The history of ankylosing spondylitis/axial spondyloarthritis - what is the driving force of new knowledge?

The history of (axial) spondyloarthritis has started several centuries ago. Since the end of the 19th century major achievements have been made. This historical review tries to show how closely the advances in clinical medicine in rheumatology have been related to advances made in basic sciences.

What happens when you turn weed management off? A long-term appraisal of the effectiveness of Pteridium aquilinum (L.) kuhn control treatments and the role of sheep grazing.

Long-term strategies are needed for the ecological restoration of land invaded by perennial weed species comprising of two parts: (1) control of the invasive species and (2) restoration of native vegetation meeting agricultural/conservation objectives. We investigated this within a statistically-rigorous, 28-year experiment at a site where Pteridium aquilinum had invaded an acid-grass/heathland. Where P.

Bifunctional NiCo-CuO Nanostructures: A Promising Catalyst for Energy Conversion and Storage.

This investigation explores the potential of co-incorporating nickel (Ni) and cobalt (Co) into copper oxide (CuO) nanostructures for bifunctional electrochemical charge storage and oxygen evolution reactions (OER). A facile wet chemical synthesis method is employed to co-incorporate Ni and Co into CuO, yielding diverse nanostructured morphologies, including rods, spheres, and flake. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman analyses confirmed the formation of NiCo-CuO nanostructure, with minor phases of nickel oxide (NiO) and cobalt tetraoxide (CoO).

Long Head of Biceps Tenodesis for Maintaining Inherent Length and Uniform Tension at the Bicipital Groove: Suprapectoral Double-Row Technique With All-Suture Anchors.

The clinicopathologic conditions of the long head of the biceps tendon vary, encompassing tendinitis, peritendinous inflammation, hypertrophy, and partial or complete tears. These symptoms are typically linked with SLAP tears and instability of the long head of the biceps tendon, often resulting in partial displacement or complete dislocation. The choice between tenotomy and tenodesis depends on varied factors.
