introduction: fractures of the orbital floor, which are caused by various mechanisms, result in the herniation of periorbital tissue into the paranasal sinuses and its subsequent complications. early diagnosis using various techniques and reduction of fractures are necessary to preserve ocular function and esthetic. use of an endoscope has been associated with some advantages, including a decre...

Orbital fractures commonly occur in maxillofacial trauma causing enophthalmos and diplopia. If not properly managed the cosmetic and functional problems can virtually become untreatable. In recent years, management of these fractures has been standardized with special emphasis on methods of treatment, timing and materials used for reduction.

PURPOSE We determined whether chronic testicular pain is related to pelvic floor overactivity after ruling out other disease pathology. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 41 patients with chronic testicular pain evaluated at our Pelvic Floor Department at a tertiary academic center were included in this retrospective study. All patients underwent standard pelvic floor investigation, including h...

With the advances in a variety of software/hardware technologies and wireless networking, there is coming a need for ubiquitous collaboration which allows people to access information systems independent of their access device and their physical capabilities and to communicate with other people in anytime and anywhere. Also, with the maturity of evolving computing paradigms and collaborative ap...

Die Vision der Industrie 4.0 umfasst einerseits cyberphysische Systeme im Feld und andererseits zentrale leistungsfähige ERP Systeme. Technisch scheint der Weg dahin einigermaßen klar zu sein. Man benötigt objektidentifizierende Sensorik und Aktuatorik im Feld, um einen konkreten technischen Vorgang einem übergeordneten Prozess zuordnen zu können. Dazu kann z.B. RFID genutzt werden. Weiterhin w...

This paper proposes a high resolution sensor floor which can detect both humans and robots simultaneously. Each sensor floor unit is 500mm square and is equipped with 4,096 pressure switches distributed in a 64 ×64 array. A 2m by 2m sensor floor with 16 of these sensor floor units has been realized. Experiments with this sensor floor have determined successfully the positions of a human and a 4...

A total number of 66 day old Japanese quail chicks divided into 2 treatment groups (33 in each treatment) with 3 replications in each having 11 birds (male, 5 and female, 6) were reared on floor and in cage system for a period of 5 weeks to know the effect of rearing system on growth performance and carcass characteristics. At the age of 35 days, average body weight and feed intake were 102.15 ...

Aims of Study This study aimed to investigate the relationship of pelvic floor muscle and transversus abdominis (TA) muscle activity during a pelvic floor (PF) muscle contraction. Sapsford et al (1) investigated this relationship using EMG and found there to be consistent co-contraction between these two muscles. Due to this finding, it has been hypothesised that the pelvic floor muscles can be...
