BackgroundReverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) procedures have significantly increased in the last decade as an alternative to current treatments for cuff-tear arthropathy. Since Grammont's theory 1987, few data about vivo kinetics of shoulder-girdle musculature patients with RTSA been available. The goals this study are (1) describe contribution principal muscles around by electromyograp...

BackgroundThe most appropriate treatment for displaced multiple-fragment proximal humeral fractures in elderly patients is currently unclear. Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) a promising option that being used increasingly. The purpose of this study was to compare the outcome rTSA vs. hemiarthroplasty (HA) 3- and 4-part patients.MethodsThis multicenter randomized controlled trial. We ...

Trypanosoma cruzi antigens TSA-1 and Tc24 have shown promise as vaccine candidates in animal studies. We evaluated here the recall immune response these antigens induce in Chagasic patients, as a first step to test their immunogenicity in humans. We evaluated the in vitro cellular immune response after stimulation with recombinant TSA-1 (rTSA-1) or recombinant Tc24 (rTc24) in mononuclear cells ...

Abstract Background The number of implanted reverse total shoulder arthroplasties (RTSA) is increasing worldwide. To improve patient care, institutional and national arthroplasty registries are being established worldwide to record outcome data. This article aims describe the setup an RTSA database in a high-volume university orthopedic hospital. Methods All patients who received at authors’ te...

BackgroundThe use of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) has spread worldwide as a result an expansion indications and aging society. However, the value RTSA for very old patients is rarely analyzed. This study was conducted to investigate outcome primary in older than 80 years.MethodsWe identified 171 shoulders (159 patients) treated with at age more years between January 2005 March 201...

Salmonella enterica invades the intestinal epithelium of the host using a type III secretion system encoded on Salmonella pathogenicity island 1 (SPI1). The bacteria integrate environmental signals from a variety of global regulatory systems to precisely induce transcription of SPI1. The regulatory circuit converges on expression of HilA, which directly regulates transcription of the SPI1 appar...

This paper describes the Passive Active RFID Tag (PART). The first innovation is an automated method to generate RFID tag controllers based on high-level descriptions of a customised set of RFID primitives. We are capable of targeting microprocessor-based or custom hardware-based controllers. The second innovation is a passive burst switch front-end to the active tag. This switch reduces power ...

A promising way to achieve increased remote worksystem efficiency is to layer telerobotic technologies onto teleoperated remote systems. The research being reported here will enable the teleoperation baseline to be supplemented with operatorselective telerobotic modes of operation that allow automatic performance of subtasks that are either repetitive, require high precision, or involve extreme...
