Detection of Pharmaceutical Personal Protective Equipment in Video Stream.

Pharmaceutical manufacturing is a complex process, where each stage requires a high level of safety and sterility. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is used for this purpose. Despite all the measures of control, human factor (improper PPE wearing) causes numerous losses for human health and material property.

Surgical Treatment of Metatarsalgia and Severe Instability of Lesser Metatarsophalangeal Joints.

The main object of this prospective cohort study was to compare surgical treatment options for primary metatarsalgia and the severe instability of lesser metatarsophalangeal joints. The outcomes of triple Weil osteotomy combined with direct plantar plate repair and triple Weil osteotomy, performed with proximal interphalangeal joint arthrodesis, are analyzed and compared. One hundred thirteen patients (117 feet) were enrolled in the study.

Clinical and biomechanics effects of modified Helal osteotomy with screw fixation in forefoot reconstruction.

Purpose: The object of this study was to assess the efficacy of Helal metatarsal osteotomy with screw fixation in patients with hammertoe deformities.

Methods: Thirty-five patients (66 feet, 66 metatarsals) with hammertoe deformity underwent Helal osteotomy with screw fixation after first ray reconstruction. Pre- and postoperative AOFAS scale results, podobarometry (in-shoe plantar pressure), and X-ray (angular) parameters were analyzed.

Complex trigger wrist associated with carpal tunnel syndrome: a case report.

Background: There are few reports of trigger wrist in the literature, as it is a rare pathology. Furthermore, various authors report that it is also hard to diagnose. It manifests with neurological symptoms at the affected wrist, which are usually induced by wrist movement, and can lead to partial or full loss of wrist function and sensitivity.

Using Multiple Decomposition Methods and Cluster Analysis to Find and Categorize Typical Patterns of EEG Activity in Motor Imagery Brain-Computer Interface Experiments.

In this study, the sources of EEG activity in motor imagery brain-computer interface (BCI) control experiments were investigated. Sixteen linear decomposition methods for EEG source separation were compared according to different criteria. The criteria were mutual information reduction between the source activities and physiological plausibility.
