Abstract

Mikey Madison, known for her role in the film Anora, is featured in a Rolling Stone article. The article discusses her preparation for the physically demanding role, including learning Russian, mastering pole dancing, and working with a dialect coach. Madison's portrayal of a tough yet sweet Russian American sex worker has garnered praise, particularly for her convincing performance. The article also highlights her dedication to portraying the character honestly and respectfully, especially in intimate scenes. [Extracted from the article]

Abstract

The Varina-Enon Bridge is a cable-stayed, precast, segmental, post-tensioned box girder bridge located in Richmond, Virginia. Inspectors noticed flexural cracking in July of 2012 that prompted concerns regarding long-term prestress losses in the structure. Prestress losses could impact the future performance, serviceability, and flexural strength of the bridge. Accurately quantifying prestress losses is critical for understanding and maintaining the structure during its remaining service life. Long-term prestress losses are estimated in the Varina-Enon Bridge using two methods. The first utilizes a time-dependent staged-construction analysis in a finite element model of the full structure to obtain predicted prestress losses using the CEB-FIP '90 code expressions for creep and shrinkage. The second method involves collecting data from instrumentation installed in the bridge that is used to back-calculate the effective prestress force. The prestress losses predicted by the finite element model were 44.9 ksi in Span 5, 47.8 ksi in Span 6, and 45.3 ksi in Span 9. The prestress losses estimated from field data were 50.0 ksi in Span 5, 48.0 ksi in Span 6, and 46.7 ksi in Span 9. The field data estimates were consistently greater than the finite element model predictions, but the discrepancies are relatively small. Therefore, the methods used to estimate the effective prestress from field data are validated. In addition, long-term prestress losses in the Varina-Enon Bridge are not significantly greater than expected. Master of Science Post-tensioned concrete uses stressed steel strands to apply a precompression force to concrete structures. This popular building technology can be used to create lighter, stiffer structures. Over time, the steel strands experience a reduction in force known as prestress losses. Accurately quantifying prestress losses is critical for understanding and maintaining a structure during its remaining service life. The Varina-Enon Bridge is a cable-stayed, prestressed box girder bridge located in Richmond, Virginia. Inspectors noticed cracking in July of 2012 that prompted concerns regarding long-term prestress losses in the structure. Prestress losses were estimated using two methods. The first method utilized a computer model of the full bridge. The second method used data from sensors installed on the bridge to back calculate prestress losses. It was found that the prestress losses estimated from field data were slightly greater than, but closely aligned with, the computer model results. Therefore, it was concluded that the Varina-Enon Bridge has not experienced significantly more prestress losses than expected.

Abstract

Objective. Renal angioinfarction (RAI) has been used for various indications in the management of renal tumors. While historically used for palliation of local symptoms (pain or hematuria), this technique has theoretical use in facilitating radical nephrectomy by allowing early ligation of the renal vein, decreasing blood loss and creating edema in resection planes. A common impediment to embolization is the development of postembolization syndrome (PES), which has been reported to have an incidence as high as 89%. This study reports the authors' experience with RAI as a safe palliative and adjunctive procedure over 4 years. Material and methods. From 2008 to 2011, 113 patients underwent complete RAI at Washington Hospital Center for palliative or adjunctive therapy by an interventional radiologist. Procedures were performed in a radiology suite using mild sedation with vascular access obtained by femoral artery puncture. RAI was performed by subsegmental injection of polyvinyl alcohol particles. Results. All 113 patients underwent successful RAI with confirmation of total arterial flow ablation via postprocedure arteriogram: 38 underwent embolization for preoperative adjunctive therapy, 34 for palliation of renal mass, 36 for trauma/hemorrhage and five for symptomatic renal artery pseudoaneurysm after partial nephrectomy. PES occurred in 33 out of 75 patients (44.0%), with symptomatic PES in only two patients (2.6%). No major complications (>Clavien grade III) occurred. Thirty-eight patients were excluded from analysis as they underwent radical nephrectomy within 24 h, preventing accurate assessment of PES. Conclusions. RAI is a safe and reliable procedure for palliation of renal masses, as an adjunctive procedure for radical nephrectomy, and for conservative management of renal hemorrhage or aneurysm. PES occurs in relatively few patients, with no major complications, and should not impede clinical consideration of this procedure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
