Do you sometimes have a gut feeling? Having a gut wrenching experience? If we look superficially at the gut, it is a pretty simple structure, a long tube with one hole at each end, and two side branches, the billiary and pancreatic ducts. Its purpose is intake, digestion, absorption, nutrient extraction and excretion.1 However, it is smarter and more complex than that. The gut is the only organ...

In cementless total hip arthroplasty, the rotational stability of stem is generally confirmed in a one-time manual evaluation by surgeon. This study was performed to evaluate sequential intraoperative changes using torque wrench. Primary arthroplasty on 52 consecutive hips single wedge design. Intraoperative uniformly Evaluations were immediately after broach insertion and before final (after p...

modeling and wrench feasible workspace analysis of a spatial cable suspended robots is presented. a six-cable spatial cable robot is used the same as stewart robots. due to slow motion of the robot we suppose the motion as pseudostatic and kinetostatic modeling is performed. various workspaces are defined and the results of simulation are presented on the basis of various workspaces and applied...

When a healthcare professional commits an error that results in an adverse patient outcome, it is increasingly considered appropriate that an apology should be made to the harmed person. 2 Such an apology benefits both the health professional and the patient, and serves to address the considerable emotional burden that accompanies this wrenching aspect of practice (see page 249). The process of...

This trip examines exposures in the Adirondack Lowlands that contain Paleozoic hydrothermal and faultrelated features hosted by Mesoproterozoic ‘Grenville’ marbles and Cambrian Potsdam Sandstone. These features have been the source of some debate historically and are now explicable as resulting from hydrothermal activity within an ancient wrench fault system. This system is similar to the deep ...

PURPOSE The objective of this study was to compare torques applied by new and used manual torque devices for Morse-taper implants. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fifteen ITI manual torque devices were tested. Those in group 1 (n = 5) were new (ie, never used), those in group 2 (n = 5) had been used 50 to 200 times, and those in group 3 (n = 5) had been used 500 to 1,000 times. The torques applied by ea...

The amygdala is clearly implicated in the processing of biologically relevant stimuli, particularly those that can lead to a state of fear. A new study by Herry, Bach and colleagues using both mouse and human subjects seemingly throws a wrench in the spokes by demonstrating that the amygdala is sensitive to non-biologically relevant stimuli (i.e. tones) when they occur in an unpredictable fashi...
