Background and aim: Research regarding patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) has shown no significant difference in postoperative pain with or without the use of local infiltration analgesia (LIA). The aim was to evaluate whether intra-operative LIA with Ropivacaine in patients undergoing THA under general anaesthesia reduces postoperative pain. Method: A randomised, placebo-controlled

Background: The life expectancy of pancreatic cancer patients remains minimal. The disease progression may be influenced by type 2 diabetes (T2D) and inflammatory status, although important gaps persist around their joint effects on disease outcome. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical significance of the tumour immune microenvironment on pancreatic cancer prognosis in relation to

The mechanical deformation of the wound edge resulting from negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) at the standard setting of around -120mmHg has positive effects in promoting wound healing. However, it may cause pain to the patient during treatment. It is therefore important to study the mechanical effects of the wound edges using lower pressure and different wound fillers. Abdominal wounds were

The First World War is usually conceived as a turning point in the history of migration policy. Before the war, borders were largely open, passports were in most places abolished, and the movement of people as well as capital and traded goods was understood through an optimistic and liberal institutionalist lens. At the outbreak of the war, states reinstated passport controls, presumably as a temp

Web wrinkling is one of the more common web handling problems, caused by shear forces, resulting from in-plane misaligned rollers. Several analytical models have been derived, mainly based on the theory of beams or membranes and isotropic material properties. Paper is a highly anisotropic material but can be assumed orthotropic for thin structures as paper web. For this reason, an orthotropic plan

This study evaluates the costs associated with foraging for birds in a savannah woodland area in central Nigeria. Specifically, it looks at the following questions: 1) how does seasonal variability in food and water availability affect the value of resources to birds in dry environments? 2) Does proximity to water affect foraging decisions? What implication will this have in the management of sava

Five sets of gloves were tested on 3 hand models with 2 measuring system in order to ensure repeatability of results from the past and for the future. The other aims of the study were to compare the possible differences related to different number of measuring zones, and effect of temperature distribution over hand surface. The hand models had 2 (HF), 9 (H2) and 10 (H3) zones respectively. Models
