ARC (Australian Rotator Cuff) trial: study protocol for a randomised placebo-controlled trial comparing rotator cuff repair to no repair during arthroscopic shoulder surgery for people with shoulder pain and non-acute rotator cuff tears. [PDF]

Trials
Background Degenerative rotator cuff tears are common and are often treated with surgical repair. Randomised trials have not shown a clear advantage to surgery over non-surgical treatment, but there have been no published placebo-controlled trials ...

Relationship between difference in endotracheal tube cuff area and airway area with minimum cuff pressure for adequate airway sealing: a prospective observational study. [PDF]

Sci Rep
It is essential for clinicians to select the appropriate endotracheal tube to ensure effective airway management. However, an unmatched endotracheal tube cuff area to the airway area can lead to air or secretion leakage, even at the recommended cuff ...

Acute Effects of Different Blood Flow Restriction Protocols on Bar Velocity During the Squat Exercise

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
The main goal of the present study was to evaluate the effects of different blood flow restriction (BFR) protocols (continuous and intermittent) on peak bar velocity (PV) and mean bar velocity (MV) during the squat exercise at progressive loads, from 40 ...

Implementation and validation of a novel noninvasive blood pressure measurement algorithm based on oscillometric method with obtaining international hypertension standards

Journal of Medical Signals and Sensors, 2022
Background: One of the most prevalent methods in noninvasive blood pressure (BP) measurement with cuff is oscillometric, which has two different types of deflation, including linear and step deflation. With this approach, in addition to designing a novel

Feasibility of Brachial Occlusion Technique for Beat-to-Beat Pulse Wave Analysis

Sensors, 2022
Czech physiologist Penaz tried to overcome limitations of invasive pulse-contour methods (PCM) in clinical applications by a non-invasive method (finger mounted BP cuff) for continuous arterial waveform detection and beat-to-beat analysis. This discovery

Airway Management in Pediatric Patients: Cuff-Solved Problem?

Children, 2022
Traditionally, uncuffed tubes were used in pediatric patients under 8 years in pursuit of reducing the risk of postextubation stridor. Although computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging studies confirmed that the subglottic area remains the ...

Experimental and Numerical Testing of Ambient Temperature Impact on Lifespans of Cuffs of Vehicles’ Steering Systems

Applied Sciences, 2020
The steering system represents one of the most important systems of active safety in vehicles. The process of a steering system failure usually starts with the failure of its protective element (cuff).
