Reaching and grasping training based on robotic hybrid assistance for neurological patients: end users real life evaluation

The aim of the RETRAINER proposal is to tune and validate advanced, robot-based technologies to facilitate recovery of arm and hand function in stroke survivors and to verify extensively the use of the system by end-users. RETRAINER will allow the users to use their own arm and hand as much and as soon as possible after the trauma so to achieve the best outcomes in rehabilitation.  A continuous iterative process between the technology development and the testing feedback will drive the whole project. RETRAINER will implement a full technology transfer from the results of a previous FP7 project, MUNDUS, aimed at setting up a similar assistive device for severely disabled people in daily life activities. 
RETRAINER will make available two systems that could be used either combined or stand-alone. RETRAINER S1 will provide the end-user with a robot that does not completely take over the user’s tasks and substitute the functionality of the body, but specifically supports the user only whenever he/she really needs support. Residual functionality is trained and improved on rather than replaced by the robotic device. Arm movements will be supported by the combined action of a passive exoskeleton for weight relief and Neuromuscular Electrical stimulation (NMES) delivered to several arm muscles in a controlled manner. RETRAINER S2 will exploit a wearable NMES system with multiple arrays of electrodes for hand rehabilitation facilitating the grasping function. Both systems will benefit from use of interactive objects, i.e. daily-life objects able to supply information about themselves to drive usage. Within RETRAINER the same principle and module will be exploited to drive rehabilitation exercises and to monitor daily life.
The systems will undergo a thorough randomized control clinical trial with end users to assess their efficacy in rehabilitation. Certification and qualification of the system will be pursued, given the adequate quality of experimental results.
Traumatismos torácicos: estrategia diagnóstica y terapéutica

En el caso de Francia, las principales causas de traumatismos torácicos, abiertos o cerrados, están representadas por los accidentes de tráfico y las caídas de gran altura, y suelen formar parte de los politraumatismos. La lesión torácica provocada por un mecanismo de desaceleración repentina es más probable que cause lesiones de tipo cerrado: contusión de órganos sólidos, ruptura de órganos huecos. Los criterios clínicos de gravedad en un paciente con traumatismo torácico son: dificultad respiratoria aguda y/o falla circulatoria y la existencia de más de dos fracturas costales y elementos relacionados con el estado basal del paciente. El primer tratamiento en un paciente consciente es una analgesia eficaz lo antes posible para mejorar los parámetros ventilatorios. El ajuste de la dosis de morfina sigue siendo la modalidad analgésica de referencia en caso de dolor intenso. La sedación con ketamina puede ser necesaria en caso de movilización dolorosa del paciente o antes de efectuar un procedimiento invasivo (reducción de una luxación, etc.). La evaluación de las lesiones torácicas en el momento del ingreso incluye una radiografía de tórax y/o una ecografía pleuropulmonar, que pueden servir para determinar si es necesario un drenaje urgente. La tomografía computarizada (TC) con inyección de medio de contraste es la exploración de referencia para el diagnóstico de las lesiones torácicas y, en particular, de las lesiones aórticas. La toracotomía para hemostasia está indicada en un paciente en shock hemorrágico debido a un hemotórax persistente y activo a pesar de un drenaje torácico. La vía de acceso será anterolateral, derecha o izquierda, según el lugar del hemotórax. La combinación de ventilación no invasiva y analgesia locorregional se considera una estrategia de tratamiento óptima en el paciente consciente. La colocación de una endoprótesis mediante radiología intervencionista es el tratamiento de primera línea para la ruptura traumática de la aorta.
A high voltage current sense amplifier with extended input common mode range based on a low voltage operational amplifier cell

This paper presents a current sense amplifier (CSA) capable of performing measurements at high input common mode (CM) voltages independent of the power supply rail. The proposed circuit employs a fully low voltage amplifier cell, a correction block for maintaining the linearity of the input stage over the entire input CM and a protection circuit against high differential input voltages (DIFF). Furthermore, a trimming procedure that enables the use of typical polysilicon gain resistors without losing accuracy and precision is discussed. The proposed architecture has been implemented in a standard 0.25μm BCD technology and its performances have been confirmed by both simulations and measurements.
The novel impact point prediction of a ballistic target with interacting multiple models

