Published: February 2017

Introducción
Las osteotomías acetabulares han sufrido con el tiempo una variación en su indicación. En los últimos años con los trabajos de R.Ganz volvió el auge por estas técnicas. Presentamos en este trabajo un estudio comparativo entre ambas técnicas en cuanto a sus resultados biomecánicos
Material y métodos
Evaluamos 12 casos con cada una de las osteotomías midiendo en los 24 casos el desplazamiento del centro de rotación cefálico hacia lateral y anterior, el porcentaje de cabeza femoral cubierta lateral y anterior y los ángulos de inclinación y anteversión acetabular. Todos los datos fueron comparados con la cadera contralateral sin patología
Resultados
En la triple osteotomía se comprobó un desplazamiento lateral de + 2,9 mm y anterior de + 2,47 mm del centro de rotación cefálico de la operada con respecto a la contralateral. En la osteotomía Periacetabular, se vio lateralización de +7,6 mm y antepulsión de + 6,67 mm. El porcentaje de cabeza femoral cubierta (promedio) con la Triple osteotomía fue de 89% lateral y de 99,4% anterior, con la osteotomía Periacetabular fue de 88% lateral y 80% anterior. Los ángulos de orientación acetabular con la Triple fueron de 39,4 grados de inclinación y 27,1 grados de anteversión , con la Periacetabular fue de 45,5 de inclinación y de 23,11 grados de anteversión
Conclusiones
En nuestras manos comprobamos que la conservación del puente óseo entre el iliaco y el isquion limita la rotación para dar cobertura anterior y desplaza el centro de rotación cefálico hacia adelante, prefiriendo la Triple osteotomía en los casos de falta de cobertura anterior severa de la cabeza femoral.

OBJECTIVES:To assess the prevalence, characteristics, and risk of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) in children with congenital cytomegalovirus infection identified through hospital-based newborn screening who were asymptomatic at birth compared with uninfected children.METHODS:We included 92 case-patients and 51 controls assessed by using auditory brainstem response and behavioral audiometry. We used Kaplan–Meier survival analysis to estimate the prevalence of SNHL, defined as ≥25 dB hearing level at any frequency and Cox proportional hazards regression analyses to compare SNHL risk between groups.RESULTS:At age 18 years, SNHL prevalence was 25% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 17%–36%) among case-patients and 8% (95% CI: 3%–22%) in controls (hazard ratio [HR]: 4.0; 95% CI: 1.2–14.5; P = .02). Among children without SNHL by age 5 years, the risk of delayed-onset SNHL was not significantly greater for case-patients than for controls (HR: 1.6; 95% CI: 0.4–6.1; P = .5). Among case-patients, the risk of delayed-onset SNHL was significantly greater among those with unilateral congenital/early-onset hearing loss than those without (HR: 6.9; 95% CI: 2.5–19.1; P &lt; .01). The prevalence of severe to profound bilateral SNHL among case-patients was 2% (95% CI: 1%–9%).CONCLUSIONS:Delayed-onset and progression of SNHL among children with asymptomatic congenital cytomegalovirus infection continued to occur throughout adolescence. However, the risk of developing SNHL after age 5 years among case-patients was not different than in uninfected children. Overall, 2% of case-patients developed SNHL that was severe enough for them to be candidates for cochlear implantation.

Published: February 2017

ZusammenfassungEin 7 Monate alter, männlicher Otterhund wurde aufgrund einer progressiven Lähmung der Hintergliedmaßen vorgestellt. Die klinischneurologische Untersuchung ergab eine Paraparese mit erhaltener Steh- und Gehfähigkeit sowie einer linksseitig betonten Läsion im Bereich des unteren motorischen Neurons der Hintergliedmaße (L4–S1). Mittels Magnetresonanztomographie wurde eine intradurale extramedulläre Neoplasie auf Höhe des fünften Lendenwirbels diagnostiziert. Bei der chirurgischen Darstellung zeigte sich eine partielle Infiltration des Rückenmarks durch die Neoplasie. Die mit Ausnahme des infiltrativen Anteils exstirpierte Masse erwies sich histopathologisch als spinales Nephroblastom. Der Hund wurde einer Bestrahlungstherapie unterzogen. Die Paraparese bildete sich vollständig zurück und bis 9 Monate post operationem wies der Patient keine neurologischen Defizite auf.
Architectural language in Erbil Castle-An analytical study of systems engineering for residential Building in Erbil Castle
Authors: Aloomary Rana 
Published: February 2017

