Schrack, Catalina Garzon, Tianjing Li, David S. Friedman, Sheila K. West, Laura N. Gitlin, Pradeep Y. Ramulu

“…Activity fragmentation was defined as the reciprocal of the mean activity bout length, with higher fragmentation reflecting shorter, more fractured bouts of continuous activity. Multivariate linear mixed-effects models were used to assess three-year longitudinal changes in: 1) activity fragmentation, and 2) accumulation of activity across six three-hour intervals from 5 AM to 11 PM. …”

Exploração operatória e redução de sindesmose em lesão de tornozelo de Weber tipo C Operative exploration and reduction of syndesmosis in Weber type C ankle injury by Yunfeng Yang, Jiaqian Zhou, Bing Li, Hongmou Zhao, Tao Yu, Guangrong Yu

“…METHODS: forty three patients presenting weber type C ankle injury were treated with open reduction and internal fixation from october 2004 to december 2009. twenty nine patients were treated with routine procedure involving open reduction and internal fixation, syndesmosis exploration. additional repair was performed in the others. thirty four patients were followed during an average time of 31.2 months (range, 18 to 50 months), 22 patients of those were treated with routine procedures and 12 were treated with additional syndesmosis surgical exploration. RESULTS: all the fractures were united within the average time of 13.1 weeks (range, 10 to 18 weeks) and full weight bearing began. the mean ankle and hindfoot scale of the american orthopaedics foot and ankle society score was 79.86 (range, 65 to 98) in the routine procedures group and 86.67 (range, 78 to 100) in the syndesmosis exploration group. the values of olerud-molander score were 77.27 (range, 55 to 100) and 86.67 (range, 75 to 100), respectively. statistcally significant difference was found between the two groups (p<0.05). …”

Genesis of the Large-Scale Kamado Magnesite Deposit on the Tibetan Plateau by Xuhui Yu, Guyue Hu, Yuchuan Chen, Ying Xu, Han Chen, Denghong Wang, Fan Huang, Shuisheng You, Haiyong Liu, Liang He, Yubin Li

“…The results indicate that: (1) the orebody is composed of magnesite, with accessory minerals of aragonite, opal, and chromite; (2) the siliceous sinter and relatively high B (32.0–68.1 ppm) and Li (14.7–23.4 ppm) contents of the magnesite ores reflect long-term spring activity in Kamado; (3) the light carbon (<i>δ</i>¹³C_V-PDB: −4.7 ± 0.3‰ to −4.1 ± 0.6‰) and oxygen isotopic compositions (<i>δ</i>¹⁸O_V-SMOW: +12.3 ± 0.3 to +16.3 ± 0.1‰) of the stockwork ores in the foot wall rocks indicated that the carbon in fractures in the ultramafic rocks is from a mixture of marine carbonate and oxidized organic-rich sedimentary rocks, reflecting a typical “Kraubath-type” magnesite deposit; and (4) the relatively heavy carbon isotopic (<i>δ</i>¹³C_V-PDB: +8.7 ± 0.4‰ to +8.8 ± 0.3‰) composition of the banded magnesite ores in the lower segment may have formed from heavy CO₂ generated by anaerobic fermentation in the lakebed. …”
