Deformation-induced martensitic transformation in Co-28Cr-6Mo alloy produced by...
Antunes, Luiz Henrique Martinez; Quintero, John Jairo Hoyos; Andrade, Tathiane Caminha; Sarvezuk, Paulo Willian Carvalho; Wu, Leonardo; Ávila, J.A.The wear resistance of the biomedical low-carbon Co-28Cr-6Mo (wt.-%) alloy is primarily determined by the onset and magnitude of the face-centered cubic to hexagonal close-packed deformation-induced martensitic phase transformation. In metal-on-metal joint bearings, local plastic deformation occurs on the surface and in the subsurface regions. This can cause deformation-assisted structural changes in the materi...
The alpha-galactosidase A p.Arg118Cys variant does not cause a Fabry disease ph...
Ferreira, S.; Ortiz, A.; Germain, D.P.; Viana-Baptista, M.; Caldeira-Gomes, A.; Camprecios, M.; Fenollar-Cortés., M; Gallegos-Villalobos, Á.; Garcia, D.Lysosomal α-galactosidase A (α-Gal) is the enzyme deficient in Fabry disease (FD), an X-linked glycosphingolipidosis caused by pathogenic mutations affecting the GLA gene. The early-onset, multi-systemic FD classical phenotype is associated with absent or severe enzyme deficiency, as measured by in vitro assays, but patients with higher levels of residual α-Gal activity may have later-onset, more organ-restrict...
Predictive value of bioelectrical impedance analysis parameters in the mortalit...
Rodrigues, R.; Oliveira, B.M.P.M.; Pedroso, S.; Azevedo, J.N.; Azevedo, P.; Oliveira, J.P.; Silva, F.; Travassos, F.; Rodrigues, T.; Pereira, O.Background: Protein-energy wasting is a very common complication in hemodialysis patients and influences their survival. All hemodialysis patients should have their nutritional status evaluated regularly using multiple methods. The bioelectrical impedance analysis has been widely used in the nutritional assessment. The objective of this study was to evaluate, for a period of 7 years, to the prognostic value of ...
