Abstract Background: AISI 316L stainless steel wire cerclage routinely used in sternotomy closure causes lateral cut-through damage and fracture, especially in cases of high-risk patients, which leads to post-operative complications. A biocompatible elastomer (Pellethane®) coating on the standard wire is proposed to mitigate the cut-through effect. Methods: Simplified peri-sternal and trans-sternal, sternum-cerclage contact models are created and statically analyzed in a finite element (FE) software to characterize the stress-reduction effect of the polymer coating for thicknesses between 0.5 to 1.125 mm. The performance of the polymer-coated cerclage in alleviating the detrimental cortical stresses is also compared to the standard steel cerclage in a full sternal closure FE model for the extreme cough loading scenario. Results: It was observed via the simplified contact simulations that the cortical stresses can be substantially decreased by increasing the coating thickness. The full closure coughing simulation on the human sternum further corroborated the simplified contact results. The stress reduction effect was found to be more prominent in the trans-sternal contacts in comparison to peri-sternal contacts. Conclusions: Bearing in mind the promising numerical simulation results, it is put forth that a standard steel wire coated with Pellethane® will majorly address the cut-through complication.

Reduction Effect

In recent years, various organizations, such as companies and governments, have been required to take measures for the mental health of their employees, and the importance of self-care for mental health by employees themselves has been increasing, as well as being supported by administrators, such as doctors and workplace managers. As a means of self-care of mental health that can be implemented by busy professionals during their workdays and daily lives, the Digital-SAT method has been developed to implement the stress-care process of the SAT method, a psychological counseling technique for resolving psychological stress problems, in a self-guided manner using digital media. To realize the Digital-SAT method, two issues need to be addressed: first, to obtain the same emotional stress reduction effect as the SAT method and, second, to ensure the continuous implementation of the Digital-SAT method. Previous studies have shown that applications (apps) using virtual reality are effective in solving the former issue, and an app using a chatbot can be effective in solving the latter. In this research, an intervention study was conducted to verify the effectiveness of combined use of the two apps to encourage continuous use, resulting in increased emotional stress reduction, with the aim of making it feasible in actual work environments. An intervention of four weeks of app use was conducted with 70 nurses working in two hospitals where measures for mental health due to emotional labour and overwork were required. The emotional stress reduction effects of the intervention were evaluated using psychological scales and blood pressure levels, and it was confirmed that combined use of apps was more effective than using them separately to practice the Digital-SAT method in an actual work environment.

Reduction Effect

Alternative manufacturing processes such as hot working and electrical-assisted forming (EAF), which involves passing a high density electrical current through the workpiece during deformation, have been shown to increase the potential strain induced in materials and reduce required forces for deformation. While forming at elevated temperatures is common, the EAF process provides more significant improvements in formability without the undesirable effects associated with forming at elevated temperatures. This research investigates the effect of grain size and current density on annealed pure copper during the EAF process. The flow stress reduction effect of the process was shown to decrease with increasing grain sizes. A threshold current density, required to achieve a significant reduction in the flow stresses, becomes more apparent at larger grain sizes, and the value increases with increasing grain size. The effects increase with increasing strain due to dislocations being generated during deformation. Therefore, the dislocation density, related in part by the grain size, appears to be a factor in the EAF process.

Reduction Effect

Abstract Background. The urbanization process has increased the stress level among the population, since the city is an environment characterised by pollution, traffic, and noise. Spending time in natural and green spaces revealed to be restorative and effective in stress reduction. In some conditions, it is not possible to reach green spaces, such as country or gardens. In the last years, virtual reality (VR) has been adopted in laboratories to explore the potentialities for stress reduction. Therefore, the current systematic review protocol aims at establishing the main steps that will be undertaken to investigate the stress-reduction effects of virtual nature studies. Methods. The study will follow the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement, while the inclusion criteria will be established through PICOS (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome, Study Design). The studies will be included if based on non-clinical population; if they compare the exposure to virtual nature through 360° images, biophilic elements, VR pre-recorded videos, or immersive environment, excluding the augmented reality; if they measure the outcome in terms of objective measures (through physical parameters) or subjective measures (e.g., self-report questionnaires); and if they report quantitative outcomes, from scientific journals and indexed conference papers. The studies will be obtained through a research on Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed. All the study characteristics will be summarised in a spreadsheet and a narrative synthesis including also tables will be presented. Discussion. The current manuscript aims to provide the protocol that will be used in the systematic review concerning the stress reduction effect of virtual nature. Systematic review registration.
