TL;DR: A review is made of some system dynamics models which address health care issues and suggestions are made for the types of role which these models should take, bearing in mind the strategic orientation of system dynamics modelling.
Abstract: Taking a European perspective, a review is made of some system dynamics models which address health care issues. Suggestions are made for the types of role which these models should take, bearing in mind the strategic orientation of system dynamics modelling. Examples are described of qualitative models where influence diagrams are the main analytical tool. Quantitative system dynamics models have a contribution to make in epidemiological studies and have been used to analyse the AIDS epidemic. A detailed example of one aspect of model formulation is given. This concerns the AIDS incubation time distribution and shows how real-world complications arising from virological staging and treatment effects are handled in a model of AIDS spread.

TL;DR: In this article, a mixed proton and electronic conducting hollow fiber membrane, SrCe0.95Yb0.05O2.975 (SCYb), has been prepared by spinning a polymer solution containing suspended SCYb particles to a hollow fibre precursor, which is then sintered at elevated temperatures.

TL;DR: The Ilizarov method is valuable, but research is needed to overcome the problems of delayed maturation of the regenerate and slow or insecure healing of the docking site.
Abstract: We have reviewed a series of 56 consecutive patients treated by the Ilizarov circular fixator for various combinations of nonunion, malunion and infection of fractures. We used segmental excision, distraction osteogenesis and gradual correction of the deformity as appropriate. Treatment was effective in eliminating 40 out of 46 nonunions and all 22 infections. There were two cases of refracture some months after removal of the frame, both of which healed securely in a second frame. Correction of malunion was good in the coronal plane but there was a tendency to anterior angulation, often occurring in the regenerate bone rather than at the original fracture site, after removal of the frame. This was associated with very slow maturation of regenerate bone in some patients, occurring largely, but not exclusively, in those who smoked heavily. Patients expressed high levels of satisfaction with the outcome, despite relatively modest improvements in pain and function, presumably because their longstanding and intractable nonunion had been treated. None the less, the degree of satisfaction correlated strongly with the degree of improvement in pain and function. We emphasise the importance of a multidisciplinary team in the assessment and support of patients undergoing long and demanding treatment. The Ilizarov method is valuable, but research is needed to overcome the problems of delayed maturation of the regenerate and slow or insecure healing of the docking site.

TL;DR: Comparisons between resurfacing endometrial epithelial cells in vivo and epithelium cells migrating from explants in vitro suggested that this initial epithelial migration in vitro was the counterpart of the repair response in vivo.
Abstract: Separation of human endometrium into its epithelial and stromal components has been achieved through collagenase digestion and has permitted a study of these two cell populations under specific experimental culture conditions The stromal cell populations showed a progesterone response, were easily handled in culture, and displayed a limited in vitro life span typical of human diploid fibroblasts In contrast, epithelium only survived in short-term primary culture and showed no clear hormone response High-density epithelial cultures remained viable for longer periods in culture Comparisons between resurfacing endometrial epithelial cells in vivo and epithelial cells migrating from explants in vitro suggested that this initial epithelial migration in vitro was the counterpart of the repair response in vivo
