Wearable pressure sensing for lower limb amputees [PDF]

, 2022
Pressure sensing in prosthetic sockets is valuable as it provides quantified data to assist prosthetists in designing comfortable sockets for amputees. We present a wearable pressure sensing system for lower limb amputees.

Amputations in Sepsis Patients: A Population‐Based Cohort Study of Rates and Risk Factors

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
This cohort study of 158 842 sepsis patients revealed that between 2015 and 2021 in NSW, 11 in every 1000 adult sepsis patients and two in every 1000 paediatric sepsis patients underwent amputation. Male adults under 85 years with diabetes or peripheral arterial disease were at a higher risk of amputation. ABSTRACT Background A rare and serious adverse
