Monitoring an Analysis of Perturbations in Fusion Deposition Modelling (FDM) Processes for the Use of Biomaterials.

During an FDM production process, there are different external disturbances to the characteristics of the machine that can affect to the production process. These disturbances will cause the final result differs from the desired one. Moreover, these disturbances, such as temperature or chamber humidity, are extremely important in case of using biocompatible materials.

Analysis and Fem Simulation Methodology of Dynamic Behavior of Human Rotator Cuff in Repetitive Routines: Musician Case Study.

The majority of musculoskeletal injuries located in the shoulder are often due to repetitive or sustained movements that occur in work routines in different areas. In the case of musicians, such as violinists, who have long and daily training routines, the repetitive movements they perform are forced and sometimes the postures are not natural. Therefore, this article aims to study and simulate the dynamic behavior of the glenohumeral joint under repetitive conditions that represent the different postures assumed by a violinist during his daily training.

[FIXING DEVICE FOR CLOSING AND COUPLING AN INTRAVENOUS CATHETER].

Introduction: skin fixing devices in peripheral, central or arterial catheters have several important drawbacks: site infection, stacking of material in the anatomical area which is very annoying for the patient and medical staff risk when fixating stitches are used.

Objective: to develop a fixing device that simplifies presently used systems, favoring asepsis and motility.

Methods: the device herein described is composed by a mechanical fixation, a closing system and coupling for intravenous catheters.
