De eerste fase van het onderzoek is afgerond en er is besloten om verdergaand onderzoek te doen. In verband met duurzaamheid van het materiaal, is ervoor gekozen om verder onderzoek te verrichten naar GC-elementen van kunststof. Dit onderzoek is gedaan door een drietal studenten van de TU Delft aan de faculteit Civiele Techniek. Voorliggend document bevat de meetresultaten van de kwali- en kwantitatieve experimenten die zijn uitgevoerd om de eigenschappen van kunststoffen GC\u92s en een pakket GC\u92s te bepalen
Italian guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of Paget's disease of bone
No full textPaget's disease of bone is a chronic focal abnormality of bone turnover that remains totally asymptomatic over a very long period of time but that eventually ensue in bone pain and skeletal deformities. Although, in the last decade new insights have been obtained on its etiology, this remains largely obscure. Effective medical treatment (based on the use of bisphosphonates) has become available and the diagnostic procedures are now well defined. However, there remains considerable controversy regarding the hierarchy of diagnostic procedures and the medical treatment threshold. In the last few years different institution have published national guidelines, reflecting local national health systems and the available medical treatment. In this review, a working group derived from members of the SIOMMMS has examined the information available regarding the diagnosis and treatment of Paget's disease in order to develop guidelines to assist in the management of this condition. The first draft was then extensively reviewed by experts derived from the most representative scientific societies of rheumatology, internal medicine, and orthopaedic surgery. The document provides the most updated recommendations based primarily on the "evidence-based- medicine" but also on the Italian regulation for the diagnostic procedures and on the available medical treatments

The Private Cost of Long-Term Care in Canada: Where You Live Matters
No full textCanadians expect the same access to health care whether they are rich or poor, and wherever they live, often without direct charge at the point of service. However, we find that the private cost of long-term care differs greatly across the country, and within provinces, we find substantial variation, depending on income level, marital status, and, in Quebec alone, on assets owned. A non-married person with average income would pay more than twice as much in the Atlantic provinces as in Quebec, while a couple with one in care would pay almost four times as much in Newfoundland as in Alberta.long-term care, private cost
Meetresultaten \u93extra proef\u94 Kunststof GC-elementen: Stabiliteit, soortelijk gewicht en elasticiteit
No full textDit rapport is een aanvulling op het eindverslag van het onderzoek naar het gedrag van kunststof GC elementen voor oever- en bodembescherming. Conclusies van dat (schaal-) onderzoek waren dat een structuur van GC elementen verrassend sterke hydraulische eigenschappen bezit en daarmee interessant is als erosiebeschermer bij bodem en oeverconstructies. Beperking in het gebruik lag bij \u93stabiliteit\u94. Onder sterke stroming of golfslag was het pakket onvoldoende stabiel. Zo werden er onder zeer sterke stroming flarden uit getrokken, of bewoog het pakket enigszins onder golfslag op een talud. Er werden verschillende kunststoffen gebruikt, met verschillende soortelijke gewichten. Uit extrapolatie en precieze bestudering van het bezwijken kon verwacht worden dat gebruik van sterkere GC\u92s (minder elastisch) en zwaardere GC\u92s (stabieler) het bereik waarin de GC gebruikt kan worden aanzienlijk zou moeten kunnen vergroten
Superiority of alfacalcidol compared to vitamin D plus calcium il lumbar bone mineral density in postmenopausal osteoporosis.
No full textIn a randomized multicenter, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel group study a comparison of the efficacy and safety of 1 μg alfacalcidol to 880 IU vitamin D plus calcium carbonate (1 g calcium) once daily per os was performed on 148 postmenopausal osteoporotic Caucasian patients with normal vitamin D serum levels for 18 months. Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured at baseline, 12 and 18 months. Safety parameters were followed during the entire study period. Sixty-nine (90.8%) in the alfacalcidol group and 67 (93.1%) in the vitamin D group were included in the ITT analysis. Lumbar BMD in the alfacalcidol group increased by 0.017 g/cm2 (2.33%) and 0.021 g/cm2 (2.87%) from baseline (P<0.001) at 12 and 18 months, respectively, whereas in the vitamin D plus calcium group the increase was 0.005 g/cm2 (0.70%) from baseline (N.S.) at both 12 and 18 months. The higher changes from baseline in the alfacalcidol group, as compared to the changes in the vitamin D plus calcium group at both 12 and 18 months, were found to be statistically significant (P=0.018, 0.005). A small increase of mean femoral BMD was achieved in both groups (N.S.). Adverse events were similar in both groups. No significant differences were noted between the groups in serum calcium. In conclusion, alfacalcidol was found to be superior in significantly increasing lumbar BMD as compared to vitamin D plus calcium while safety characteristics were found to be similar in both treatments

No full textOblique derivative problems for second order equations of mixed type in multiply connected domains
No full textIn this paper, oblique derivative boundary value problems for second order equations of mixed (elliptic-hyperbolic) type in multiply connected domains is discussed. Firstly the representation of solutions for the above boundary value problem is given, afterwards the uniqueness and existence of solutions of the above problem are stated. In book [1], the author proposed the Dirichlet boundary value problem (Tricomi problem) for second order equations of mixed type in multiply connected domains. In [2, 3], the author only discussed the Dirichlet problem (Tricomi T-2 for the equation u(xx) + sgny u(yy) = 0 in a special doubly connected domain. Up to now we have not seen that other authors have solved it in multiply connected domains. In the present paper, we try to discuss the oblique derivative problem for second order equations of mixed type in multiply connected domains, which includes the Dirichlet problem (Problem T-2) as a special case.http://gateway.webofknowledge.com/gateway/Gateway.cgi?GWVersion=2&SrcApp=PARTNER_APP&SrcAuth=LinksAMR&KeyUT=WOS:000169505000164&DestLinkType=FullRecord&DestApp=ALL_WOS&UsrCustomerID=8e1609b174ce4e31116a60747a720701Mathematics, AppliedMathematicsCPCI-S(ISTP)
