomic traits in rice, and changes in leaf angle can alter plant architecture to affect photosynthetic efficiency and thus determine Interior Door Handles grain yield.Therefore, it is important to identify key genes controlling leaf angle and elucidate the molecular mechanisms to improve rice yield.We obta

Many neurons display bistability--coexistence of two firing modes such as bursting and tonic spiking or tonic spiking and silence.Bistability has been proposed to endow neurons with richer forms of information processing in general and to be involved in short-term memory in particular by allowing a brief signal to elicit long-lasting changes in fir
