Application of Closed Incision Negative Pressure Wound Therapy in Ventral Hernia Repair Surgery Using a Polypropylene Mesh: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

: Surgical site infections (SSIs) are a significant complication following ventral hernia repair, potentially leading to prolonged hospital stays and increased morbidity. This study aimed to evaluate whether closed incision negative pressure wound therapy (ciNPWT) reduces the incidence of SSI after ventral hernia repair with polypropylene mesh compared to standard wound care. : A randomized study was conducted with 100 patients undergoing ventral hernia repair using a polypropylene mesh.

A Review of Patient Bed Sensors for Monitoring of Vital Signs.

The analysis of biomedical signals is a very challenging task. This review paper is focused on the presentation of various methods where biomedical data, in particular vital signs, could be monitored using sensors mounted to beds. The presented methods to monitor vital signs include those combined with optical fibers, camera systems, pressure sensors, or other sensors, which may provide more efficient patient bed monitoring results.

Wireless Measuring System for Monitoring the Condition of Devices Designed to Protect Line Structures.

A large number of rock formations in the Czech Republic and abroad directly threaten to damage objects or traffic along the roads located beneath these formations. For this reason, many such rock formations are stabilized using protective fences or dynamic barriers. There are several special sensors available on the market.

Design, Implementation and Data Analysis of an Embedded System for Measuring Environmental Quantities.

The article describes the development and implementation of a complex monitoring system for measuring the concentration of carbon dioxide, ambient temperature, relative humidity and atmospheric pressure. The presented system was installed at two locations. The first was in the rooms at the Department of Cybernetics and Biomedical Engineering, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, VŠB-Technical University of Ostrava.
