Background: Different coatings of the metal implants of STAR prostheses have been used since 1999. In Europe metal implants with a double calcium-phosphate coating (BONIT) on a titanium sprayed surface have been available since 1999.
Methods: We present a 2-17 year follow-up of a consecutive series from a single center with 474 STAR ankle replacements where the BONIT type of coating has been used.
In this Letter, we present the design and performance of the frequency-dependent squeezed vacuum source that will be used for the broadband quantum noise reduction of the Advanced Virgo Plus gravitational-wave detector in the upcoming observation run. The frequency-dependent squeezed field is generated by a phase rotation of a frequency-independent squeezed state through a 285 m long, high-finesse, near-detuned optical resonator. With about 8.

In this study, we characterized, defined the incidence over time and studied prognostic implications in all t-AML patients diagnosed in Sweden between 1997 and 2015. Data were retrieved from nationwide population-based registries.

Methods: We included 9030 patients operated for CTS and 1269 for UNE registered in the Swedish National Quality Register for Hand Surgery (HAKIR) 2010-2016. Occupational data was retrieved from Statistics Sweden.
