Presentation at the SAIMM online conference, 15 - 26 November 2021: Global tailings standards and opportunities for the mine of the future

Background Physical exercise is an intervention that might protect against doxorubicin‐induced cardiotoxicity. In this meta‐analysis and systematic review, we aimed to estimate the effect of exercise on doxorubicin‐induced cardiotoxicity and to evaluate mechanisms underlying exercise‐mediated cardioprotection …

This paper aims to quantify the evolution of damage in masonry walls under induced seismicity. A damage index equation, which is a function of the evolution of shear slippage and opening of the mortar joints, as well as of the drift ratio of masonry walls, was proposed herein. Initially, a dataset of …

The research concerns a currently developed project of implementing a tidal power harnessing system in the structure of Brouwersdam. The system would exploit hydraulic head difference between two water bodies and using gravity caused flow, generate electricity. As a side-effect to such system, hydraulic …

Cerebral palsy is the most common motor disability in early childhood with 29% of patients suffering from hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy. Constraint-induced movement therapy is a proven unimanual intervention to improve upper limb function focusing on the affected side while hand-arm bimanual intensive therapy …

Cancer was diagnosed in 19.292.789 patients worldwide in 2020, depending on the type of cancer treatment may involve chemotherapy. If a neurotoxic agent is used, patients can develop chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) affecting 68% of patients within the first months of treatment. CIPN …

Background & aims: Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) supplementation has been proposed as a potential therapy for cancer-related malnutrition, which affects up to 70% of patients with cancer. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to examine the effects of oral omega-3 PUFA supplementation …

Purpose of review Serum or plasma citrulline levels are used as biomarker for a broad spectrum of intestinal functions. During high-dose chemotherapy, citrulline levels are decreased due to mucositis, a common side effect of chemotherapy. This may decrease intestinal function and result in diarrhea. …

BACKGROUND: We recently developed a model of stratified exercise therapy, consisting of (i) a stratification algorithm allocating patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) into one of the three subgroups ('high muscle strength subgroup' representing a post-traumatic phenotype, 'low muscle strength subgroup' …

IL22 is an important cytokine involved in the intestinal defense mechanisms against microbiome. By using ileum-derived organoids, we show that the expression of anti-microbial peptides (AMPs) and anti-viral peptides (AVPs) can be induced by IL22. In addition, we identified a bacterial and a viral route, …
