I watched a nature documentary the other day in which a group of ants took down a well-armored grasshopper, or at least drove it off, by biting it all over until they found the soft joints.
This method sets up a three-dimensional model, including the foundation soil, immersed tube tunnel, and soft joints, but there are disadvantages such as a larger workload and poor adaptability of the super-long immersed tube tunnels [77, 78].
These deposits form gouty tophus or calculus in soft tissues, joint cavities and renal tubules, causing gouty arthritis and impairing renal function.
Reported signs of infection along with focal growth of the same microbe as in blood culture was taken as a confirmation of skin, soft tissue, joint or surgical infection.
Harrison and Symmons studied different outcomes in inflammatory arthritis in the Norfolk Arthritis Register and defined remission of synovitis as no soft tissue joint swelling and no treatment with DMARDs or steroids within the previous three months [ 10].
The functions of soft vein joints in dragonfly flight are concluded.
A three-dimensional (3D) finite element model of dragonfly wing considering the soft vein joints is developed, with some simplifications.
In passive deformation, the chordwise flexibility is improved by soft vein joints and the wing is cambered under loads, increasing the action area with air.
The latter often results in calcification of soft tissue, joints, blood vessels and internal viscera, such as myocardium, lung, liver and kidney.
After a further month of therapy there is often an improvement in soft-tissues joint contractures and the beginning of a growth spurt.