The threat of ballistic targets has increased rapidly in recent years. Therefore, it is essential to prepare the capabilities to predict their impact points in order to assign the firing battery to defense them effectively. Because the trajectory of a short-range ballistic target represents severe non-linear characteristics and consists of boost phase and ballistic phase, it is difficult to estimate the state and predict its impact point using single dynamic model in overlapping region. In this paper, the method to distinguish the trajectory phase from the measurement data and the method to estimate the state using a different extended Kalman filter (EKF) with interacting multiple models are proposed in order to fuse the state of a ballistic target in overlapping region. For effective the state fusion, it is necessary to merge each state from a different EKF in accordance with the mode probability depending on the residual error between the estimated state and measurement. A Monte Carlo simulation is used in the verification of the proposed method.
A study of highly charged ions transmission through polycarbonate nanocapillaries with multi-holes

The transmission of highly charged Xe and Ne ions through polycarbonate (PC) nanocapillaries with multiple holes (m-PC) was investigated at the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) in Lanzhou. In particular, Au films were evaporated on both the front side and the back to prevent the surface from charging up. The time effect was observed and the charging up model in an insulating nanocapillary was employed to explain the phenomenon. It was found that more than 98% of the transmitted ions remained in their initial charge state. The guiding effect and the relationship between the charge state and the critical angle were also studied.

Inhalation of hydrogen gas attenuates ouabain-induced auditory neuropathy in gerbils

Auditory neuropathy (AN) is a hearing disorder characterized by abnormal auditory nerve function with preservation of normal cochlear hair cells. This study was designed to investigate whether treatment with molecular hydrogen (H(2)), which can remedy damage in various organs via reducing oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis, is beneficial to ouabain-induced AN in gerbils.AN model was made by local application of ouabain (1 mmol/L, 20 mL) to the round window membrane in male Mongolian gerbils. H(2) treatment was given twice by exposing the animals to H(2) (1%, 2%, and 4%) for 60 min at 1 h and 6 h after ouabain application. Before and 7 d after ouabain application, the hearing status of the animals was evaluated using the auditory brainstem response (ABR) approach, the hear cell function was evaluated with distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE). Seven days after ouabain application, the changes in the cochleae, especially the spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs), were morphologically studied. TUNEL staining and immunofluorescent staining for activated caspase-3 were used to assess the apoptosis of SGNs.Treatment with H(2) (2% and 4%) markedly attenuated the click and tone burst-evoked ABR threshold shift at 4, 8, and 16 kHz in ouabain-exposed animals. Neither local ouabain application, nor H(2) treatment changed the amplitude of DPOAE at 4, 8, and 16 kHz. Morphological study showed that treatment with H(2) (2%) significantly alleviated SGN damage and attenuated the loss of SGN density for each turn of cochlea in ouabain-exposed animals. Furthermore, ouabain caused significantly higher numbers of apoptotic SGNs in the cochlea, which was significantly attenuated by the H(2) treatment. However, ouabain did not change the morphology of cochlear hair cells.The results demonstrate that H(2) treatment is beneficial to ouabain-induced AN via reducing apoptosis. Thus, H(2) might be a potential agent for treating hearing impairment in AN patients.

METHOD FOR ERECTING FRAMEWORK OF STRUCTURES

The invention relates to construction, and specifically to a method for erecting framed structures. A method for erecting a framework involves installing load-bearing vertical monolithic structures at the same time as erecting vertically-oriented reinforced-concrete rotating floor-slab plates pivotally connected to same. Separating elements are pre-installed between the plates and the load-bearing structures, and also between adjacent plates. Following concrete strength development, the plates are rotated to a horizontal position, and junctions are grouted between the plates and vertical elements, and between neighboring floor-slab plates. The vertical elements and floor-slab plates are formed layer by layer, sheet-type or film-type polymer materials are used as vertical dividing elements, and the rotating joint for a floor-slab plate comprises a linearly elongated element disposed in the middle portion of a floor-slab plate, the longitudinal axis of which corresponds to the rotational axis of the plate.
Influence de la paramétrisation du «slab‐ocean» dans le modèle climatique régional RegCM4 en Afrique centrale

