Background: Canin leishmaniasis (CanL), mostly caused by Leishmania infantum, is one of the most important vector-borne diseases in dogs in the Mediterranean region.In this study, we aimed to determine the disease profile in this region by firstly making microscopic and then molecular analyzes in the samples taken from the dogs.Methods: Overall, Po
Second sacral sacralalar‐iliac (S2AI) screw placement in adult degenerative scoliosis (ADS) patients: an imaging study
Abstract Background The imaging characteristics of sacral sacralalar-iliac (S2AI) screw trajectory in adult degenerative scoliosis (ADS) patients will be determined.Methods S2AI screw trajectories were mapped on three-dimensional computed tomography (3DCT) reconstructions of 40 ADS patients.The starting point, placement plane, screw template, and a
Rapid defect prediction and optimisation method for Ti-modified AlCuMg alloys processed by laser powder-bed fusion
Ti-modified AlCuMg alloys have demonstrated great potential in improving the printability and mechanical properties of conventional Al alloys processed by laser powder-bed fusion (LPBF).However, an effective material design method, which considers processing parameters and solidification microstructure, is currently absent.Accordingly, the present
The Balanced Opioid Initiative: protocol for a clustered, sequential, multiple-assignment randomized trial to construct an adaptive implementation strategy to improve guideline-concordant opioid prescribing in primary care
Abstract Background Rates of opioid prescribing tripled in the USA between 1999 and 2015 and were associated with significant increases in Puzzle opioid misuse and overdose death.Roughly half of all opioids are prescribed in primary care.Although clinical guidelines describe recommended opioid prescribing practices, implementing these guidelines in
Capturing critical data elements in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis: initiatives to improve data capture
Abstract Background Documentation of critical data elements is a focus of the Pediatric Rheumatology Care and Outcomes Improvement Network to aid in clinical care and research for patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis.We aimed to increase data capture for critical data elements and hypothesized that quality improvement methodology would Dieca
