Abrupt climate change in the Atlantic Ocean during the last 20,000 years : insights from multi-element analysis of benthic and planktic foraminifera and coupled OA-GCM
… sediment cores, as well as output from a coupled OAGCM, were used to investigate the magnitude and distribution of the oceanic response to abrupt climate events of the past 20 kyr. The study addressed three major questions: 1) What is the magnitude of high-latitude sea surface temperature and …

Investigations into the role of Toll-Like Receptors in the modulation of the inflammatory response during Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a multifactorial, painful and disabling disease that affects millions of people globally, with a largely unknown aetiology. OA remains undiagnosed until it becomes symptomatic with advanced structural alterations evident, thus joint replacement may be required. OA is now …

Elucidating the Relationship Between Macrophages and Synovial Mesenchymal Progenitor Cell Chondrogenesis
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a complex disease affecting articular cartilage and joint tissues. Macrophages in OA synovium contribute to the inflamed joint environment by releasing inflammatory mediators promoting cartilage loss. What remains unknown is how macrophages interact with synovial mesenchymal …

Comparing Wear of the Osteoarthritic Temporomandibular Joint and Distal Interphalangeal Joint: A Cadaveric Study
INTRODUCTION. Osteoarthritis (OA) is a complex chronic joint disease involving degeneration of articular cartilage, subchondral bone, and adjacent tissues, often affecting multiple joints in an individual. This study aimed to determine whether OA severity and spatial wear patterns are concordant …

Evaluation of the efficacy of a Chinese herbal medicine in the treatment of patients with osteoarthritis of the knee
Osteoarthritis (OA) is common but has no outright cure. Current therapeutic drugs mainly treat OA symptoms and often cause undesirable side effects. Chinese medicine (CM) is a popular alternative therapy for OA, however the majority of CM efficacy studies have been methodologically inadequate. CM …

Dimensions Underlying First Impressions of Older Adult Faces by Young and Older Adult Perceivers
… the potential to influence how older adults (OAs), a vulnerable population, are treated by others. The present study used a data-driven approach to examine dimensions underlying FIs of OAs and whether those dimensions vary by perceiver age. In Experiment 1, young adult (YA) and OA participants …

The development and drivers of the impact advantages of open access research
Introduction: The tendency for Open Access (OA) research to attract more citations and online attention than non-OA research is widely referred to as the Open Access Advantage (OAA). While numerous hypotheses attempt to explain this phenomenon, existing research lacks comprehensive analyses of how …

Open abdomen therapy with vacuum-assisted wound closure and mesh-mediated fascial traction
… conditions may be treated with open abdomen (OA) therapy. Potential complications to OA treatment include damage to the exposed bowel resulting in enteric fistulas, and inability to close the abdomen afterwards resulting in large ventral hernias. Vacuum-assisted wound closure and mesh-mediated …

Efficacy Of Various Modes Of Bowel Preparation to Prevent Surgical Site Infection Following Elective Colorectal Resection
… the risk of infection and that oral antibiotic (OA) use may be important in reducing post-operative infectious complications, however, there is little evidence comparing MBP, OA, and combination preparations. Our goal was to determine the relationship between type of bowel preparation and SSI in …

Developing a Senomorphic Treatment Strategy in Osteoarthritis
<p>Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis in the population worldwide, resulting in significant disabilities. Currently, no treatments can prevent or reverse the development of OA. Cellular senescence has been identified as a major contributing factor to OA. Therefore, a therapy …

Decadal trends in atmospheric organic aerosol :
Organic aerosol (OA) makes up a substantial fraction of atmospheric particulate matter, yet its sources and controlling factors - and thus its impacts on climate and human health - are not well understood. Recently-developed analytical techniques have provided new insight into OA chemistry, but …

Quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Knee Articular Cartilage and Effusion-Synovitis: The Structural Response to Changes in Joint Loading
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive degenerative condition that can affect all tissues within the joint. Methods to measure early changes in joint structures and the effect of interventions are required. The purpose of this thesis was to investigate aspects of quantitative magnetic resonance …