L’étudevise à évaluer la réponse locale de la version 4.6 du modèle climatique régional (RegCM4.6) au couplage de l'interaction océan-atmosphère en Afrique Centrale. L'habileté du modèle est évaluée sur une période de six ans (du 1er janvier 2001 au 31 décembre 2006) en effectuant deux différentes expériences avec le schéma convectif Grell. Les expériences sont réalisées sur une échéance mensuelle avec une résolution spatiale de 40 km. Le modèle a été forcé par les réanalyses ERA-Interim et validé par les données d'observation GPCP (Global Precipitation Climatology Project), les réanalyses ERA 5 et ERA-Interim. Pour évaluer l'influence du «slab-ocean», nous avons réalisé deux expériences différentes: la première expérience est conçue pour produire la climatologie et forcer les limites de surface de RegCM avec la température de surface de la mer. La deuxième expérience est conçue pour coupler RegCM avec le «slab-ocean» qui fournit une interaction mutuelle entre l'océan et l'atmosphère. Nous avons évalué à partir des outils statistiques l'habileté du modèle à simuler les précipitations, la température en surface et le vent. Les deux expériences reproduisent raisonnablement les grandes caractéristiques du régime pluviométrique, de la température et du vent. Une analyse comparative des différentes expériences révèle que les performances des expériences sont semblables en Afrique Centrale et dans les différentes sous-zones homogènes en ce qui concerne les pluies, mais elles présentent des différences subtiles. L'amélioration du «slab-ocean» varie d'une saison à l'autre et d'une sous-zone à l'autre. Toutefois, nous notons une amélioration significative de la température et des pluies au-dessus de l'océan Indien.

In situ analysis of single channel subunit composition in neurons: physiological implication in synaptic plasticity and behavior

Ligand-gated and voltage-gated channels are key molecules in transforming chemical signals into electrical ones and electrical signals into chemical ones, respectively. At excitatory synaptic connections in the brain, activation of AMPA- and NMDA-type glutamate receptors elicits inward currents at the postsynaptic sites, and activation of voltage-gated calcium channels triggers vesicle release of glutamate in the presynaptic sites. Plastic changes in their number, location and property can lead to potentiation or depression of synaptic efficacy, alteration in time course, and coupling to effectors at both postsynaptic and presynaptic sites. These channels are all composed of distinct subunits and their compositions affect channel properties, trafficking to the synaptic sites, and interaction with associated molecules, creating a large diversity of synaptic functions. Although channels with different subunit compositions have been investigated using biochemical and electrophysiological detection methods, very little is known about single channel subunit composition in situ because of the lack of high resolution methods for analysis of protein complex in intact tissues. In this project, I will develop novel technologies to visualize subunit composition at the single channel level in individual synapses by electron microscopy, combining new EM tags, freeze-fracture replica labelling, and electron tomography. Synaptic plasticity will be induced by optogenetic stimulation of identified neurons or behavioural paradigms to examine the dynamic changes of subunit composition. Finally, physiological implications of such regulation of subunit composition will be investigated by genetic manipulation of mice combined with electrophysiological and behavioural analyses. This work will demonstrate unprecedented views of the subunit composition in situ and provide new insights into how regulation of subunit composition contributes to synaptic plasticity and animal behaviour.
The effect of light regimen on settlement patterns of sea lice, Lepeophtheirus salmonis , on Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar , post-smolts while taking into account fish size and fin erosion in a static tank system

Abstract Atlantic salmon post-smolts were exposed to copepodids of Lepeophtheirus salmonis maintained under two lighting regimens. Fish were exposed to lice in either a lit (10:14 h daily light:low light) regimen or unlit (24 h low illumination). After 20 to 22 days fish were euthanized and surveyed for the number and location of settled lice (attached chalimus) while taking into account surface area and fin erosion scores. Surface area did not affect total lice counts; however, densities were higher on smaller fish. On the other hand, fin erosion influenced the number of lice settling on fins based on data collected on paired fins which had the highest number of lice and erosion scores. The absence of a diurnal lighting regimen did not affect louse numbers on salmon post-smolts. However, it did influence the distribution of sea lice on body regions with a higher proportion of sea lice on the posterior versus the anterior region of host fish in lit tanks. Our results confirm the fact that low light does not preclude lice infestations but can affect aspects of louse distribution likely due, in this study, to a change in host swimming activity. Statement of relevance There is a need to assess light effect on lice settlement in controlled conditions due to conflicting results. We analyzed lice settlement while taking into account preexisting fin erosion and fish size. Findings confirm that light is not a requirement for lice infestation. Fin erosion influenced the number of lice on paired fins suggesting the importance of considering fin erosion as a potential biophysical parameter.
On the Solution of Incompressible Fluid Flow Equations: a Comparative Study

