Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) applications and technologies are fast advancing. New SCS technologies are being used increasingly in the clinical environment, but often there is a lag period between the clinical application and the publishing of high-quality evidence on safety and efficacy. Recent developments will undoubtedly expand the applicability of SCS, allowing more effective and individu...

Abstract Determinate the runoff of a watershed is challenge due to complexity representing all “inlets” and “outlets” involved in rainfall–runoff model. Therefore, methodologies applied for this purpose should have good representation variables that most influence process. One models used calculate design flow (USDA Urban Hydrology Small. Technical release, no 55 (TR-55). Soil Conservation Serv...

OBJECTIVES Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is an effective method of relieving chronic intractable pain, and one of its key indications is failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS). The objective of the current study was to evaluate the cost effectiveness of 10 kHz high-frequency SCS (HF10 SCS) compared to conventional medical management (CMM), reoperation, and traditional nonrechargeable (TNR-SCS) and...

As drenagens urbanas são um desafio para a engenharia em municípios brasileiros. O problema dialoga com qualidade de vida e segurança da população. Nesse contexto, estudar as boas práticas que envolvem projeto, dimensionamento execução é suma importância o meio técnico. presente trabalho objetivou comparação entre metodologias cálculo vazão projeto uma microbacia hidrográfica localizada no muni...

Rainfall runoff modeling is one of the most complex hydrological due to involvement different watershed physical parameters. It essential for analysis response towards received precipitation under influence variables. As it a replica response, Rainfall-Runoff evaluate general characteristics total surface at catchment’s outlet. The main objective this study was prediction rainfall using Hydrolo...

Purpose To determine the effect of injection volume and formulation of a microneedle injection into the suprachoroidal space (SCS) on SCS thickness and closure kinetics. Methods Microneedle injections containing 25 to 150 μL Hanks' balanced salt solution (HBSS) were performed in the rabbit SCS ex vivo. Distribution of SCS thickness was measured by ultrasonography and three-dimensional (3D) cr...

Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a clinical therapy for chronic, neuropathic pain, but an incomplete understanding of the mechanisms underlying SCS contributes to the lack of improvement in SCS efficacy over time. To study the mechanisms underlying SCS, we constructed a biophysically based network model of the dorsal horn circuit consisting of interconnected dorsal horn interneurons and a wide-...
