[3] [1] [2] This joint is formed by the trapezium bone of the wrist and the metacarpal bone of the thumb. This is one of the joints where most humans develop osteoarthritis with age. [4] Osteoarthritis is age-related loss of the smooth surface of the bone where it moves against another bone (cartilage of the joint).
The M88A1 was powered by the Continental AVDS-1790-2DR Diesel engine and had a 10 HP Diesel auxiliary power unit. [1] While the original M88 and M88A1 are designated as a "medium recovery vehicle", the M88A2, original designation being M88A1E1, is designated as "heavy recovery vehicle". They are all similar in many fundamental ways.
A dust collector is a system used to enhance the quality of air released from industrial and commercial processes by collecting dust and other impurities from air or gas. Designed to handle high-volume dust loads, a dust collector system consists of a blower, dust filter, a filter-cleaning system, and a dust receptacle or dust removal system.
[1] The capsule is sufficiently slack to allow a wide range of movements and a distraction of roughly 3 mm, while reinforcing ligaments and tendons give stability to the joint. It is slightly thicker on its dorsal side than on the other. [1] The first carpometacarpal joint is a frequent site of osteoarthritis in postmenopausal women. [2]
A heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) is an energy recovery heat exchanger that recovers heat from a hot gas stream, such as a combustion turbine or other waste gas stream. It produces steam that can be used in a process ( cogeneration ) or used to drive a steam turbine ( combined cycle ).
A tracheobronchoplasty is a surgical procedure performed at limited medical facilities across the United States. [1] It consists of a thoracic surgery during which mesh is sutured to the outside of the patient's trachea through a series of hundreds of knots.
By contrast, the St. John manual advocated turning the head to the side, but it was not until the 1950 40th edition of the St. John Manual that it was added "if breathing is noisy (bubbling through secretions), turn the patient into the three-quarters prone position", [4] which is very similar to a modern recovery position.
The Merrill–Crowe Process is a separation technique for removing gold from the solution obtained by the cyanide leaching of gold ores. It is an improvement of the MacArthur-Forrest process, where an additional vacuum is managed to remove air in the solution (invention of Crowe), and zinc dust is used instead of zinc shavings (improvement of Merrill).
