Background: This study presented the load profile applied on transfemoral osseointegrated implants by bone-anchored prostheses fitted with state-of-the-art ÖSSUR microprocessor-controlled Rheo Knee XC and energy-storing-and-returning Pro-Flex XC or LP feet during five standardized daily activities.

Methods: This cross-sectional cohort study included 13 participants fitted with a press-fit transfemoral osseointegrated implant. Loading data were directly measured with the tri-axial transducer of an iPecsLab (RTC Electronics, USA) fitted between the implant and knee unit.

Objective: The equinovarus deformity of the foot and digital scrolling is very common among people with sequelae from cerebrovascular accidents. The aim of this study was focused on changes produced by surgical correction of the deformity in terms of comfort, balance, independence and ability to move freely within the context of the daily life of the patient.

Material And Methods: The data was evaluated using a retrospective survey and a prospective analysis of gait habits using a recording walking device (WalkinSense(®)) before and after surgery.

Vaccinia virus produces several forms of infectious virions. Intracellular mature virions (IMV) assemble in areas close to the cell nucleus. Some IMV acquire an envelope from intracellular membranes derived from the trans-Golgi network, producing enveloped forms found in the cytosol (intracellular enveloped virus; IEV), on the cell surface (cell-associated enveloped virus) or free in the medium (extracellular enveloped virus; EEV).

In this study the authors evaluate the history of drug abuse, the familial and sociodemographic influence on the clinical evolution of 74 heroin-addicts, admitted sequentially to a therapeutic drug-free program named Sequential Combined Treatment (SCT), based on family and individual counselling, with a daily administration of naltrexone and with regular evaluation of drug abstinence, based on urinary analysis collected by family members. The enrollment rate recorded was 76%, and the participation rates during the course of the program were 88% after 3 months of administering the antagonist, 57% after 6 months, 47% after 9 months and 46% at the end of the 12th month. The results showed that age and previous scholarship levels, as well as parental or marital conflicts were significant predictors of over the subjects' total participation time in the program.
