Human embryonic stem cells [hESCs] are able to differentiate into specific lineages corresponding to regulated spatial and temporal signals. This unique attribute holds great promise for regenerative medicine and cell-based therapy for many human diseases such as spinal cord injury [SCI] and multiple sclerosis [MS]. Carbon nanotubes [CNTs] have been successfully used to promote neuronal differentiation, and silk has been widely applied in tissue engineering. This study aims to build silk-CNT composite ...

This study was designed to provide evidence that computer-navigated minimally invasive total knee arthroplasty (MIS CN-TKA) enables identical mechanical accuracy as conventional computer navigated total knee arthroplasty (CN-TKA) while reducing rehabilitation time and hospital stay of the patients. Two groups of 20 patients requiring total knee arthroplasty due to degenerative or posttraumatic knee osteoarthritis were included. Twenty consecutive patients received conventional CN-TKA and 20 consecutive ...

Computer-navigated total knee arthroplasty is aimed at improving accuracy in the positioning of prosthetic components and realigning the lower limb. The optimal position and orientation of the bone resection planes are targeted by the navigation system, but, after these are obtained, additional manual surgical actions, which may considerably affect final component alignment, are necessary for implantation. The aim of this study was to measure the alignment deviation caused by standard impaction ...

Background: Mild head injury (MHI) implies a risk for traumatic brain injury and even a small risk for development of an intracranial hematoma. Head computed tomography (CT) is recommended for early detection of such pathologic findings. The present multicenter study was performed to investigate whether determination of protein S100B in serum could contribute to the selection of patients for CT scanning. Methods: We included 226 patients with a history of head injury and a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) ...

The number of minor traumatic brain injury (mTBI), cerebral concussions, is increasing and cannot be eliminated by any kind of equipment. Prevention strategies, such as the introduction of "checking from behind" rules have become effective in decreasing the number of severe spinal injuries. A new "head checking" rule should reduce mTBI in the same way in the following years. Mouthguards should be mandatory as an effective device for the prevention of dental and orofacial injuries, as well as reducing ...

Our purpose was to evaluate the reliability of preoperative case histories, clinical findings, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans in substantiating the diagnosis of Morton's neuroma and in predicting clinical outcomes after surgical intermetatarsal neurectomy. We studied 19 consecutive patients with histologically proved Morton's neuroma. All had preoperative MRI of the forefoot. Partial neurectomy was performed when there was forefoot pain with transmetatarsal compression and positive findings ...

We have compared the efficacy of patient-controlled interscalene analgesia (PCIA) using ropivacaine with patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) using nicomorphine in 60 patients (n = 30 in each group), in a prospective, randomized study. In both groups, all patients received interscalene block with 0.75% ropivacaine before induction of anaesthesia. Six hours after interscalene block, patients in group PCIA received continuous infusion of 0.2% ropivacaine at a rate of 5 ml h-1 with a bolus dose of 3 or 4 ...

Ongoing advances in established technologies, together with recent commercial applications of residue fluid catalytic cracking (RFCC), automated residue demetallization, solvent deasphalting and gasification of pitch and coke, have markedly enhanced options for processing and economically using residues. Key long-term driving forces for processing strategies are: the need for flexibility to handle heavy, high-metals crude oils, and the economic benefit of being able to convert low-value residues ...

Background The authors compared patient-controlled interscalene analgesia (PCIA) with local anesthetics with intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) with opioids to manage postoperative pain after major shoulder surgery. Methods Forty patients scheduled for elective major shoulder surgery were prospectively randomized to receive either PCIA or PCA. Before surgery, all patients had an interscalene block. In the PCIA group, a catheter was introduced within the interscalene sheath. Six hours after ...

Although the existence of the critical ionization velocity (CIV) is known from laboratory experiments, no agreement has been reached as to whether CIV exists in the natural space environment. In this paper we move towards more realistic models of CIV and present the first fully three‐dimensional, electromagnetic particle‐in‐cell Monte‐Carlo collision (PIC‐MCC) simulations of typical space‐based CIV experiments. In our model, the released neutral gas is taken to be a spherical cloud traveling across ...

This work investigates the current–voltage characteristics of a highly negatively biased, isolated probe in the plasma wake of a much larger, unbiased object. The system is investigated for both flowing and stationary plasmas. For the stationary plasma case, spherical probe theory and a simple correction factor to account for the shadow of the plate adequately explain the results. The introduction of a flowing plasma leads to a much more complicated situation. In this case, since the potential field ...

The concept of the “critical ionization velocity” (CIV) of a neutral gas has received much attention since it was proposed by Alfvén. In the last several years, numerical simulations have been a useful method of examining the physical mechanism behind CIV. Since these simulations have been run using explicit particle‐in‐cell (PIC) codes, artificial mass ratios (e.g. m i / m e = 100) have been employed to reduce the time scales in the simulation and the computational power required for the problem. However, ...
