Inherited desmosomal diseases are characterised by skin and/or cardiac features. Dermatological features might be a clue in the determination of the underlying life-threatening cardiac disease. This article aims to propose a dermatological algorithm for the diagnosis of desmosomal diseases after a systematic review of published articles. Palmoplantar keratoderma (PPK), hair shaft anomalies and ...

BACKGROUND Both pelvic fractures and femoral shaft fractures are caused by high-energy injuries. When unstable pelvic fractures and femoral shaft fractures occur concomitantly, the optimal treatment method is controversial. The aim of this study was to establish a reasonable principle for treating such complicated injuries. METHODS Forty patients sustaining unstable pelvic fractures and conco...

This paper analyzes the effect of the fuzzy logic-controlled braking resistor (BR) on minimizing shaft torsional oscillations of the generators in a multi-machine power system. The influence of communication delay associated with the fuzzy controller input calculation on minimizing shaft torque oscillations is investigated. Global Positioning System (GPS) is proposed for the practical implement...

Current marketing of golf clubs places great emphasis on the importance of the correct choice of shaft in relation to the golfer. The design of shafts is based on a body of received wisdom for which there appears to be little in the way of hard evidence, either of a theoretical or experimental nature. In this paper the behaviour of the shaft in the golf swing is investigated using a suitable dy...

This paper presents a novel real-time crack identification method to determine the position and depth of a transverse open crack on a rotating shaft. A newly developed wireless sensor capable of being mounted directly on the shaft is employed to monitor acceleration at different points of the shaft in a rotating coordinate system. The vibration parameters obtained from the wireless sensors and ...

context functional humeral bracing remains the gold standard for treatment of humeral shaft fractures. there is an increasing trend in the literature to perform operative fixation of these fractures. evidence acquisition the aim of this systematic review was to compare the level one evidence for the outcome of non-operative with operative management of humeral shaft fractures in adults. a compr...

This paper inspects the misaligned of shaft by using diagnostic medium such as current and vibration. Misalignments in machines can cause decrease in efficiency and in the long-run it may cause failure because of unnecessary vibration, stress on motor, bearings and short-circuiting in stator and rotor windings. In this study, authors investigate the onset of instability on a shaft mounted on jo...

Floating hip injuries and ipsilateral femoral neck and shaft fractures are rare. Additionally, the simultaneous occurrence of these injuries is extremely rare, and only one case report of the simultaneous occurrence of these injuries has been published. Here, we report the case of a patient with ipsilateral acetabular and femoral neck and shaft fractures following a suicide attempt. The patient...

During the construction of coal mine shafts through Cretaceous water-rich stratum using freezing method, frozen shaft lining can break and lose stability. Hence, it is necessary to examine mechanical properties constitutive relationship sandstone under effect surrounding rocks. To this end, in work, red at different confining pressures temperatures were examined by a ZTCR-2000 low-temperature t...

This paper presents a failure analysis on a failed intake valve in a gasoline engine. During an endurance test, an intake valve was broken and caused some damages on the piston. Material examinations (by a light microscope and also a scanning electron microscope) were conducted on the fracture surface of the intake valve shaft. Results showed that no pores or defects could be observed and the m...
