The present work is a study with the objective of learning the conceptions of the patient bearer of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) concerning to fatigue symptoms and their repercussions in his/her daily life as well as the actions performed in order to minimize the fatigue. It is a descriptive and

The fatigue properties of Simplex P and Palacos R bone cements were compared to their antibiotic impregnated counterparts AKZ* and Palacos R with gentamycin. The effect of porosity reduction by centrifugation of all four cement types was also assessed. Fifteen specimens of each cement type were

The literature on instrument myopia is reviewed, with the review organized around three principal objectives. One is to describe and discuss various factors that may influence the degree to which instrument myopia is manifested, including monocular vs. binocular viewing, age, direction of focus,

The authors have discussed the new conceptual neurophysiological model of genesis and pathogenesis of fatigue and overstrain in seamen. The complex phase character of the developing changes was revealed. Use of the complex of psychophysiological methods with consideration of neurophysiological

In a recent study, we showed that the presence of gentamicin in Palacos R or erythromycin plus colistin in Simplex P bone cement did not significantly decrease the fatigue strength of the cement. [J.P. Davies, D.O. O'Connor, D.W. Burke, and W.H. Harris, "Influence of antibiotic impregnation on the

Absorbable sutures, since their conception, have become the dominant method for surgical wound closure and are constantly being improved. However, despite their years of service, not all aspects of their performance are fully understood. In particular, suture absorption is usually characterized by

A strong association between fatigue and depression in cancer patients has been reported repeatedly in clinical studies. The distinction remains difficult, mainly because of the similar phenomenology of fatigue and depression. It is the aim of this paper to work out similarities and differences in
