conclusions although skin traction had no effect on analgesic consumption, it significantly decreased the pain at the end of the first day. the application of skin traction in patients with intertrochanteric fractures is recommended. results the severity of pain was significantly decreased in skin traction group only at the end of the first day after traction application (2.7 ± 0.8 vs. 3.3 ± 0....

Dual-specificity tyrosine-regulated kinase 1A (DYRK1A) is a candidate gene for the Down syndrome neurological defects and may be involved in the progression of Alzheimer's disease. Heterozygous mice for Dyrk1A (Dyrk1A+/-) exhibit decreased brain size, motor abnormalities and cognitive deficits in the adult. However, there is no information about the mutant phenotype in old ages. Here we analyze...

UNLABELLED Sectioned facial nerves can be repaired with grafting or end-to-end anastomosis. OBJECTIVE To discuss these repair procedures and what can be expected of them. METHOD Seven patients with sectioned facial nerves were included in the study. Four underwent grafting and three were offered end-to-end anastomosis. Facial nerve palsy was iatrogenic in five patients and was caused by bul...

background: traction has been suggested to be an effective treatment for symptoms of neck disorder in patients with no contraindications. however, according to previous researches, the effectiveness of traction is controversial, particularly compared to other conservative treatments. this trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of sustained traction, using an over-the-door home cervical trac...

In the design of the rotor of an interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM), the bridge between the permanent magnets helps prevent the scattering of permanent magnets and pole pieces during high-speed operation. In the design of a motor, if the bridge is too thick, its performance will be largely degraded because of flux leakage. Additionally, if the bridge is too thin, its mechanical...

Kaye, M. D. (1974). Thorax, 29, 666-672. Oesophageal motor dysfunction in patients with diverticula of the mid-thoracic oesophagus. Oesophageal motor function was assessed by a perfused catheter manometric system in a consecutive series of 12 patients with diverticula located in the mid-thoracic oesophagus. In only one of the 12 patients was there radiographic evidence of prior tuberculous infe...

The historical manufacturer of electric traction machines for trams and trolleybuses, the innovative commercial company UMEB, has initiated a joint project with National Institute Research Development Electrical Engineering ICPE-CA, to design produce new line that achieve desired power, starting torque, speed range operating temperatures. Following requests received by UMEB from integrators veh...

This article presents a ground breaking traction drive for fuel cell-powered light rail vehicles based on multilevel cascade converter with H-bridge cells. The provides dc–ac power conversion unique buck–boost capability to compensate the variation of cell terminal voltage load power. In comparison conventional boost inverter, connection dc–dc and source proposed has significant benefits much s...

This article proposes an energy-efficiency strategy based on the optimization of driving patterns for electric vehicle (EV). The EV studied in this paper is a commercial only driven by traction motor. motor drives front wheels indirectly through differential drive. electrical inverter model and power-train efficiency are established lookup tables determined power tests dynamometric bank. proble...
