Zinc ®ngers are small protein domains in which zinc plays a structural role contributing to the stability of the domain. Zinc ®ngers are structurally diverse and are present among proteins that perform a broad range of functions in various cellular processes, such as replication and repair, transcription and translation, metabolism and signaling, cell proliferation and apoptosis. Zinc ®ngers ty...

Objectives: Despite numerous studies, having the best outcome is challenging after flexor tendon repairs in zone 2. This study were done to test the hypothesis that immediate postoperative active mobilization will achieve similar outcomes to passive mobilization. Methods: Fifty fingers in 38 patients with flexor tendon repair in zone 2 were enrolled in this trial. The patients randomly assig...

The pain increased when the fi stula was used for haemodialysis. On clinical examination, the patient was unable t...

| This paper addresses the problem of dexterous manipulation of objects using an articulated hand. We describe some geometric reasoning techniques that can be applied to solve active compliance tasks. In this context, ne motion strategies are derived from the positions and forces between the grasped object and the ngers of the hand. Our approach is based in the minimum power principle of the gr...
