OBJECTIVES
The degree of bone loss in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) has not been well-defined. We tested the hypothesis, whether serum levels of tumour necrosis factor-related… (More)
Vertebral fractures due to osteoporosis are a common but frequently unrecognized complication in established ankylosing spondylitis (AS). It is known that inflammatory activity in rheumatic diseases… (More)
Corneal endothelial diseases lead to severe vision impairment, motivating the transplantation of donor corneae or corneal endothelial lamellae, which is, however, impeded by endothelial cell loss… (More)
OBJECTIVE
To determine the changes in bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA; without osteoporosis) treated with infliximab.
METHODS
Twenty-six patients (19 women,… (More)
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
Multiple endocrine and metabolic consequences of human immunodeficiency (HIV) infection exist that alter bone metabolism in patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome… (More)
Future development of electrical distribution and transmission technologies is driving the development of direct current (DC) circuit breakers (CB). The absence of a natural current zero, the… (More)
Vertebral fractures due to osteoporosis are a common but frequently unrecognized complication of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and various factors may contribute to the development of osteoporosis in… (More)
Bone remodelling is characterized by a balance between bone resorption and bone formation. The osteoblasts are responsible for bone synthesis and the osteoclasts for bone resorption. A finely… (More)

This research project focuses on developing a measurement system which is able to detect the arc motion in a RMF (radial magnetic field) contact system. The arc movement is measured by analyzing the… (More)
A compact, high-current pseudospark switch with radial discharge gap and annular trigger slit has been developed, which is suitable for pulse durations of tens of microseconds and peak currents of up… (More)
