We have been using an imageless navigation in total hip arthroplasty (THA) since 2006. In our previous studies, we reported that the use of the initial version image-free navigation system (Orthopilot ver1.1, and Orthopilot THAplus B/BRAUN-Aesculap, Germany) could achieve satisfactory accuracy and consistency in cup positioning. However, the system of this version did not include the software t...

Joachim Braun: Nationalsozialistische Machtübernahme und Herrschaft im badischen Amtsbezirk Tauberbischofsheim. Wertheim 2014. (Veröffentlichungen des Historischen Vereins 8). 240 S.

BACKGROUND Hydnora abyssinica (HA) A. Braun is an endemic Sudanese medicinal plant traditionally used as anti-inflammatory and against many infectious diseases. However, it proved to be very rich in phenols and tannins, so the present study was undertaken to investigate the immunomodulatory potential of the whole plant ethanolic extract and its isolated compounds. METHODS Lymphocyte prolifera...

The authors hypothesized that an image-free navigation system would be more accurate than postoperative 3-dimensional (3-D) reconstructed computed tomography (CT) for acetabular cup inclination and anteversion during total hip arthroplasty (THA) in an Asian population. Eighty-one THAs were performed in 72 patients using the OrthoPilot image-free navigation system (B. Braun Aesculap, Tuttlingen,...

Infrared tympanic thermometers (ITTs) are easy to use and have a quick response time. They are widely used for temperature measurement of the human body. The accuracy and uncertainty of measurement is the importance performance indicator for these meters. The performance of two infrared tympanic thermometers, Braun THT-3020 and OMRON MC-510, were evaluated in this study. The cell of a temperatu...
