A szerző a magzatok csontjainak és ízületeinek funkcióját, majd patológiáját tárgyalja. A csontok biztosítják a test statikáját, a koponya és a gerincoszlop védi a központi idegrendszert, a mellkas a szívet és a tüdőt, a medence pedig a hasi szerveket. Mindezek kóros elváltozásai veszélyeztetik a szervek normális működését. A csontok mozgását az ízületek és az izmok teszik lehetővé. A végtagok abnormalitásai a mozgásokat korlátozzák („foetal akinesia deformation sequence”). Akinesiát idézhetnek elő elsősorban a csont-, az ízületi, továbbá idegrendszeri, izom-, esetleg bőrbetegségek, amelyek befolyásolják a csontok és ízületek állapotát, funkcióképességét. Mindezek a kóros elváltozások aktivitáskorlátozást vagy rokkantságot okoznak, súlyos esetben halálosak. Ultrahanggal a betegségek korán kimutathatók, és reménytelen esetben a terhesség megszakítása javasolt.

Morquio syndrome is a rare disease caused by a disorder in the storage of mucopolysaccharides that affects multiple organs, including musculoskeletal, respiratory, cardiovascular, and digestive systems. Respiratory failure is one of the leading causes of mortality in Morquio patients; thus, respiratory function testing is vital to the management of the disease. An automated respiratory assessment methodology using the pneuRIP device and a machine-learning algorithm was developed. pneuRIP is a noninvasive approach that uses differences between thoracic and abdominal movements (thoracic-abdominal asynchrony) during respiration to assess respiratory status. The technique was evaluated on 17 patients with Morquio (9 females and 8 males) between the ages of 2 and 57 years. The results of the automated technique agreed with the clinical assessment in 16 out of the 17 patients. It was found that the inverse cumulative percentage representation of the time delay between the thorax and abdomen was the most critical variable for accurate evaluation. It was demonstrated that the technique could be successfully used on patients with Morquio who have difficulty breathing with 100% compliance. This technique is highly accurate, portable, noninvasive, and easy to administer, making it suitable for a variety of settings, such as outpatient clinics, at home, and emergency rooms.

Theory And Modeling

ABSTRACTIt is well known from studies of individual interfaces that grain boundaries exhibit a spectrum of properties because their structure is misorientation dependent. Usually this variability is neglected and properties are modeled using a mean field approach. The limitations inherent in this approach can be overcome, in principle, using a combination of experimental techniques, theory and modeling. The bamboo structure of an interconnect is a particularly simple polycrystalline structure that can now be readily characterized experimentally and modeled in the computer. The grain misorientations in a [111] textured aluminum line have been measured using the new automated technique of orientational imaging microscopy. By relating boundary angle to diffusivity the expected stress voiding failure processes can be predicted through the link between misorientation angle, grain boundary excess free energy and diffusivity. Consequently it can be shown that the high energy boundaries are the favored failure sites thermodynamically and kinetically.

Automated Technique

An automated technique has been developed for assessing the extent to which existing or potential materials for the construction of indwelling catheters become encrusted during exposure to infected urine. In this technique the enzyme urease is added to artificial urine containing albumin in a reaction vessel which contains the samples to be tested. Controlled replacement of reactants leads to appreciable formation of encrusting deposits which adhere firmly to the surface of the test samples. Deposits have the same chemical composition as those which encrust catheters in vivo.
