Development of Total Hip Arthroplasty Support System for Predicting Intraoperative Fractures by the Frequency of Hammering Sound

In total hip arthroplasty (THA), orthopedic surgeons can determine the stability of the fixed hip stem based on the changes in the hammering sound, which is not a myth. It has been observed through Fourier analysis that the hammering sound changes. This study aimed to check whether it is possible to determine how stable the hip stem is fixed in real-time by collecting hammering sounds in operating rooms. First, a hammering sound analysis system was built, and an application was developed. Next, ...

Suture Thread Incisional Biopsy of Oral Tissues: A Case Report of a Unique Technique

Oral mucosal pathologies have varied presentations, and their innocuous appearance can occasionally misguide even the specialist. Various oral diseases can be detected by sampling the mucosa. The biopsy is a process of removing an altered viable tissue from a living being to determine the nature of pathology by microscopic evaluation. This approach allows for confirmation of the histopathologic features of suspicious pathologies, their grade and stage, and an appropriate treatment plan. The biop...

The Impact of Breastfeeding to Cognitive Functions in 5 Years Old Children

The impact of breastfeeding to cognitive development was studied in two cohorts of children aged five years, born in the years 2013 and 2014 in the polluted district Karvina and the control district České Budejovice. Information about breastfeeding was obtained from mothers ́ questionnaires. The Bender Visual Motor Gestalt Test (BG test) and the Raven Colored Progressive Matrices (RCPM test) were used as psychological cognitive tests. Obtained results suggest a positive effect of breastfeedin...

Optimal Clamping Force of Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Cable is 15 kgf

This study aimed to estimate the optimal clamping force of ultra-high-molecularweight polyethylene (UHMWPE) cables based on contact pressure distributions indicating blood flow by focusing on the mechanical factor of contact pressure. UHMWPE cables with widths of 3 mm and 5 mm were used. A pressure sensor was set on an artificial femur, and the cables were wrapped on simulated tissues and tightened with clamping forces of 10, 20, and 30 kgf based on the indication values displayed on the tighten...
