چکیده

La documentation scientifique a fait l’objet d’une recherche dans le but de trouver des publications pertinentes sur la validité, la fiabilité et l’utilisation de l’épreuve au diapason pour déceler des fractures de stress simples. Cette recherche a été effectuée dans plusieurs bases de données : Medline 1966–1998, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) 1982–1997, Science Citation Index 1961–1997, Index to chiropractic literature 1980–1998 et Chiropractic Research Archives Collection 1984–1990. Différents mots clés ont servi à la recherche : diapason, vibration, fracture, fracture de stress. Les fruits de cette recherche ont été bien maigres : la documentation sur l’utilisation du diapason pour déceler des fractures s’est révélée très rare et aucune étude n’a été menée sur la validité et la fiabilité de la méthode pour déceler des fractures simples. Il faut donc en conclure qu’une étude sur l’épreuve au diapason s’impose puisqu’elle a déjà servi au diagnostic de fractures simples. (JACC 1999; 43(2):120–124)

Reliability of Semmes-Weinstein Monofilaments and Tuning Fork on Pressure and Vibration Sensation Measurements in Diabetic Patients

Objectives: Sensory neuropathy is the major cause of ulceration in diabetic patients. Periodical sensory examination is an appropriate method to detect neuropathy and decrease the risk of diabetic foot ulcer. Semmes–Weinstein Monofilaments (SWM) and tuning fork on/off test are widely used to assess pressure and vibration sensitivity. The present study evaluated the inter- and intra-rater reliab...

An Improvement over Random Early Detection Algorithm: A Self-Tuning Approach

Random Early Detection (RED) is one of the most commonly used Active Queue Management (AQM) algorithms that is recommended by IETF for deployment in the network. Although RED provides low average queuing delay and high throughput at the same time, but effectiveness of RED is highly sensitive to the RED parameters setting. As network condition varies largely, setting RED's parameters with fixed ...
