A 58 year old man was brought to hospital in state of deep coma following severe headache for one day. His GCS was 3/15 and had flaccid all 4 limbs with equivocal planter response on both sides on arrival. NECT head showed acute subdural haemorrhage with surrounding cerebral oedema, mid-line shift and corning of brain stem. After giving mannitol and dexamethasone, four hours later, he became fully conscious and orientated; his motor power returned to normal. He was on warfarin 3mg daily for rheumatic mitral valvular heart disease with atrial fibrillation and his INR on arrival was 3.5. He had intractable hiccups once he regained consciousness. Both pharmacological and non-pharmacological measures were tried for distressing hiccups; there was no therapeutic success. His hiccups disappeared completely only after removing the haematoma by burr hole surgery.

Abstract The maximum instantaneous power consumption of robot drives determines the requirements for the energy supply system and the dimensions of the machine. For numerous machines, there are no technological restrictions on the types of applied motion laws and their numerical characteristics i.e. maximum speeds and accelerations. The type of the motion law and especially its parameters are traditionally determined according to the preferences of the design engineer without any justification, though some-times restrictions on maximum accelerations or speeds are considered. The restrictions on maximum accelerations are related to ensuring the strength and accuracy of the drive, and the restrictions on maximum speeds are related to the safety of personnel in the workplace. The motor power is selected according to the maximum value of the instantaneous power and thermal load, which depends on the duration of switching on. The article analyzes the ways of minimizing of this maximum (peak) of instantaneous power inside the cycle for different laws and different loads. The main parameter by which the maximum (peak) power is minimized for all types of laws is the acceleration and braking times. On the example of the most common motion laws, the dependence of instantaneous power and energy consumption on accelerating time and braking time for various types of loads are studied. In this article, the dependence of instantaneous power and energy consumption on accelerating time and braking time for various types of loads are studied on the example of the most common motion laws. The research results are intended to create a design technique for drives of modern equipment.

Background: Different procedures have been developed to improve the surgical outcome of peripheral nerve injuries. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of wrapping the neurorrhaphy site utilizing dura substitute graft as an alternative conduit in the management of peripheral nerve injury. Methods: This retrospective clinical case series included 42 patients with a single peripheral nerve injury. The mean age was 26.8 ± 11 years, and the mean duration of symptoms was 3 ± 1.8 months. The visual analogue score (VAS) for pain and the Medical Research Council’s (MRC) grading for motor power were used to evaluate the functional outcome among our patients. All patients were operated on for primary microscopic end-to-end repair, followed by wrapping the neurorrhaphy site with dura substitute graft as a conduit. Patients were followed in the outpatient clinic with regular visits for average of 6 months. Results: Thirty-seven patients (83%), showed functional improvement in all aspects, the VAS for pain and the MRC for motor power, as well as the functional state. One patient (2.3%) developed a postoperative hematoma collection, which needed immediate evacuation. Superficial wound infection, reported in two patients (4.7%), was treated conservatively. No postoperative neuroma was observed among our patients during the follow-up period. Conclusion: Wrapping the neurorrhaphy site utilizing dura substitute as conduit appears to be safe and might prove effective in managing peripheral nerve injury.

Early detection of faults in DC motors extends their life and lowers their power usage. There are a variety of traditional and soft computing techniques for detecting faults in DC motors. Many diagnostic techniques have been developed in the past to detect such fault-related patterns. These methods for detecting the aforementioned potential failures of motors can be utilized in a variety of scientific and technological domains. Motor Power Pattern Analysis (MPPA) is a technology that analyzes the current and voltage provided to an electric motor using particular patterns and protocols to assess the operational status of the motors without disrupting production. Engineers and researchers, particularly in industries, face a difficult challenge in monitoring spinning types of equipment. In this work, we are going to explain how to use the motor power pattern/signature analysis (MPPA) of a power signal driving a servo to find mechanical defects in a gear train. A hardware setup is used to simplify the demonstration of obtaining spectral metrics from the power consumption signals. A DC motor, a set of metal or nylon drive gears, and a control circuit are employed. The speed control circuit was eliminated to allow direct monitoring of the DC motor's current profiles. Infrared (IR) photo-interrupters with a 35 mm diameter, eight-holed, standard servo wheel were employed to gather the tachometer signal at the servo's output. The mean value of the measurements was 318 V for the healthy profile, while it was 330 V for the faulty gears power data. The proposed power consumption profile analysis approach succeeds to recognize the mechanical faults in the gear-box of a DC servomotor via examining the mean level of the power consumption pattern as well as the extraction of the Power Spectral Density (PSD) through comparing faulty and healthy profiles
