Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of warm acupuncture at Shu and Mu acupoints combined with bladder functional training in the treatment of spasm type of neurogenic bladder after spinal cord injury (SCI).Methods:A total of ninety patients with spasm type of neurogenic bladder after incomplete SCI were randomly assigned to the bladder funct
Channel Modelling for Multiprobe Over-the-Air MIMO Testing
This paper discusses over-the-air (OTA) test setup for multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) capable terminals with emphasis on channel BUTTON DOWNS modelling.The setup is composed of a fading emulator, an anechoic chamber, and multiple probes.Creation of a propagation environment inside an anechoic chamber requires unconventional radio channel mod
Slack in the infrastructure of intensive care units: resilience management in the post-pandemic era
Abstract Background Although slack is an asset to resilient hospitals, it is usually explicitly discussed only in terms of the quantity and quality of beds and staff.This paper expands this view by addressing slack in four infrastructures of intensive care units (ICUs) (physical space, electricity supply, oxygen supply, and air treatment) during th
Emergence of new types of Theileria orientalis in Australian cattle and possible cause of theileriosis outbreaks
Abstract Theileria parasites cause a benign infection of cattle in parts of Australia where they are endemic, but have, in recent years, been suspected of being responsible for a number of outbreaks of disease in cattle near the coast of New South Wales.The objective of this study was to identify and characterize the species of Theileria in cattle
Experimental Investigation of a Temperature Change inside Pneumatic Cylinder Chambers
The investigation of the existence of a tempera-ture change with pressure inside the pneumatic cylinder chambers during the charging and dis-charging strokes in the pneumatic cylinder is ex-perimentally demonstrated.Three different varia-bles (pressure, piston displacement and tempera-ture) were measured in this work while operating BUTTON DOWNS wi