Erbil castle is the oldest one among all in the area and is still inhabited. It is situated within the borders of Islamic architectural principles hence it lived in the same circumstances that governed the area as of cities in Turkey, Syria, Iran and the rest of Islamic cities. When the Islamic architecture characterized by architectural unit, the concept of Islam emerged carrying diversity in countries that added its Islamic architectural touch in a way that gave it its privacy and was not free from its rudiments that made it an architectural unit besides the concepts and vocabulary on which the system of relations and the construction engineering for the Islamic architecture are based. Therefore, the problem of research can be specified as: the ambiguity of the construction engineering for what is related to the system of relations and the desirable dimensions between the levels of one part and other parts in Erbil castle. The study will demonstrate this through the following hypotheses:
1. The existence of a construction engineering based on the system of relations and dimensions that determine the architectural samples in Erbil castle
2. The architectural samples in Erbil castle get unified through the engineering system between the levels of one part, other parts and the whole for the architectural formation in its diverse parts and criteria.

Authors: M. Banaz 
Published: February 2017

The reality of the expected developments and changes in the aims, philosophy of education, curriculums and the use of modern teaching aids technologies, make the review and evaluation of schools design the more necessary, and this ultimately will lead to their redesign. The suitable school building could be defined as that space that provide a good environment to all educational curriculums, and that which contribute to the building up of students personality. A good curriculum together with a good design will help in implanting a positive sense of values and creativity in the students. The aim of the design of secondary schools building is the provision of a suitable number of classroom spaces, laboratories and other functions that fulfill the requirements of any teaching syllabus (program), because the progress and development in the educational process requires saving the appropriate education, curricula and advanced design school procession with the modern development of the age.The final conclusions and recommendations to the research and the final results that were reached confirmed the research hypothesis and defined the remedial design criteria and the preparation of the functional program to the present and future design and according to present modern curriculum.
The recommendations emphasized the necessity of adopting new designs that fulfill the avers standards, according to modern curriculum for secondary schools instead of present design which proved to be unable to meet the requirements of modern curriculum of the various types of teaching spaces and it also emphasized the necessity to redesign the outside spaces and to consider them of on importance to the modern curriculum.
The urban existence of Baghdad city between the effect of the provisions of the construction of jurisprudence and Contemporary Urban legislation
Authors: Ali Amjed 
Published: February 2017

The ruling mechanism of the urban environment Arabic Islamic cities in the past differs from similar current ones, for the affairs of urbanism and constructions, in those cities, were mainly administrated through the system of "religions legislations"(Feqqh) that used to run all aspects of life in a total state of equilibrium, this system, which re gave birth to a highly distinct homogeneous environment conveying not only the needs and requirements of its occupants, but also their culture and ambitions. Growing , interactionally, with their customs , ethics and values.
In the current urban- environment, substantial change has accrued at the legislational system that runs and controls the affairs of the urban construction extended to cover the roots and shoots, most of which were imported or inspired from a different environment, which a different kind of constants and variables of those of the local environment, This has led to multi-level controversial and negative aspects, troubled the occupants of the current cities and towns, and that was the main problem of this research.
This study aimed to convey a picture of the reality of Baghdad city under the system that used to run its constructional affairs previously - religions legislations and law - and take it as a base of view, to look through it to the reality of the Arab Islamic city of today under current constructional legislations, and this study shown the main urban problems and the extent of the participation of these constructional legislations in the said problems, taking the capital of Baghdad as a realistic case of study for the current Arabian-Islamic city; documenting some of its aspects and questioner a section of its inhabitants; to know their points of view concerning the problems they face and their causes, to conduct a general comparing between the most important features of the traditional and current environments, each under its special legislations. This study showed the most important urban problems caused by that “contemporary” legislation, and also showed the presence of considerable support in the study area for the point of view of jurisprudence legislation in urban issues, as opposed to the perspective of contemporary urban legislation.
Biophilic Design Applications: Putting Theory and Patterns into Built Environment Practice
Authors: Downton Paul , Jones David , Zeunert Josh , Roös Phillip 
Published: February 2017