This paper studies and contrasts the performances of three iterative methods for computing the solution of large sparse linear systems arising in the numerical computations of incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. The emphasis is on the traditional Gauss-Seidel (GS) and Point Successive Over-relaxation (PSOR) algorithms as well as Krylov projection techniques such as Generalized Minimal Residual (GMRES). The performances of these three solvers for the second-order i¬nite difference algebraic equations are comparatively studied by their application to solve a benchmark problem in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). It is found that as the mesh size increases, GMRES gives the fastest convergence rate in terms of cpu time and number of iterations. Keywords: viscous flows, Navier-Stokes equations, linear system, iterative, GMRES
Tissue culture and biotechnological techniques applied to passion fruit with ornamental potential: an overview

The ornamental flower sector has growing over the past years worldwide with potential for further expansion. Among the ornamental plants, Passiflora species have been gaining ground in the market, mainly in European and North American countries. However, the market aiming the use of these species in ornamentation is still poorly explored. The inclusion of passion flower in the list of ornamental plants is related to the peculiar characteristics of the flower as it is complex structure, capacity of flowering all year long and also by the abundance and exuberance of the leaves, which in many species adds an ornamental value. Among the biotechnological tools for the production of ornamental plants, tissue culture has been outstanding in the cloning of elite genotypes, with high phytosanitary quality and large scale production. In addition, it offers possibilities of producing new varieties with characteristics peculiar to the market of ornamental plants. The diversity of wild Passiflora opens perspectives to the conservation, market and production of ornamental Passiflora cultivars.
Pharmacokinetic Profile of Liposome Bupivacaine Injection Following a Single Administration at the Surgical Site

Local anaesthetics are often used as part of multimodal pain management techniques to manage postsurgical pain and lessen the need for opioid analgesics; however, the duration of action of traditional formulations of local anaesthetics is short. Liposome bupivacaine is a novel, multivesicular formulation designed for rapid absorption, prolonged release of bupivacaine, and analgesia following a single intra-operative administration into the surgical wound. This article provides a summary of the pharmacokinetic profile of liposome bupivacaine compared with bupivacaine HCl based on data compiled from four randomized, active- and placebo-controlled trials that included pharmacokinetic assessments following single administrations of study drug. Each study evaluated the safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetic profile of liposome bupivacaine in separate surgical populations (patients undergoing inguinal hernia repair, total knee arthroplasty, haemorrhoidectomy or bunionectomy). Pharmacokinetic parameters included maximum plasma drug concentration (C(max)), area under the curve (AUC) for plasma bupivacaine concentration over time extrapolated to infinity (AUC(∞)), time to observed C(max) (t(max)) and terminal elimination half-life of bupivacaine (t(½)). The studies assessed single administrations of liposome bupivacaine at dose levels ranging from 106 to 532 mg or bupivacaine HCl 100 to 150 mg or placebo (0.9 % sodium chloride) given locally via wound infiltration at the end of surgery prior to wound closure. Male and non-pregnant female patients (n = 253) aged ≥18 years, scheduled to undergo surgery as per the specific protocol for each study, were enrolled. Patient characteristics were stratified by liposome bupivacaine doses ≤266 mg and >266 mg, and bupivacaine HCl treatment arms. Pharmacokinetic parameters for liposome bupivacaine doses of 106, 266, 399 and 532 mg were compared. Plasma concentration versus time profiles were quantitatively similar across these four dose levels of liposome bupivacaine, with an initial peak occurring within 1 h after administration followed by a second peak about 12-36 h later. The overall incidence of adverse events was lower in the liposome bupivacaine ≤266-mg group than the liposome bupivacaine >266-mg and bupivacaine HCl groups (100- or 150-mg doses). In summary, liposome bupivacaine was well tolerated across the four studies and varied surgical models, and exhibited bimodal kinetics with rapid uptake observed during the first few hours and prolonged release through 96 h after administration.
