Abstract:
Background and highlights are presented concerning the development of a new orthotic system judged to be “the most outstanding innovation in prosthetics and/or orthotics practice” during the 1986-1989 period. The first Brian Blatchford Prize was awarded at the Sixth World Congress of ISPO held in Kobe, Japan, November 12-17, 1989. The new development selected as most deserving of this award consists of a system utilizing inexpensive, lightweight, modular components which can be quickly assembled with a few hand tools to provide custom-fitted knee-ankle-foot orthoses for persons with paraplegia

Abstract:
Modular construction brings improved safety and mitigates risks of hazard and injury. However, modular construction technology is also challenged with a degree of uncertainty resulting from such internal and external factors as engineering, occupational, cultural, socio-economic, and financial. Since modular construction is by nature distinct from conventional construction, existing risk management research for onsite construction cannot be directly applied to modular construction.

Abstract:
Treatment of high-energy distal femoral fractures is highly demanding. Advances in osteosynthesis tech­niques now allow for successful treatment, but extensive bone defects associated with the injury can preclude stable bone healing. Modular arthroplasty may be an effective alternative in such cases. Most commonly used during periarticular tumour resection procedures, modular arthroplasty enables functional recovery of the limb. It has been proven to be effective also in traumatic bone defects. The most important limitation of this method is a high level of technical difficulty and possible co

Abstract:
In recent years, the prevalence of acquired brain injury (ABI) has been on the rise, leading to impaired gait functionality in affected individuals. Traditional gait exoskeletons are typically rigid and bilateral and lack adaptability. To address this, the STELO, a pioneering modular gait-assistive device, was developed. This device can be externally configured with joint modules to cater to the diverse impairments of each patient, aiming to enhance adaptability and efficiency.

The cerebellum is endowed with the capacity for compensation and restoration after pathological injury, a property known as cerebellar reserve. Such capacity is attributed to two unique morphological and physiological features of the cerebellum. First, mossy fibers that convey peripheral and central information run mediolaterally over a wide area of the cerebellum, resulting in the innervation of multiple microzones, commonly known as cerebellar functional units. Thus, a single microzone receives redundant information that can be used in pathological conditions. Secondly, the circuitry is char

Objectives: Jasminoidin (JA) and ursodeoxycholic acid (UA) have been shown to exert synergistic effects on cerebral ischemia (CI) therapy, but the underlying mechanisms remain to be elucidated. Objective: To elucidate the synergistic mechanisms involved in the combined use of JA and UA (JU) for CI therapy using a driver-induced modular screening (DiMS) strategy. Methods: Network proximity and topology-based approaches were used to identify synergistic modules and driver genes from an anti-ischemic microarray dataset (ArrayExpress, E-TABM-662).

Abstract:
Acute lung injury (ALI) is an acute hypoxic respiratory failure caused by diffuse inflammatory injury in alveolar epithelial cells during severe infection, trauma, and shock. Among them, trauma/hemorrhagic shock (T/HS) is the main type of indirect lung injury. Despite a great number of clinical studies, indirect factor trauma/hemorrhagic shock to the function and the mechanism in acute lung injury is not clear yet. Therefore, it is still necessary to carry on relevant analysis in order to thoroughly explore its molecular and cellular mechanisms and the pathway of disease function. In our resea

Abstract:
Evidence suggests that the nervous system controls motor tasks using a low-dimensional modular organization of muscle activation. However, it is not clear if such an organization applies to coordination of human walking, nor how nervous system injury may alter the organization of motor modules and their biomechanical outputs. We first tested the hypothesis that muscle activation patterns during walking are produced through the variable activation of a small set of motor modules. In 20 healthy control subjects, EMG signals from eight leg muscles were measured across a range of walking speeds. F

Background Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) is a nuclear receptor that has key roles of lipid metabolism and inflammation. The PPARα may affects the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis by reducing inflammatory responses. Pemafibrate (K-877) is a novel selective PPARα modulator (SPPARMα), which was designed to possess higher PPARα potency and selectivity than existing PPARα agonists. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of pemafibrate on vascular response in coronary atherosclerosis model using low density lipoprotein receptor knock-out (LDLR-KO) pigs wi

In the future, therefore, newly-qualified orthopaedic surgeons will treat this kind of injury more frequently than in past decades. This prospective observational study aims to assess whether hip hemiarthroplasty with modular neck, performed via the Hardinge approach, can be safely carried out by orthopaedic residents.

Abstract Many people are familiar with the feeling of instability, pain, or subsidence in the knee joint after a knee injury. There are many different methods for examining the knee, such as the drawer test or the Lachman test [1], before and after surgery. While these tests can be used in short term and provide useful results, motion capture systems can be used as an alternative measurement method, almost as a substitute in longer term. These include marker-based or mechanica l systems, which achieve good measurement results but are expensive and inflexible. For this reason, this paper presen

Abstract:
In researching cognitive or motor learning aspects of activity control, motor imagery (MI) is a widely used model. Research has shown that motor imagery training can aid in memorizing motor functions because of the functional associations it shares with physical movement. Because of the high level of contact in these sports, players are more likely to sustain finger injuries. As a group of machine learning techniques, cognitive web services are designed to solve AI-related challenges. Because they are modular, cognitive web services can be easily integrated into any program, making AI more acc

A central challenge in the progression of a variety of open questions in biology, such as morphogenesis, wound healing, and development, is learning from empirical data how information is integrated to support tissue-level function and behavior. Information-theoretic approaches provide a quantitative framework for extracting patterns from data, but so far have been predominantly applied to neuronal systems at the tissue-level. Here, we demonstrate how time series of Ca2+ dynamics can be used to identify the structure and information dynamics of other biological tissues. To this end, we express

As Talal Asad elaborates in Chapter 4 of Formations of the Secular (2003), “Redeeming the ‘Human’ through Human Rights,” human rights discourse has long been criticized for failing to attend to the systematic and modular relations between violence and redress. Defining the ‘human’ in human rights is dependent upon its adjudication by independent states (or those states honoring signed treaties) and the remedies those states can supply. The ‘human’ of human rights cannot be separated from its practical translation in context. My comments on this chapter of Formations of the Secular focus on the
