Replantation versus Prosthetic Fitting in Traumatic Arm Amputations: A Systematic Review. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Traumatic arm amputations can be treated with replantation or surgical formalization of the stump with or without subsequent prosthetic fitting. In the literature, many authors suggest the superiority of replantation.

Epidermolysis bullosa for primary care providers: A practical review

Journal of General and Family Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a group of genetic skin diseases, which manifest as fragile skin and blistering in addition to many extracutaneous conditions. Pediatricians and primary care providers play an integral role in managing these patients with multifaceted care needs.

Brain Energetics, Mitochondria, and Traumatic Brain Injury [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
We review current thinking about, and draw connections between, brain energetics and metabolism, mitochondria and traumatic brain injury. In addition to summarizing current thinking in these disciplines, our goal is to suggest a framework for mechanisms and pathways based on optimal energetic decisions.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Dental Pulp Assessment: A Comprehensive Review

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has recently emerged as a promising modality for dental applications, offering radiation‐free imaging with superior soft tissue visualization capabilities compared to x‐ray‐based techniques such as spiral or cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Novel Time Domain Based Upper-Limb Prosthesis Control using Incremental Learning Approach [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
The upper limb of the body is a vital for various kind of activities for human. The complete or partial loss of the upper limb would lead to a significant impact on daily activities of the amputees. EMG carries important information of human physique which helps to decode the various functionalities of human arm. EMG signal based bionics and prosthesis

Gramicidin and chlorhexidine encapsulated in bicontinuous microemulsions: Antimicrobial activity performance and their impact on self‐assembly

Journal of Surfactants and Detergents, EarlyView.
Interaction of gramicidin D (gD) and chlorhexidine (CH) with the surfactant monolayers of bicontinuous microemulsions. Abstract The utility of bicontinuous microemulsions (BMEs) as carriers of the antimicrobial peptide (AMP) gramicidin D and antiseptic chlorhexidine was investigated for possible topical delivery to chronic wounds.

Nonlinear dynamics of running: Speed, stability, symmetry and the effects of leg amputations [PDF]

arXiv, 2013
In this paper, we study dynamic stability during running, focusing on the effects of speed and the use of a leg prosthesis. We compute and compare the maximal Lyapunov exponents of kinematic time-series data from subjects with and without unilateral transtibial amputations running at a wide range of speeds. We find that the dynamics of the affected leg

Higher hospital volume reduces early failure rates in single‐stage revision TKR for infection: An analysis of the United Kingdom National Joint Registry and National Administrative Databases

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Revision knee replacement (RevKR) for infection is rare but increasing. It is hypothesised that higher hospital volume reduces adverse outcomes. The aim was to estimate the association of surgical unit volume with outcomes following first, single‐stage RevKR for infection. Methods This population‐based cohort study merged data from the
