Shoulder pain is common, especially with overhead tasks. A common misconception is that the rotator cuff should be trained with internal and external rotation exercises. The shoulder girdle is complex due to it’s inherent instability. This allows a tremendous range of mobility, but comes with a price. Namely, overuse injuries from repetitive strain especially with lifting, throwing, striking, e...

Turbine machinery has an extraordinary wide range of applications in the aviation, aerospace, automotive, energy and many other industries. The turbine blade is one of the most important parts of turbine machinery, and the characteristic parameters, pressure ratio of the engine and rotating speed of the turbine are all related to the shape and size of blades. Therefore, the profile measurement ...

Purpose: In shoulder-MRI the radiologist is often confronted with involuntary patient movement which might produce artifacts and consecutively non-diagnostic images using conventional TSE sequences with common Cartesian block-wise linear readout of k-space. Recently a multishot T2weighted sequence based on rotating rectangular read-out of k-space data after successive radiofrequency excitations...

BACKGROUND Locking plate fixation of displaced fractures of the proximal humerus is still accompanied by a distinct complication rate, especially in case of osteoporotic bone, short-segment fracture length and comminution of the medial calcar. Secondary loss of reduction leading to varus deformity and screw cutout most frequently lead to surgical revision. The aim of the present study was to ev...

The genetic pathways underlying shoulder blade development are largely unknown, as gene networks controlling limb morphogenesis have limited influence on scapula formation. Analysis of mouse mutants for Pbx and Emx2 genes has suggested their potential roles in girdle development. In this study, by generating compound mutant mice, we examined the genetic control of scapula development by Pbx gen...

This paper presents the preliminary steps required for conducting experiments to obtain the optimal operating conditions of a hybrid impeller mixer and to determine the residence time distribution (RTD) using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). In this paper, impeller speed and clearance parameters are examined. The hybrid impeller mixer consists of a single Rushton turbine mounted above a sing...
