TC4, which is one of the most widely used titanium alloy, is frequently used in biomedical field due to its biocompatible. In this work, selective laser melting (SLM) was used to manufacture TC4 parts and the printed parts were heat-treated using laser rescanning technology. The experimental results showed that laser rescanning had a high impact on the quality of SLMed part, and a different performance on wear resistance can be found on the basis. It can be seen that the volume porosity of the sample was 7.6 ± 0.5% without using any further processing technology. The volume porosity of the sample processed using laser rescanning strategy was decreased and the square-framed rescanning strategy had a relative optimal volume porosity (1.5 ± 0.3%) in all these five samples. With the further decreasing of volume porosity, the wear resistance decreased at the same time. As its excellent bio-tribological properties, the square-framed rescanning may be a potential suitable strategy to forming TC4 which used in human body.

High Impact Practices

Experiential-learning provides opportunities for students that feature a variety of high-impact practices including first-year seminars, internships, community learning, collaborative projects, and capstone seminars. To offer these high-impact practices for students, faculty from across disciplines and majors must be willing to incorporate these opportunities within their courses and degrees. Indiana University Kokomo has offered two successful programs to support these high-impact practices. One program, the Kokomo Experience and You (KEY), supports faculty in the development and implementation of events and activities to support student learning. The other, the Student Success Academy Faculty Fellows Program, provided faculty members the opportunity to examine research and concepts so that they can better promote student success in their classrooms. Building on the success of these two programs, a third initiative, the Experiential Learning Academy (ELA), was launched in 2018, funded by a Reimagining the First Years mini-grant from AASCU.

Obstructive Sleep

Abstract Objectives Sleep disturbances are increasingly recognized as a major part of chronic pain pathology. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common occurrence in patients with chronic pain attending specialized pain clinics, yet its prevalence remains unclear. Using screening tools such as the Berlin and STOP-BANG questionnaires may aid in early identification of OSA and improve clinical care. This study i) examined the frequency of OSA based on objective sleep monitoring in patients with high-impact chronic pain, ii) explored potential differences in self-reported pain and sleep characteristics between patients with and without OSA, and iii) tested the agreement between OSA classification based on objective assessment and two OSA screening questionnaires. Methods A consecutive cohort of 90 patients (71 women and 19 men; mean age: 47.1 ± 11.0 years) referred for interdisciplinary pain treatment, underwent one night of sleep monitoring using portable respiratory polygraphy (RP), and suspected OSA was confirmed with polysomnography (PSG). Self-reported data on clinical pain (severity, pain drawings and health-related quality of life), sleep characteristics (sleep quality insomnia, sleepiness), and risk of OSA (Berlin and STOP-BANG questionnaires) were collected the day before RP assessment. Results Forty-six (51.1%) patients were classified with OSA according to RP and verified with PSG. Twenty-eight patients (31.1%) had moderate or severe OSA (apnea-hypopnea index [AHI] >15). Patients with OSA reported lower sleep quality compared with patients without OSA. Scores on pain severity, disability, quality of life, insomnia and sleepiness were comparable between patients with and without OSA. Sensitivity and specificity were 78.6 and 45.2% respectively for the Berlin questionnaire, and 71.4 and 58.1% respectively for the STOP-BANG questionnaire. The agreement for both questionnaires with objective assessment was poor-to-fair. Both questionnaires had acceptable negative predictive values but low positive predictive values reducing the clinical utility to identify patients with low OSA-risk in this sample. Conclusions The current study demonstrates a high prevalence of OSA in patients with high-impact chronic pain referred to specialized pain treatment, however the clinical pain profiles were similar in patients with and without OSA. The Berlin and STOP-BANG questionnaires have poor specificity and low-to-fair agreement with RP/PSG questioning their clinical utility in identifying OSA in this sample.
