COMPARISON OF MONO AND POLY-AXIAL PEDICLE SCREW FIXATION IN THORACOLUMBAR A3/A4 FRACTURES by EMILIANO NEVES VIALLE, BARBARA MIROSKI DE OLIVEIRA PINTO, JOANA BRETAS CABRAL RONDOM GUASQUE, LUIZ ROBERTO GOMES VIALLE, RENATO FEDATO BERALDO

“…Results: 35 patients were included, 22 in the mono-axial group (eight patients A3 and 14 A4) and 13 in the poly-axial group (two patients A3 and 11 A4). The postoperative AVBC% was statistically superior for the mono-axial group (mean of 0.60±0.09 in the pre-operative AVBC% to 0.77±0.11 in the post-operative), compared to the poly-axial group (0.60±0.12 to 0.69± 0.13), p=0.04. ∆ AVBC% was also statistically different (0.17±0.10 in the mono-axial group and 0.08±0.12 in the poly-axial group), p=0.01. …”

Manufacturing and characterization of conductive threads based on twisting process for applying smartwear by Hyelim Kim, Soohyeon Rho, Wonyoung Jeong

“…Abstract A basic study was conducted to manufacture conductive composite threads for use in textile-type electrodes and circuits for smartwear that can be sewn, embroidered, and knitted. The two-types of poly(ethylene terephthalate(PET) filament with a circular cross-section(SD), and an oval cross-section and curved surface(DT), and the conductive yarn was selected as a silver-coated polyamide(AP). …”
