Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness and reliability Tripod Index (TI) in defining hallux valgus (HV) deformity accompanying deformities evaluating treatment outcome. Material Methods: Fifty fifty two patients were included who underwent Chevron (group 1) proximal dome 2) osteotomy, respectively. Preoperative postoperative angle (HVA), intermetatarsal (IMA), Meary (MA)...

This paper summarises fatigue tests on Y-joints to estimate the influence of a post weld treatment method called Ultrasonic Impact Treatment. With this method the fatigue resistance could be increased significantly. Furthermore, tubular joints of tripod structures for offshore wind energy converters are analysed with numerical simulations to judge these welded joints with the hot-spot-concept. ...

With high quality data and appropriate statistical methods, prognostic models can hold enormous potential for identifying individuals at increased risk developing a health condition. Unfortunately, the recent study described by He et al (1) not only fails to omit key important information as suggested the TRIPOD Initiative (2) (www.tripodstatement.org), but has numerous methodological problemsw...

A clinical case of a combined application photodynamic and light-oxygen therapy in patient with vulgar acne is described. For therapy, photosensitizer “Sigrinol” mercury-quartz irradiator on tripod ORK-21M radiation source lamp DRT 400 were used. – “Super Seb” diode laser. After the treatment complete remission was achieved.

The Krone–Partheniades (K-P) framework has been used for decades to quantify and analyze the sediment exchange at a water–bed interface. Measuring erosion deposition parameters that are part of this requires time-consuming field observations. Additionally, measured independently parameters, while in reality they coupled. In numerical models applying K-P these often assumed be constant time mutu...
