Abstract:

This thesis is concerned with the design and construction of an electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT) and the characterisation of its acoustic field both conventionally, using a hydrophone and with high resolution laser illuminated schlieren techniques. During the early 80s the introduction of the EMA T along with the other types of shock wave source used for lithotripsy, revolutionised the treatment of stone disease. The process of shock wave induced destruction of calculi and the use of shock waves in other areas of medicine will be discussed, along with the causes and effects of stone

Mestrado em Engenharia Florestal e dos Recursos Naturais - Instituto Superior de Agronomia<br>Until a few years ago, the stone pine (Pinus pinea) was a species affected by few pathogens, but recently shoot blight and death of the shoots have been frequently reported in our country, causing serious concerns for producers and pine nut industry. By hindering the development of cones, this problem affects the production of pine nuts, the main resource of this forest industry. Lately, fungi belonging to different genera have been identified associated with shoot blight of stone pine. Some of these

Abstract:

Bacterial spot disease of stone fruits, caused by Xanthomonas arboricola pv. pruni, is of high economic importance in the major stone-fruit-producing areas worldwide. Disease control is mainly based on preventive measures, such as quarantine regulation, breeding for resistance or preventive copper spray applications, since no effective chemical control is available. Therefore, a better understanding of disease epidemiology can be valuable in developing disease management strategies. This thesis was aimed at developing a mechanistic forecasting system for bacterial spot disease of stone fruits,

Abstract:

Background: Silicosis is an ancient and preventable occupational lung disease that has long been known to be caused by exposure to significant amounts of dust containing silica (1). Silica dust is now known to be made up of microscopic silicon dioxide (SiO2) crystals, termed respirable crystalline silica (RCS), which are small enough to be inhaled to the deep alveolar sections of the lungs where gas exchange occurs (2). Over time this exposure can lead to silicosis, which can significantly impact a person’s quality of life and lifespan (2). Recent attempts to understand the pathophysiology o

Abstract:

In the kidney, unbound amino acids are freely filtered into the lumen of the nephron. For reabsorption to occur, they must be transported across the phospholipid bilayers of the tubular epithelium by selective transport systems. Mutations in these transport systems can lead to disease though a conferred lack of amino acid re-absorption. One such disease is cystinuria, caused by mutations in SLC3A1 and SLC7A9, which encode the two protein subunits of System b0,+, rBAT and b0,+AT, respectively. In healthy individuals System b0,+ mediates Na+- independent reabsorption of dibasic amino acids, and

This hypothesis was prompted by the discovery of three genes that, whereas mutated, are associated with the familial forms of the disease (FAD).

碩士<br>國立臺灣大學<br>臨床醫學研究所<br>101<br>BACKGROUND: The prevalence of gallstone disease in the general population was 5.3-10% in Taiwan. Common bile duct (CBD) stones would develop in about 10%-20% of patients with gallstones. The role of clinical symptoms, trans-abdominal ultrasound scan (USS) and liver function tests (LFTs) in evaluating common bile duct(CBD) stones in patients with suspected pancreatobiliary disease has been studied widely. However, it is not clear whether these predictive models are useful in different aging cohort population. OBJECTIVES: To investigate the clinical symptoms

Abstract:

Nectarines suffer low temperature disorders (LTD)when stored for more than 2 - 3 weeks at temperatures below 8 degrees C. LTD take the form of flesh bleeding and browning, loss of juiciness, development of mealiness and failure to ripen normally.It has been shown previously that adding about 15% CO2 to the storage atmosphere at 0 degrees C can delay the development of LTD in some cvv. of peaches and nectarines. The initial aim of this research was to explore the genetic basis of the differences among cultivars in the responses to high CO2.After much investigation, it was shown that both geneti

The previous study indicates that some systemic diseases or syndromes (ex: osteitis deformans、acromegaly and atherosclerosis ) are associated with pulp stone prevalence. Cardiovascular diseases have been the top ten cause of death for many years in Taiwan. In the present study, we classify the risk of the cardiovascular diseases according to measuring the intima-media thickness (IMT) of the bilateral common carotid artery and investigate the prevalence of the pulp stone,

碩士<br>高雄醫學大學<br>醫學遺傳學研究所<br>99<br>Store-operated calcium entry has been considered an important factor to regulate inflammatory reactions in nonexcitable cells. Calcium propagation by space operating channels (SOCs) in immune cells is critical to initiate appropriate immune responses. ORAI1 is an essential component in SOCs and its mutation results in patients with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID). In this study, we aim to determine the association between ORAI1 gene polymorphisms and inflammatory diseases, and the role of ORAI1 in linking mechanism between histamine and COX-2 expressio

Abstract:

Introduction. Stone crushing in Dar-es-Salaam Tanzania is largely an informal occupational activity, with approximately 7000 workers exposed to varying level of respirable dust. A highly marginalized, self employed, informal stonecrusher is prone to multiple work related risks, particularly dust related respiratory diseases. Aim. This study, the first to be done among informal stone crushers in Southern Africa, aimed at determining the prevalence of dust related respiratory outcomes and relationships between these health endpoints and exposure to respirable dust in this sample of stonecrushers

Chronic kidney disease-related risk factors such as diabetes, hypertension, and nephrotoxic drugs are clear and uncontested, kidney stones is relatively less mentioned and easily overlooked as a risk factor. CKD is a recognized complication of kidney stones, in some rare hereditary disorders(e.g., primary hyperoxaluria, Dent disease, cystinuria), due to their early onset, and the uri

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo relatar a prevaléncia de cálculos pulpares e sua associação com doenças sistémicas, nomeadamente doenças cardiovasculares e renais. Pretende-se avaliar, também, a possível relação entre a presença destas mineralizações e variáveis como o género, idade, status dentário, localização nas arcadas dentárias e o tipo de dentes mais afetados. Foi realizada uma revisão da literatura de trabalhos dos últimos 10 anos nas bases de dados da Pub Med, e de acordo com os critérios de inclusão e exclusão, baseados na relevância para o assunto, foram selecionados 25 artig
