Semi-active control systems have been widely studied over the last 20 years. The range of applications includes automotive suspensions, seismic vibration mitigation, large bridges vibration control, knee prosthesis, among others. Semi-active actuators have a complex dynamics, and interaction between actuator and plant cannot be ignored in control design. This is specially true for magneto-rheol...

Background: Global blindness is mainly due to Cataract, after this Corneal disease the major cause. For end stage corneal disease, only successful treatment by providing Osteo-Odonto-Kerato-Prosthesis (OOKP). The dental surgeon will play a vital role in surgeon. After extracting canine tooth from patient, places acrylic lamina centre of dentine (Dental Lamina) which acts like an ocular lens, la...

UNLABELLED Accurate iris reproduction in the fabrication of ocular prosthesis in order to match the remaining eye is a key factor to mask the loss and achieve an esthetic outcome for anophthalmic patients. This study evaluated the stability of acrylic paints used for replicating iris color in ocular prostheses by the analysis of two factors: the temperature of the acrylic resin polymerization c...

INTRODUCTION Most men with erectile dysfunction are initially offered systemic therapy with a phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor, and then a choice of intracorporeal injection or intraurethral treatment. If these initial treatments fail or are rejected, penile prosthesis implantation is usually the third-line treatment option. The technology for penile prosthesis has been evolving, and it has b...

The erectile dysfunction is a pathology that, with different degrees of intensity, affects nearly the 20% of the spanish adult men. The treatment is usually performed in stages, reserving the penile prosthesis for when other previous treatments have failed. The aim of this work is to evaluate, according to the state of present knowledge, the effectiveness and security of the penile prosthesis f...

Two optimized pranoprofen-loaded poly-l-lactic-co glycolic acid (PLGA) nanoparticles (PF-F1NPs; PF-F2NPs) have been developed and further dispersed into hydrogels for the production of semi-solid formulations intended for ocular administration. The optimized PF-NP suspensions were dispersed in freshly prepared carbomer hydrogels (HG_PF-F1NPs and HG_PF-F2NPs) or in hydrogels containing 1% azone ...
