Effects of repetitive low-acceleration impacts on attitude estimation with micro-electromechanical inertial measurement units.

Inertial Measurement Units are present in several applications in aerospace, unmanned vehicle navigation, legged robots, and human motion tracking systems, due to their ability to estimate a body's acceleration, orientation and angular rate. In contrast to rovers and drones, legged locomotion involves repeated impacts between the feet and the ground, and rapid locomotion (e.g.

[Adherence to international guidelines on early management in severe sepsis and septic shock].

Introduction: Complete adherence to early goal-directed therapy has shown a significant reduction in 28-day mortality rate, whereas partial adherence has not shown beneficial effect.

Objectives: The effect of adherence to 6 hour sepsis bundle treatment was evaluated on patients with severe sepsis and septic shock.

Materials And Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted during a six-month period.
