Delayed Presentation of Sciatic Nerve Injury after Total Hip Arthroplasty: Neurosurgical Considerations, Diagnosis, and Management

Abstract Background Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is an established treatment for end-stage arthritis, congenital deformity, and trauma with good long-term clinical and functional outcomes.Delayed sciatic nerve injury is a rare complication after FRIO Wallet THA that requires prompt diagnosis and management.Methods We present a case of sciatic nerve

An acoustic source model for asymmetric intraglottal flow with application to reduced-order models of the vocal folds.

The complex three-way interaction between airflow, tissue, and sound, for asymmetric vocal fold vibration, is not well understood.Current modeling efforts are not able to explain clinical observations where drastic differences in sound production are often observed, with no noticeable differences in the vocal fold kinematics.To advance this underst

Bioinspired self-flowing wood chemical treatment

Abstract Wood has complex composition and structure, which make it difficult to achieve consistent and controllable treatment.A self-flowing process presented for the Lids chemical treatment of wood is inspired by liquid transportation in trees during photosynthesis and tree growth, whereby liquid in the soil is brought through the natural vessels