<p>In 1984 E.O. Wilson (1984) introduced and popularized the <em>Biophilia</em> hypothesis defining <em>biophilia</em> as "the urge to affiliate with other forms of life" (Kellert &amp; Wilson 1995: 416).<sup> </sup>Wilson’s <em>biophilia</em> hypothesis suggests that there is an instinctivebond between human beings and other living systems. More recently, in the USA, Browning <em>et al</em> (2014) have proposed ‘14 Patterns of Biophilic Design’ within a framework for linking the human biological sciences and nature to built environment design offering a series of tools for enriching design opportunities, and avenues for design applications as a way to effectively enhance the health and well-being of individuals and society. While <em>biophilia</em> is the theory, <em>biophilic design</em> as advocated by Kellert <em>et al</em> (2008) and Beatley (2010) internationally offers a sustainable design strategy that seeks to reconnect people with the ‘natural environment’. Overall, from what little research has been undertaken internationally in the last 10 years, there is a solid understanding as to the applied application of this theory, its principles and processes to built environment design and no research about to how to retrofit the existing urban fabric using this approach. This paper reviews the application of <em>biophilic design</em> in Australia, including the scope of design, health and wellbeing literature, the ‘14 Patterns of Biophilic Design’ and performative measures now unfolding, brings forward a new <em>Biophilic Design</em> Pattern, and considers the value the approach offers to built environment practice as well as to human and non-human occupants.</p>

Published: February 2017

<p>Management of bone and joint injuries is commonly done by immobilisation using plaster/fibreglass casts. This study describes design and fabrication of patient specific cast using 3D printing. The 3D printed cast while being patient friendly is superior to earlier casts in healing efficacy and hence redefines the joint immobilisation practice. We present here a case of “walk on brace” design and fabrication using 3D printing. The custom design of ankle immobilisation cast was done for an 18-year-old boy having tibia bone fracture during gymnastic activity. The workflow comprises of anatomical data acquisition, CAD, 3D printing, post processing and clinical approval for use. Additional features such as straps, anti-slip inner surface and tread for floor grip were incorporated in the design. </p>
Customised design of a patient specific 3D printed whole mandible implant
Authors: Mohammed Mazher I. , P. Fitzpatrick Angus , Gibson Ian 
Published: February 2017

<p>In this study we investigate the design methodology for the creation of a patient specific, whole mandible implant based on a patient’s medical imaging data. We tailor the implant as a treatment option for a patient who will undergo a mandibulectomy due to cancer infiltration of the jaw. We create a 3D representative model of the patient’s skeletal structure from CT scan data, and us this to generate the implant from the patient’s corrupt mandible. In this particular case study the cancer is restricted to the right region of the mandible, and so the left side is used in a symmetry matching approach to create the final model for manufacturing. The final design was 3D printed in medical grade titanium and finished using a mechanical polishing technique, the yield a near mirror finish. We found the final implant to be highly robust, and an excellent fit to a representative model of the patient’s skeletal anatomy. We believe this approach to hold considerable potential for implementation as a treatment option for mandibular complications. </p>

Published: February 2017

<p>Additive Manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing is an emerging technology in oral &amp; maxillofacial surgery with respect to reconstructive bone surgery. Such treatment protocols often require customized implants to fulfill the functional and aesthetic requirements. Currently, such customized implants are being manufactured using AM technology. This paper describes a mandible defect of oral &amp; maxillofacial surgery. The fracture and defect of the mandible inferior border is one of the serious complications during alignment and fixing of the implant. Reconstruction of such defects is daunting tasks. The case report describes a method based on Computer Aided Design (CAD) and AM for individual design, fabrication and implantation of a mandible inferior border. A 40-year old male meet an accident with rash drive. The patient specific customized implant is designed with patient Computed Tomography (CT) data. The CT images in Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine (DICOM) file format is used to develop a 3D CAD model of customized implant. The implant is designed to maintain the symmetry of mandible from right to left. The designed implant model is manufactured by Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) techniques with a biocompatible material. The patient mandible prototype model was manufactured by AM process, which is helpful for pre-planning of surgical procedures. For these pre-planning surgical procedures, a perfect fit obtained during surgery. The patient ultimately regained reasonable mandible contour and appearance of the face. </p>
Detection of Large Bodies of Water for Heterogeneous Swarm Applications
Authors: Champion Benjamin , Benavidez Patrick , Jamshidi Mo , Joordens Matthew 
Published: February 2017

