Refer to Design Step 1 for introductory information about this design example. Additional information is presented about the design assumptions, methodology, and criteria for the entire bridge, including the steel girder. Figure 3-1 Span Configuration. Figure 3-2 Superstructure Cross Section.
HYPOFLUORESCENCE Hypofluorescence may be caused by 1) blocked fluorescence, which is synonymous with negative fluorescence or transmission decrease, or 2) a vascular filling defect. Blocked fluorescence corresponds to the size, shape, and location of the blocking material seen ophthalmoscopically.
Causes. Hypoalbuminemia can result from decreased albumin production, defective synthesis because of hepatocyte damage, deficient intake of amino acids, increased losses of albumin via GI or renal processes, and, most commonly, acute or chronic inflammation. Some of the many causes are discussed below.
