New treatment for stress urinary incontinence

2003

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Zuidex implacement for the treatment of type III incontinence. Methods: We evaluated 36 women (median age 51) with type III ( MUCP<20 cm H2O and VLPP<60 cm H2O), with fixed urethra demonstrated (Delta Value<30 at Q-tip test). 21 (58.3%) had undergone previous continence surgery .They were recluted by a complete urogynaecological work-up( Vaginal profile, Q- tip test, Endoscopy and Urodynamic study, one hour Pad test, Ultrasonography). We defined as cured patients that were dry after the implant was performed, and as improved those who decreased in number of pads and symptoms.We underwent all patients an intrauret…

3D Displacements and Strains Solid Measurement based on the Surface Texture with a Scanner Laser

2013

International audience; The developments of non-contact measurement are today widely due to the unprecedented progress of optronic. The applications of these techniques are wide and varied for the 3D measurement of industrial products. In addition to the forms and dimensions, we show in this paper that the devices of laser scanning permit to measure displacements and deformations. In this case, it is necessary to follow a solid particle in its motion. It is then necessary to identify the particle between two configurations of the body before and after displacement. The method of greyscale patterns, obtained by applying a spray, is generally used. The originality of the proposed method is ba…

Strain fields measurement of non-rigid solid by scanning laser coupled with camera

2013

International audience; Abstract. Today, the techniques of measurement without contact by scanning laser are increasingly used. These techniques allow to measure 3D objects without contact and the measurement rates can reach few thousand points by second that is very adapted to complex shapes. To measure displacements and deformations, it is necessary to follow a solid particle in its motion between two configurations of the body before and after displacement. The method of stereovision based on grayscale patterns, obtained by applying a spray, is generally used. The results are obtained by two correlations: spatial and temporal correlations. An alternative method consists to use a scanner …

Modelling of laser beam texturing process: experimental and numerical approaches

2007

The aim of this work is to reache a better control of the laser beam surface texturing process on three materials: 304L, TA6V and AA6056 alloys. For this purpose, two complementary methods, experimental and numerical modelling, have been used. As a result of the experimental design approach, it was observed that the laser surface texturing process of 304L and TA6V alloys is strongly influenced by the pulse energy and frequency. In order to obtain a surface roughness Sa < 5 µm for the highest possible productivity it is necessary to work with an energy of 5 mJ and a frequency ranging between 10 and 12 kHz. Unfortunately, for aluminium alloy AA6056, it is necessary to make a choice between ha…

Calculating the long-term displacement rates of a normal fault from the high-resolution stratigraphic record (early Tethyan rifting, French Alps)

2003

Displacement rates of normal faults deduced from stratigraphic data are often unreliable. Here we calculate the velocity of motion on a normal fault from the variations in accommodation potential on both sides of the fault within a highresolution time-frame established by biostratigraphy and physical stratigraphy. Our example is the Ornon normal fault bounding the Early Jurassic Bourg-d’Oisans Basin formed during Tethyan rifting. We show that motion on the fault was discontinuous when examined at high resolution and over a long time interval. During a first interval (Hettangian to Sinemurian Arietites bucklandi zone) a low rate of displacement (= 202–423 m Myr -1 ) coeval with diffused exte…

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation leads to physiological gains enhancing postural balance in the pre‐frail elderly

2015

International audience; Physiological aging leads to a progressive weakening of muscles and tendons, thereby disturbing the ability to control postural balance and consequently increasing exposure to the risks of falls. Here, we introduce a simple and easy-to-use neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) training paradigm designed to alleviate the postural control deficit in the elderly, the first hallmarks of which present as functional impairment. Nine pre-frail older women living in a long-term care facility performed 4 weeks of NMES training on their plantarflexor muscles, and seven nontrained, non-frail older women living at home participated in this study as controls. Participants w…

Les déplacements des Lédoniens

L a mise en service d' une liaison routière rapide ou d' une ligne TGV est susceptible de transformer la géographie des déplacements et, par là même, de modifier l' organisation spatiale d' une région dans la mesure où elle conduit à l'émergence de nouvelles pratiques.
