Creep-induced changes in the microstructure, such as excessive grain-boundary secondary M23C6 and/or M6C carbides formation, and primary MC carbides decomposition, are noticeably more advanced in the reheat-treated alloys.
The two main reasons for better suitability of the right liver for ARFI sampling are the disruption of shear waves by excessive tissue motion secondary to cardiac pulsation affecting the left lobe, and readings in segments II/III are likely to be taken from tissue closer to the capsule, an area known to be more fibrous than deeper zones.
Current knowledge on the topography of lesions associated with the main sleep disorders in degenerative diseases is recalled, including REM sleep behavior disorders, restless legs syndrome and periodic leg movements, sleep apneas, insomnia, excessive daily sleepiness, secondary narcolepsy and disturbed sleep wake rhythms.
Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) is an autosomal recessive disorder leading to excessive iron stores secondary to increased intestinal iron absorption (McLaren et al. 1991).
There is an on-going debate regarding whether the CFTR mutation is itself pro-inflammatory or whether the excessive inflammation is secondary to bacterial infection.
Pachyostosis is the hyperplasy of bone deposition, leading to a swollen appearance of the bone, and osteosclerosis is the increase in inner bone compactness by an inhibition of cortical resorption and/or excessive deposition of secondary bone [ 29, 30]; pachyosteosclerosis is the combination of pachyostosis and osteosclerosis [ 29, 30].
Recent data suggest that the use of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) for preoperative cardiac assessment may provide suboptimal imaging fidelity secondary to excessive upper body adiposity.
Epidural fibrosis is a major challenge in spine surgery, with some patients having recurrent symptoms secondary to excessive formation of scar tissue resulting in neurologic compression.
The threefold cardiovascular mortality risk incurred by patients with mania may be a consequence of an increased stress burden (lifestyle, excessive activity, short sleep, secondary substance abuse, etc).. Nonetheless, patients with mania in our study lived longer than those with bipolar disorders and depression, because fewer of them died by suicide, shown by the SMRs.
Five patients had hereditary hemochromatosis and one had hemosiderosis secondary to excessive iron intake.
