... deduced. The nitrogen liquid test experiment verified the possibility of pump seal failure and identified the fault modes. It confirmed that the piston rod seal is one of the critical components prone to failure in the liquid hydrogen pump. Subsequently, six important technical optimization measures...

... arginine with a polar-neutral, bulkier tryptophan, while E1883K reverses charge at critical filament loci. Both would be expected to disrupt the core and the outer shell of the backbone structure. Replacing L1793 with a proline, a potent breaker of α-helices, could disturb the coiled-coil of the myosin rod...

... that generates and maintains the membrane curvature that shapes rod and cone OS disk rims [ 7 ]. It does so by assembling into an extended tridentate scaffold [ 8 ], which includes the homologous interaction partner rom1 [ 9 , 10 ]. Multi-step assembly of peripherin-2 and rom1 is mediated by each protein’s...

The “kickstand rod” is a recently described technique to achieve and maintain significant coronal-plane correction. ⁴ Also, of secondary benefit, the kickstand rod may function as an accessory supplemental rod to offload stress and bolster primary instrumentation. This may reduce occurrence of rod...

BACKGROUND There is no agreement on frequency of distractions of magnetically controlled growing rods (MCGRs) but more frequent and smaller amounts of distractions mimic physiological spine growth. The mid- to long-term follow-up and management at skeletal maturity is unknown. OBJECTIVE To analyze...
