New Mechanics of Traumatic Brain Injury [PDF]

arXiv, 2008
The prediction and prevention of traumatic brain injury is a very important aspect of preventive medical science. This paper proposes a new coupled loading-rate hypothesis for the traumatic brain injury (TBI), which states that the main cause of the TBI is an external Euclidean jolt, or SE(3)-jolt, an impulsive loading that strikes the head in several ...

The Multilevel Limb‐loss and Preservation Rehabilitation Continuum model (MLPRC): An evidence‐based implementation model integrating multiple perspectives to improve outcomes for people facing limb loss

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The patient journey from threatened to actual limb loss, subsequent rehabilitation, and limb preservation through the health system is complicated and prone to delays, attrition, and inequities. A shared multi(socioecological)‐level conceptualization of this journey among the multiple stakeholders is the first step for ...

Voluntary phantom hand and finger movements in transhumeral amputees could be used to naturally control polydigital prostheses [PDF]

2017 International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics (ICORR), Jul 2017, London, France. pp.1239-1245, 2019
An arm amputation is extremely invalidating since many of our daily tasks require bi-manual and precise control of hand movements. Perfect hand prostheses should therefore offer a natural, intuitive and cognitively simple control over their numerous biomimetic active degrees of freedom. While efficient polydigital prostheses are commercially available,

A Novel Stochastic Transformer-based Approach for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Detection using Audio Recording of Clinical Interviews [PDF]

2023 IEEE 36th International Symposium on Computer-Based Medical Systems (2023) 700-705
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental disorder that can be developed after witnessing or experiencing extremely traumatic events. PTSD can affect anyone, regardless of ethnicity, or culture. An estimated one in every eleven people will experience PTSD during their lifetime.

Ultrastructural changes in peripheral arteries and nerves in diabetic ischemic lower limbs, by electron microscope

Alexandria Journal of Medicine, 2017
Background: The results of “light and electron microscopic study” of the peripheral arteries and nerves biopsies in diabetic neuropathy comparing with biopsies of normal arteries and nerves of traumatic amputation as a control group.

RPA equations and the instantaneous Bethe-Salpeter equation [PDF]

arXiv, 1993
We give a derivation of the particle-hole RPA equations for an interacting multi-fermion system by applying the instantaneous approximation to the amputated two-fermion propagator of the system. In relativistic field theory the same approximation leads from the fermion-antifermion Bethe-Salpeter equation to the Salpeter equation.

Extra-anatomic temporary intravascular shunting to assist with replantation of an amputated hand with prolonged ischemic time

Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques, 2022
Although temporary intravascular shunting has been reported to assist with hand revascularization and replantation after traumatic amputation, most reports have described using ipsilateral upper limb inflow.

Chronic pain management in a dairy cow with deep digital sepsis

Veterinary Record Case Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract This case report describes a cow with a penetrating foreign body in the sole horn of its medial claw of the right forelimb, leading to sequestration and necrosis of the pedal bone and subsequent chronic pain. The surgical interventions, multimodal pain management and development of the gait pattern over more than 6 weeks are described. The cow

Flexible frontiers for text division into rows [PDF]

Ann. Univ. Tibiscus Comp. Sci. Series VII(2009),199-204, 2009
This paper presents an original solution for flexible hand-written text division into rows. Unlike the standard procedure, the proposed method avoids the isolated characters extensions amputation and reduces the recognition error rate in the final stage.
