<Case Report> Fatal Cardiovascular Collapse during Insertion of Bone Cement and a Prosthesis: Two Case Reports

Over the last two decades, hip surgery with methylmethacrylic cement has become a popular and suecessful procedure. Improvements in the techniques of surgery and anesthesia have led to increased numbers of operations in the elderly. However, cardiovascular collapse is an occasional but well documented complication of the use of acrylic bone cement during hip surgery. Although the etiology has not yet been completely resolved, fat or air emboli and hypersensitivity to the methylmethacrylate monomer have been implicated. We have now documented two cases of fatal cardiovascular collapse during orthopedic surgery, presumably resulting from intraoperative fat embolism.journal articl

Research and development of a safe bus driving support system considering passenger discomfort

In recent years, bus accidents have become a social problem due to the aging of bus drivers and the shortage of personnel. Our research group has been developing a safe bus driving support system for reducing bus accidents. About the type of accidents, inside car accidents become critical for fixed-route buses. While recent safe driving support systems using AI detect moving passengers to reduce inside car accidents, the other attributes, e.g. inside car status, age, baggage, use of a smartphone, and so on, are not considered. In this research, we focus on the inside car status, and, detecting passengers' discomfort, e.g. discomfort driving, late schedule, congestion in the car. In this poster presentation, we will introduce the project overview and the related activities.conference pape

Space charge and conduction in LDPE-polypropylene copolymer blends

In the previous paper, the electrical breakdown properties of blend polymers of LDPE and polypropylene copolymer were investigated. The impulse breakdown strength in the high temperature region (90°C) was improved by blending. In the present paper, the space charge behavior and electrical conduction of the blends were studied with the electrode system of aluminium/sample/semiconductive layer. The specimen with 90 wt% LDPE and 10 wt% polypropylene copolymer (B10) had a larger amount of space charge than pure LDPE (PE) at 30°C. On the other hand, the DC current of B10 was less than that of PE in this temperature region. It was found that the anode field was related to the current in both PE and B10, which suggests that the carrier injection from the anode is dominant to the electrical conduction. The DC currents of both PE and B10 showed good straight lines on the Schottky plot with the same Schottky coefficients.journal articl

Patrol data

Patrol #: A unique identifier for each of 284 patrols. Date = Date each patrol occurred. Male = For each patrol, each male who was present in the community and >=13 years when the patrol ocurred is listed in his own row. Patrol participation = whether the male in that row participated in the patrol (1) or not (0). Age squared = the male's age in years at the time of the patrol, squared. Rank: the male's standardized dominance rank in the year the patrol occurred. Paternity success = at the time of the patrol, the sum of the relatedness values (0.5) to the male's offspring living in the community. Maternal relatedness = at the time of the patrol, the sum of the relatedness values to the male's close maternal relatives. See methods in supplementary info of original paper for details

Distribution of alleles according to subspecies/species.

<p>Alleles (p1 = A1 and p11 = B2) differ only by two synonymous substitutions, so that bonobos and eastern chimpanzees share an allele (P1) at the amino acid level. Two alleles (W11a, W11b) identified in western chimpanzees differ only by one synonymous substitution and represent one allele at the amino acid level.</p>*<p>There is one shared allele between central and eastern chimpanzees: alleles p6 and E1 are identical at the nucleotide level.</p
