Falling is one of the most common accidents that cause a loss in the quality of life for older adults, and is usually precipitated by a loss of balance and weakness in the legs. [1] [2] The cause of falling in old age is often multifactorial and may require a multidisciplinary approach both to treat any injuries sustained and to prevent future ...
Per the CDC, over 14 million people in that age group, or 1 in 4 seniors, report experiencing falls each year. The age-adjusted death rate from falls increased in 2021 to 78 per 100,000 older ...
Twinning is less common but readily occurs under some circumstances. Twinning occurs when there are not enough slip systems to accommodate deformation and/or when the material has a very low SFE. Twins are abundant in many low SFE metals like copper alloys, but are rarely seen in high SFE metals like aluminum.
Deformation twinning is a response to shear stress. The crystal structure is displaced along successive planes of the crystal, a process also called glide. The twinning is always reflection twinning and the glide plane is also the mirror plane. Deformation twinning can be observed in a calcite cleavage fragment by applying gentle pressure with ...
Dementia is a devastating disease that impacts one in 10 older Americans. But while many people want to avoid developing dementia, the exact causes of the condition have remained largely a mystery ...
These values vary with deformation temperature, strain rate and chemical composition. [3] [4] Researchers have shown that increased work hardening attributed to the partitioning of the austenite grains is the main contributing factor to the overall elongation of TWIP steels in which the mechanical strain of twinning have a rather small ...
Reconstructive surgery following a severe injury, e.g. burn injury; Deformity can occur in all organisms: Frogs can be mutated due to Ribeiroia infection. Plants can undergo irreversible cell deformation [1] Insects, such as honeybees, can be affected by deformed wing virus; Fish can be found with scoliosis due to environmental factors [2]
Spinal column injury is trauma that causes fracture of the bone or instability of the ligaments in the spine; this can coexist with or cause injury to the spinal cord, but each injury can occur without the other. [23] Abnormalities might show up on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), but the term was coined before MRI was in common use. [24]
