TL;DR: demonstrating a beneficial effect of the HA coating at all time periods is believed to be due to the use of paired comparisons, which allow assessment of subtle differences that might otherwise have been obscured by normal biological variability.
Abstract: The effect of a plasma-sprayed hydroxylapatite (HA) coating on the degree of bone ingrowth and interface shear attachment strength was investigated using a canine femoral transcortical implant model. Cylindrical implants were fabricated by sintering spherical Co-Cr-Mo particles 500-710 microns in diameter; the nominal implant dimensions were 5.95 +/- 0.05 mm diameter by 18 mm in length. One half of each implant was coated with hydroxylapatite, 25-30 microns in thickness, by a plasma-spray technique. Using strict aseptic technique, the implants were placed through both femoral cortices into defects approximately 0.05 mm undersized. After 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 18, 26, and 52 weeks, the implants were harvested and subjected to mechanical pullout testing and undecalcified histologic evaluation. The application of the HA coating to porous implants enhanced both the amount of bone ingrowth and the interface attachment strength at all time periods. These differences were statistically significant for the percent of bone ingrowth at the 4-, 6-, 12-, 18-, 26-, and 52-week time periods, and interface shear strength values were significantly different at the 6-, 8-, 12-, 18-, and 26-week time periods. The rate of development of interface strength and bone ingrowth was also more rapid for the HA-coated implants. No evidence of any disruption, mechanical failure, or biologic resorption of the HA coating was observed. The results of the present study--demonstrating a beneficial effect of the HA coating at all time periods--are believed to be due to the use of paired comparisons, which allow assessment of subtle differences that might otherwise have been obscured by normal biological variability.

TL;DR: Results suggest that inhibition of erythroid, but not granulocytic, progenitor cell formation, in addition to a relative erythropoietin deficiency, are the primary factors responsible for the anemia of chronic renal failure.

TL;DR: It is hypothesize that the addition of structural determinants and root causes will identify racism as a cause of inequities in maternal health outcomes, as many of the social and political structures and policies in the United States were born out of racism, classism, and gender oppression.
Abstract: Since the World Health Organization launched its commission on the social determinants of health (SDOH) over a decade ago, a large body of research has proven that social determinants-defined as the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work, and age-are significant drivers of disease risk and susceptibility within clinical care and public health systems. Unfortunately, the term has lost meaning within systems of care because of misuse and lack of context. As many disparate health outcomes remain, including higher risk of maternal mortality among Black women, a deeper understanding of the SDOH-and what forces underlie their distribution-is needed. In this article, we will expand our review of social determinants of maternal health to include the terms "structural determinants of health" and "root causes of inequities" as we assess the literature on this topic. We hypothesize that the addition of structural determinants and root causes will identify racism as a cause of inequities in maternal health outcomes, as many of the social and political structures and policies in the United States were born out of racism, classism, and gender oppression. We will conclude with proposed practice and policy solutions to end inequities in maternal health outcomes.

TL;DR: Three-dimensional finite element models of a partially edentulated human mandible were generated to calculate the mechanical response to simulated isometric biting and mastication loads and showed that a model with over 30,000 degrees of freedom was required to obtain analysis accuracy.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify managerial responsibilities associated with ensuring fairness in the implementation of decision-making procedures in organizations, including giving adequate consideration to employees' viewpoints, suppressing biases, applying decision making criteria consistently, providing timely feedback, giving justification, being truthful in communication, and treating employees with courtesy and civility.
Abstract: This article identifies managerial responsibilities associated with ensuring fairness in the implementation of decision-making procedures in organizations. These responsibilities include giving adequate consideration to employees' viewpoints, suppressing biases, applying decision-making criteria consistently, providing timely feedback, giving justification, being truthful in communication, and treating employees with courtesy and civility. The article concludes with a discussion of the theoretical and practical implications of this analysis for procedural justice in organizations
