Influence of short implants geometry on primary stability.
2018
Background A correct design is needed in short implants to improve primary stability (PS) in low quality bone. This study aimed to compare PS of double thread and single thread short implants. Material and Methods Thirty implants with single thread design (PHI/SHORT-I) and 30 implants with double thread design (PHIA/SHORT-I) (Radhex®, Inmet-Garnick S.A., Guadalajara, Spain) were placed in 30 randomly selected bovine ribs. PS was assessed in implant stability quotients (ISQ) and periotest values (PV) with Osstell™ and Periotest® devices, respectively. Computed tomographies of the ribs were taken and bone quality was evaluated in Hounsfield Units (HU) using Ez3D Plus software (Vatech Co., Kor…
Conceptual Overview of an Anthropocentric Training Station for Manual Operations in Production
2019
Abstract The paper presents a conceptual overview of a human-centred training station for manual operations (ATASMO). It identifies the main users of the system but also the long-tern targeted features of ATASMO. Moreover, the current implementation, its limitations and future work on ATASMO is synthetically presented.
Dynamic Response of a Rigital Displacement Motor Operating with Various Displacement Strategies
2019
Digital displacement technology has the potential of revolutionizing the performance of hydraulic piston pumps and motors. Instead of connecting each cylinder chamber to high and low pressure in conjunction with the shaft position, two electrically-controlled on/off valves are connected to each chamber. This allows for individual cylinder chamber control. Variable displacement can be achieved by using different displacement strategies, like for example the full stroke, partial stroke, or sequential partial stroke displacement strategy. Each displacement strategy has its transient and steady-state characteristics. This paper provides a detailed simulation analysis of the transient and steady…
An algebraic approach for human posture estimation in the sagittal plane using accelerometer noisy signal
2012
International audience; Our aim is to develop an algebraic approach to estimate human posture in the sagittal plane using Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) providing accelerations and angular velocities. To do it so, we address the issue of the estimation of the amplitude, frequency and phase of a biased and noisy sum of three sinusoidal waveform signals on a moving time horizon. Since the length of the time window is small, the estimation must be done within a fraction of the signal's period. The problem is solved via algebraic techniques (see [38] for the theoretical part concerning this problem). The efficiency of our approach is illustrated by computer simulations.
Anästhesie bei Patienten mit Porphyrie
2019
Die Porphyrien sind eine Gruppe vorwiegend hereditarer Stoffwechselstorungen der Hambiosynthese. Die Betreuung eines Patienten mit akuter Porphyrie ist eine interdisziplinare Herausforderung, bei der die Anasthesie eine koordinierende Funktion erfullt. Da es fur die Porphyrien bislang keine kausale Therapie gibt, richtet sich das Vorgehen im akuten Schub nach dem klinischen Bild. Im anasthesiologischen Umfeld ist insbesondere auf die Verwendung „sicherer“ Medikamente zu achten!
Schmerzanamnese und Verhaltensanalyse
2017
In diesem Beitrag werden wir auf Voraussetzungen und Besonderheiten eingehen, die bei der psychologischen Anamnese von Patienten mit chronischen Schmerzen wichtig sind. Ausgehend von unseren eigenen Erfahrungen schlagen wir – nach einer kurzen theoretischen Einfuhrung – Strukturierungshilfen vor, geben Hinweise auf typische Hurden und Probleme und gehen auf mogliche weitere Konsequenzen fur die Patienten ein. Unsere Absicht ist es, vor allem praktische Hilfen und Hinweise sowie eine praxisnahe Anleitung mit beispielhaften Gesprachssequenzen und Vorschlagen zur Problemlosung zu geben.
Multimodal analgesia and regional anaesthesia
2017
Multimodal analgesia provides quality analgesia, with fewer side effects due to the use of combined analgesics or analgesic techniques. Regional anaesthesia plays a fundamental role in achieving this goal. The different techniques of regional anaesthesia that include both peripheral and central blocks in either a single dose or in continuous infusion help to modulate the nociceptive stimuli that access the central level. The emergence of the ultrasound as an effective system to perform regional anaesthesia techniques has allowed the development of new regional anaesthesia techniques that formerly could not be carried out since only neurostimulation or skin references were used. It is essent…
Auto-transplantation hépatique après résection ex-vivo pour échinococcose alvéolaire au stade terminal
2019
Resume La resection complete des lesions, associee a un traitement par albendazole pendant deux ans representent le traitement le plus efficace de l’echinococcose alveolaire hepatique (EAH). Seulement un petit nombre de patients peuvent beneficier d’une hepatectomie conventionnelle du fait de l’infiltration extensive des lesions hepatiques d’EAH et pour les autres patients un traitement par albendazole avec ou sans allotransplantation ou un traitement interventionnel non chirurgical doivent etre envisages. Bien que la transplantation soit consideree comme une option legitime pour des cas aussi avances, la penurie de donneurs d’organes, la necessite d’un traitement immunosuppresseur postoper…
Rehabilitación geriátrica: enfoque sistémico
2016
La rehabilitacion geriatrica esta destinada a evolucionar en un contexto de gran diversidad en la poblacion anciana. De los mas fuertes a los mas dependientes, pasando por los pacientes fragiles, la variabilidad de las capacidades sensoriomotoras y cognitivas de los ancianos justifica una evaluacion especifica. Respecto a las capacidades motoras, ya se usan diversas pruebas funcionales validadas. En este articulo se propone una evaluacion sistemica de la funcion de equilibrio basada en el envejecimiento de factores centrales (control motor) y de factores perifericos (sistema musculoesqueletico) y, de forma mas amplia, de la motricidad del anciano. Este analisis «por sistema», mas que por «f…