Multiple robot systems are becoming popular, as introducing more robots into a system generally means that the system is able to finish a task quickly, as well as making the system more robust. Generally, these systems are homogenous in nature as they are easier to build, test and conceptualise. More applications of these types of systems in a heterogeneous sense is becoming a must, as these robots are acting in more than one medium such as on land and underwater. In this paper a subsystem of a heterogeneous swarm is investigated where a land based robot is to drive up to the edge of a pool and stop autonomously, allowing for the transfer of an object from an underwater robot. To detect the edge of a pool an Xbox Kinect sensor is used as it was found that by using the IR feed of the camera the problem becomes significantly simpler.

Knowledge of Making Life: Design Pattern for Regenerative-Adaptive Design
Authors: Roös Phillip , Jones David 
Published: February 2017

<p>An astonishing intense fascination is under way in the design sciences, where the words of ‘living structures’ and ‘adaptive’ are being linked with ‘technology. In part fuelled by the emergence of the Anthropocene discourse, these words are inspiring authoritative new insights into the workings of wild nature, humanity’s position and responsibility to planet Earth, and is being articulated through the rapidly increasing science of pattern theory. The new terminology is provoking the design sciences to seriously consider technologically-informed innovation in design and new possibilities including living technology, morphogenetic sequences, self-organisation, generative codes, biophilia, biomimetics and regenerative-adaptive design, opening the doors to a new era in ecology-informed design. The idea of design as an adaptive and transformation process, is at the core of the whole systems theory pioneered by Alexander in <em>A Pattern Language</em> (1977) and <em>The Nature of Order</em> (2001-2005). Alexander positioned this hypothesis in generative codes supported by morphogenetic sequences. Drawing upon Alexander’s <em>The Nature of Order</em> (2001-2005), this paper advances a regenerative-adaptive design theory (Roӧs, 2016), towards a holistic integrated design method that incorporates the principles of regenerative design with an adaptive pattern language that re-establishes human wholeness with nature and offers relevant strategies towards resilience; in essence creating a living technology. </p>

Published: February 2017

<p>In this study we aim to investigate recycling of waste plastics products into filaments for use in a typical FDM 3D printing system. We investigate the parameters relating to control of the filament thickness to a variety of different plastic types, which include HDPE and ABS. Following filament generation, parameters were investigated to optimise the print parameters to produce a variety of demonstration models, which test the print resolution. Results suggest that the proposed supply chain can allow for highly repeatable ABS and HDPE filament generation with a diameter of 1.74 ± 0.1mm and 1.65 ± 0.1mm respectively. Ultimately, the production of usable filaments can provide a viable means of consuming waste plastics and reducing the burden of increased landfill. </p>

Published: February 2017

<p>Benefits from the recent technology advancement, such as physical computing and social media, it has become a global industry trend to provide intelligent exercise and self-learning support in an ‘at-home’ environment. However, it is still a design challenge to ensure the safety of users while enhancing their experiences when developing specific ‘at-home’ self-training programs which require high-level techniques, such as ballet dancing. This paper introduces Relevé - an interactive self-learning system for ballet with emphasis on various safety issues. Based on the professional knowledge of ballet dancing posture and kinematic movement research, Relevé intends to answer the needs of ballet dancing home-based self-teaching activities through online courses. The design has been based mainly on the methodologies of tangible interaction design. </p>

Published: February 2017

<p>3D printing and Building Information Modelling (BIM) are two technologies that have become increasingly popular and changed a wide variety of applications in a significant manner. 3D printing enables the design, prototyping and manufacture of items that were previously impossible or infeasible to do. Similarly, BIM is changing the way building and civil infrastructure projects are conceived, designed, delivered and maintained with a push towards a digital, wholly collaborative construction environment.</p><p>This paper examines how 3D printing and BIM can be used in a complimentary manner to help visualise and communicate important aspects of a project to the relevant stakeholders and personnel involved. By using the BIM model that has been developed for a specific project and segmenting key components of this model we can then use 3D printers to create a scaled model of the job and educate the concerned parties in the construction methodology, main risk areas, and ongoing concerns for maintenance and end-of-life deconstruction. </p>
