Clinical Effect of Extracorporeal Shock Wave on Hand Function Recovery after Conservative Therapy of Colles Fracture by Chao ZHANG, Bin HE

“…The control group was trained with general hand function recovery rehabilitation approach, the ESWT group was treated with extracorporeal shock wave therapy on the basis of the control group.Results:After treatment, the AROM and TAM scores of wrists of the two groups were significantly improved than those before treatment, with statistically significant differences (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05), ESWT group improved more significantly than the control group (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05);the VAS scores and DASH scores of both groups were significantly lower than those before treatment, with statistically significant differences (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05), the scores of ESWT group reduced more significantly than the control group (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05).Conclusion:Combined with hand function rehabilitation, extracorporeal shock wave can improve joint mobility, hand function and activities of daily living more effectively after conservative treatment of Colles fractures, and can effectively reduce patients' edema and pain.…”

Electrogeneration of non-electroactive and non-conducting materials: a counterintuitive concept for the functionalization and nanostructuration of electrode surfaces by Walcarius, Alain

“…It is mainly based on electrochemically induced redox reactions involving electroactive precursors, which are intended to form solid deposits onto the electrode surface. More recently, a rather counterintuitive approach has emerged by exploiting electrochemistry to generate non-electroactive and non-conductive thin films (e.g., sol–gel derived materials), based on the electrogeneration of a catalyst that is likely to induce indirectly the formation of a thin film (i.e., without direct electron transfer with the precursors). …”
