Radial Inclination

Corrective osteotomy for distal radial malunion is a valuable but at times technically challenging operation. We have developed a new device to aid in the performance of the operation. We compared clinical use of the new technique with the standard technique. In 11 patients treated with the new technique the volar locking plate needed repositioning only once. With the standard technique in 17 patients the plate was repositioned in nine cases and needed bending in six cases. The new method corrected radial inclination (SD of 3° vs. 9°) and ulnar variance (SD of 0.9 mm vs. 1.4 mm) more predictably than the standard technique but there was no advantage in correction of volar tilt (SD of 6° vs. 4°). In our experience the new device makes corrective osteotomy of the distal radius easier and more reliable.

✓ The authors describe a new device for removal of intracerebral hematomas, based on the principle of stereotaxic evacuation of these lesions proposed in 1978 by Backlund and von Holst. The optimum parameters of stereotaxic aspiration, including speed of screw rotation and amount of suction, have been determined experimentally. Computerized tomography scanning was used to locate the hematoma site, to assess its volume, and to determine stereotaxic coordinates. A new method of preventing rebleeding is also described. This procedure was used to aspirate hematomas in 32 patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage, including one case caused by aneurysmal rupture and one secondary to rupture of an arteriovenous malformation. All patients were operated on in a severely comatose or semicomatose state. In all but four cases, the hematomas were almost totally removed. Three patients were operated on twice because of recurrent bleeding. The mortality rate for the series was 22%. A preliminary conclusion is made that this new method is safer and less traumatic than open surgery in most cases of severe intracerebral hematoma.

✓ Control of bleeding during dissection is a problem that is still not completely resolved in neurosurgical procedures. To overcome this problem in some settings, the authors, in close collaboration with their institution, developed a new device for blunt dissection of brain tumors that is based on a waterjet technique. This report describes their first experimental and clinical experience with this new method. Numerous cutting experiments were performed in porcine cadaver brains. The best results were obtained using pressures from 4 to 6 bars with a 100-jxm tip, which produced very small, precise cuts. Histological evaluation showed no disruption or vacuolization of the surrounding tissue. The authors have used the new device in nine patients (seven with gliomas and two undergoing temporal lobe resections for epilepsy), and no complications have been observed. The waterjet device allowed dissection of the brain tissue while even small exposed vessels were spared injury. The instrument was found to be easy to use. Future investigations will concentrate on adapting this new method to endoscopic surgery and evaluating fluids with low surface tension to avoid foaming and bubbling during open surgery.

A problem faced by anaesthetists in Islamic countries is the unwillingness of patients to shave their facial hair. Adhesive tapes may not adequately secure an endotracheal tube in these patients, and a cotton b and around the neck may cause obstruction of the venous return. A new device, a synthetic leather mask, was compared with the two other methods in a r and omized trial on 900 patients undergoing general anaesthesia. No displacement of the endotracheal tube, pressure on the neck veins, or skin reaction were observed in the mask group compared with the adhesive tape and the cotton b and groups. The mask can be reused, autoclaved and made in several sizes, prevents allergies to adhesive tape and is suitable for laryngoscopy, suctioning and inserting the oral airway

10Th World

The aim of the study was to test the use of a new device for anthropometric acquisition in sports applications. In particular, we used an electrogoniometer (FARO Arm) to analyze the upper extremities in 45 elderly swimmers during the 10th World Masters Championships. Conventional anthropometric parameters were measured by a conventional method (anthropometric) and also by the new method. In order to illustrate the potentiality of the new method, we also introduced a new parameter to describe the arm model in swimmers, the carrying angle. A detailed analysis of the features and potentiality of the new method is reported in the paper. The ANOVA test did not show significant differences between the main anthropometric measurements obtained with the two methods. We concluded that the use of the FARO Arm device is effective for anthropometric measurements in sports applications, as it can reproduce conventional measurements accurately and also estimate new parameters.

Four Bar Linkage

This paper presents a new angular transmission device based on a four-bar linkage mechanism. This mechanism consists of a four-bar linkage and an output gear similar to the Geneva drive. When the input link of the four-bar linkage is rotated once, the trajectory of the coupler point is generated. Then, the coupler point drives the motion of the output gear. To rotate the output gear by a specific angle, the design of the four-bar linkage is very important. The mechanism was generated using a new method for four-bar linkage design. Unlike some conventional methods, the new method can consider both the trajectory and the velocity of a coupler point. The new device has two advantages compared to the Geneva drive. Firstly, because the positions of the input and output axes are close to each other, the space efficiency of the new device is higher than that of the Geneva drive. Secondly, the duty factor of the new device is larger than that of the Geneva drive, and the mechanical loads applied to the output gear, such as that from acceleration, are much lower. Kinematic and dynamic simulation analysis was conducted to verify the advantages of the new device.

Investigations which require electron microscope examination of a few specific areas of non-homogeneous tissues make random sampling of small blocks an inefficient and unrewarding procedure. Therefore, several investigators have devised methods which allow obtaining sample blocks for electron microscopy from region of tissue previously identified by light microscopy of present here techniques which make possible: 1) sampling tissue for electron microscopy from selected areas previously identified by light microscopy of relatively large pieces of tissue; 2) dehydration and embedding large numbers of individually identified blocks while keeping each one separate; 3) a new method of maintaining specific orientation of blocks during embedding; 4) special light microscopic staining or fluorescent procedures and electron microscopy on immediately adjacent small areas of tissue.
