Sensory Feedback in Hand Prostheses: A Prospective Study of Everyday Use

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2020
IntroductionSensory feedback in hand prostheses is lacking but wished for. Many amputees experience a phantom hand map on their residual forearm. When the phantom hand map is touched, it is experienced as touch on the amputated hand.

Cyclic model for the dg dual of the BV operad [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
We describe a new small cyclic operad model QBV for the dg dual operad of the Batalin-Vilkovisky operad. As an application, we show that the Feynman transform of BV is quasi-isomorphic to the amputated Feynman transform of the dg dual, in complementary weights and degrees.

Technical aspects of an impact acceleration traumatic brain injury rat model with potential suitability for both microdialysis and PtiO2 monitoring [PDF]

Journal of Neuroscience Methods 140, 1-2 (2004) 23-8, 2007
This report describes technical adaptations of a traumatic brain injury (TBI) model-largely inspired by Marmarou-in order to monitor microdialysis data and PtiO2 (brain tissue oxygen) before, during and after injury. We particularly focalize on our model requirements which allows us to re-create some drastic pathological characteristics experienced by ...

Pyoderma Gangrenosum of the Hand: Unique Experience and Literature Review

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 15, Issue 1, Page 362-365, January 2023., 2023
Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is usually a rare disease. However, knowledge of the disease is essential to actively consider PG at an early stage to help facilitate immediate treatment and avoid unnecessary interventions that may worsen the outcome. Background Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a reactive, noninfectious, neutrophilic dermatosis.
