Does micro-MR imaging-based computational biomechanics demonstrate reduction in cortical and trabecular bone strength after renal transplantation?
MR imaging-based micro-finite-element analysis suggests that stiffness and failure strength of the distal tibia decrease over a 6-month interval after renal transplantation.
Expenditure on facility-based delivery greatly increased in rural China over 1998-2007 because of greater use of higher-level facilities, more Caesarean deliveries and the introduction of the New Cooperative Medical Scheme. The financial burden on the rural poor remained high.
