Corrosion02:49

Corrosion

28.4K
The degradation of metals due to natural electrochemical processes is known as corrosion. Rust formation on iron, tarnishing of silver, and the blue-green patina that develops on copper are examples of corrosion. Corrosion involves the oxidation of metals. Sometimes it is protective, such as the oxidation of copper or aluminum, wherein a protective layer of metal oxide or its derivatives forms on the surface, protecting the underlying metal from further oxidation. In other cases, corrosion is...

Corrosion of Reinforcement

586
The corrosion of steel reinforcement within concrete is a process influenced by the material's inherent properties and external factors. The high pH level of around 13, provided by calcium hydroxide present in concrete, initially protects the steel reinforcement by promoting the formation of a passive iron oxide layer on its surface.
However, over time and under certain conditions like carbonation, chloride ingress, and cracking this protective state can be compromised. Steel has areas with...

Hemodialysis II: Procedure and Complications

895
DialyzersA hemodialysis (HD) dialyzer is a plastic cartridge containing thousands of parallel hollow fibers, which serve as semipermeable membranes. These fibers are typically made from cellulose-based or other synthetic materials. During HD, blood is pumped into the top of the cartridge and distributed among these fibers. Simultaneously, dialysis fluid, known as dialysate, is introduced into the bottom of the cartridge, bathing the outside of the fibers. Across the semipermeable membrane,...

Cancer Prevention

8.2K
Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.

Diabetes: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Complications

For most patients, experiencing several weeks of polyuria, polydipsia, fatigue, and significant weight loss may indicate the presence of diabetes. Furthermore, adults displaying the phenotypic appearance of type 2 diabetes (particularly those who are obese and not initially insulin-requiring), may have islet cell autoantibodies, suggesting autoimmune-mediated β cell destruction and a diagnosis of latent autoimmune diabetes of adults (LADA). The categorization of glucose homeostasis is...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Biomaterials Science

Background:

  • Revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) for taper corrosion is an increasingly frequent procedure.
  • Taper corrosion is a significant concern in THA, necessitating revision surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify common complications associated with revision THA for taper corrosion.
  • To outline preventive measures for these complications.

Main Methods:

  • A literature review was conducted.
  • The review focused on outcomes and complications of revision THA due to taper corrosion.

Main Results:

  • The primary modes of failure in revision THA for taper corrosion are the "4 I's": infection, instability, implant loosening, and ions (adverse local tissue reactions).
  • These failures are directly linked to the taper corrosion issue.

Conclusions:

  • Addressing each of the "4 I's" with targeted strategies is crucial.
  • Implementing specific preventive measures can substantially decrease complication rates in revision THA for taper corrosion.
