A clinical trial of tension and compression orthoses for Dupuytren Disease KU Leuven
STUDY DESIGN: Randomized clinical trial on 2 patient groups with Dupuytren's disease. INTRODUCTION: Despite an unpredictable outcome, surgery remains an important treatment for Dupuytren's disease. Orthotic devices are a controversial noninvasive treatment method to influence the myofibroblasts in the nodules. PURPOSE OF THE STUDY: To detect how much improvement 2 types of orthotic device (tension and compression) as only treatment intervention ...
Study of self-heating and local strain rate in polyamide-6 and short fibre glass/polyamide-6 under tension through synchronised full-field strain and temperature measurements Ghent University
This paper studies thermomechanical coupling during room-temperature tensile testing of polyamide-6 (PA6) and 50 wt% short glass fibre/PA6. The tests were performed for different fibre angles (0°, 45°, 90°), moisture contents (dry, 50%RH), and strain rates (10^(-4), 10^(-2), 10^(-1) s^(-1)). Digital image correlation (DIC) was coupled with infrared thermography. The contribution of the local strains, strain rates and temperatures to the global ...
How much does the core structure of a three-phase contact line contribute to the line tension near a wetting transition? KU Leuven
We initially simplify a three-phase contact line to a 'primitive' star-shaped structure formed by three planar interfaces meeting at a common line of intersection, and calculate the line tension associated with this primitive picture. Next, we consider the well-known more refined picture of the contact line that includes a 'core structure' consisting of interface deviations away from the planar interface picture. The corresponding contact line ...
Theoretical study of line and boundary tension in adsorbed colloid-polymer mixtures KU Leuven
An extended theoretical study of interface potentials in adsorbed colloid-polymer mixtures is performed. To describe the colloid-polymer mixture near a hard wall, a simple Cahn-Nakanishi-Fisher free-energy functional is used. The bulk phase behaviour and the substrate-adsorbate interaction are modelled by the free-volume theory for ideal polymers with polymer-to-colloid size ratios q = 0.6 and q = 1. The interface potentials are constructed with ...
Monitoring preantral follicle survival and growth in bovine ovarian biopsies by repeated use of neutral red and cultured in vitro under low and high oxygen tension University of Antwerp
The development and optimization of preantral follicle culture methods are crucial in fertility preservation strategies. As preantral follicle dynamics are usually assessed by various invasive techniques, the need for alternative noninvasive evaluation tools exists. Recently, neutral red (NR) was put forward to visualize preantral follicles in situ within ovarian cortical fragments. However, intense light exposure of NR-stained tissues can lead ...
