In this research, we propose a new method to estimate the operating force exerted when moving an object with the hands by observing the human motion only. The required force for moving the object can be estimated without equipping any sensors on the object or on the human body. From the measured joint angles, we calculate the center of mass and the hand's position using a human model. Then, the operating forces of the hands can be estimated by considering the balance of forces and moments using a dynamic model. In the experiments, we estimated the operating force of the hands for three representative movements of operating a box: pushing, pulling and lifting. By comparing the estimated and measured operating force, we verified the effectiveness of the proposed method with human subjects.

Bifurcating Method for Subcutaneous Indwelling of Nonabsorbable Threads.
Plast Reconstr Surg Glob Open
January 2025
From the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Keio University School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan.
Subcutaneous indwelling of nonabsorbable threads for tissue fixation and tension reduction is often used in plastic surgery and is applied in breast reduction surgery, umbilicoplasty, and in frontalis muscle lifting for congenital ptosis. However, in a few cases, exposure of the indwelling thread necessitates its removal. Exposure of the indwelling threads mostly occurs due to exposure of the knots.

Learn Health Syst
January 2025
Introduction: Like many other academic medical centers, the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) aspires to adopt learning health system (LHS) principles and practices more fully. Applying LHS principles establishes a culture where clinical and operational practices constantly generate questions and leverage information technology (IT) and methodological expertise to facilitate systematic evaluation of care delivery, health outcomes, and the effects of improvement initiatives. Despite the potential benefits, differences in priorities, timelines, and expectations spanning an academic medical center's clinical care, administrative operations, and research arms create barriers to adopting and implementing an LHS.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA, USA.
Background: Limitations to using the knee as donor cartilage include cartilage thickness mismatch and donor site morbidity. Using the radial head as donor autograft for capitellar lesions may allow for local graft harvest without distant donor site morbidity. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility of performing local osteochondral autograft transfer from the nonarticular cartilaginous rim of the radial head to the capitellum.

Objective: To identify independent risk factors for Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis (HSPN) in pediatric patients.
Methods: This study enrolled 180 pediatric patients (90 with HSP, 90 with HSPN) hospitalized at the 940th Hospital of the Joint Logistics Support Force of the Chinese People's Liberation Army from December 2022 to October 2023, with a follow-up of at least six months. Clinical data were collected at the time of the first onset of HSP.
Risk factors for postoperative relapse of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps and improvement in clinical treatment.

Department of Otolaryngology, Air Force Hospital of The Central Theater Command of PLA Datong 037006, Shanxi, China.
Objectives: To identify the risk factors for postoperative relapse of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) using multivariate Logistic regression analysis and to explore potential improvements in clinical treatment measures.
Methods: We selected 270 CRSwNP patients who underwent surgery at The First People's Hospital of Jiangxia District between January 2022 and July 2024. The patients were divided into two groups based on the presence or absence of postoperative relapse: 40 cases with relapse were designated as the relapse group, and the other 230 cases without relapse were designated as the non-relapse group.
