The management of chronic extensor mechanism injuries represents a significant challenge for orthopaedic surgeons, with numerous options for graft choice and fixation construct, but no clear consensus on which technique achieves optimal outcomes.Although there is little published data regarding outcomes of different fixation methods, small case ser
This study investigated the effects of using bagasse ash (BA) and metakaolin (MK) together as substitutes for cement in self-compacting concrete (SCC), together with the addition of glass fiber (GF), on the physical and mechanical characteristics of concrete.Eighteen SCC mixes were created, each containing different proportions of BA (0%, 10%, 15%,
Polymer-modified cement-based materials have been widely used in building materials.Polymers play a crucial role in improving the performance of cement-based materials.At the same time, different polymers are added according to specific special requirements to meet the needs of the industry.Therefore, this paper reviewed the research on the perform
Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair (TEVAR) has modified aortic medicine, particularly in patients with traumatic aortic injury (TAI).Conventional repair of TAI in the aortic arch is technically demanding as it requires cardiopulmonary bypass and deep hypothermic arrest with still a significant number of complications.Despite recent improvements in
In this study, we propose a strategy for delicately grasping fragile objects using a robotic gripper with highly deformable fluid fingertips.In an earlier study, we developed a soft fingertip, referred to as a fluid fingertip, which was fabricated from a deformable rubber bag filled with incompressible fluid.The proposed strategy detects the prefer
