Biomechanics of the cervical spine. I: Normal kinematics

This paper presents very expensive impulse testing (also called surge testing) and turn insulation deterioration in electric motors. The tests include multiple start and stops under normal line conditions. The stresses introduced into the winding during startup and stopping process were two-fold. These stresses were the cause of the shorted turn-turn. The insulation failure mechanisms, fundamentals of impulse testing and results of various tests are presented.

Objective. Review of the literature concerning pressure ulcers in the intensive care setting. 
Data source and study selections. Computerized databases (Medline from 1980 until 1999 and CINAHL from 1982 until 1999). The indexing terms for article retrieval were: "pressure ulcers", "pressure sores", "decubitus", and "intensive care". Nineteen articles met the selection criteria, and seven more were found from the references of these articles. One thesis was also analyzed. 
Results. Data on prevention, incidence, and costs of pressure ulcers in ICU patients are scarce. Overall there are no conclusive studies on the identification of pressure ulcer risk factors. None of the existing risk-assessment scales was developed especially for use in ICU patients. It is highly questionable to what extent these scales can be used in this setting as they are not even reliable in "standard care". The following risk factors might play a role in pressure ulcer development: duration of surgery and number of operations, fecal incontinence and/or diarrhea, low preoperative protein and albumin concentrations, disturbed sensory perception, moisture of the skin, impaired circulation, use of inotropic drugs, diabetes mellitus, too unstable to turn, decreased mobility, and high APACHE II score. The number of patients per study ranged from 5 from 638. The definition of "pressure ulcer" varied widely between authors or was not mentioned. 
Conclusions. Meaningful comparison cannot be made between the various studies because of the use of different grading systems for pressure ulcers, different methods of data collection, different (or lack of) population characteristics, unreported preventive measures, and the use of different inclusion and exclusion criteria. There is a need for well-conducted studies covering all these aspects.

Pressure ulcers in intensive care patients: a review of risks and prevention.

In order to develop a preliminary core set of disease outcome measures for use in clinical trials of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM), we evaluated those measures used in previous trials, assessed the validation of published instruments and discussed these at an international consensus conference. The initial proposals were further refined by a multidisciplinary group of adult and paediatric specialists experienced in IIM using the Delphi method. The proposed preliminary core set of disease activity measures consists of five domains: physician and patient/parent global assessments of disease activity; muscle strength; physical function; serum activity of muscle enzymes; and an assessment tool to capture extra-skeletal muscle disease activity. The group recommended further development of a core set of disease damage measures for assessment of persistent changes in anatomy, pathology and function of at least 6 months' duration. The group recommended that patient-reported outcomes should include generic health-related quality of life assessments using the Medical Outcomes Study 36-item Short Form (SF-36) health survey in adult IIM patients and a validated quality of life instrument for paediatric patients. We propose the core set of outcome measures as a minimum group of assessments to include in all IIM therapeutic studies. The use of this core set should assist in standardizing outcome measurement and in optimizing therapeutic trials in myositis.

Proposed preliminary core set measures for disease outcome assessment in adult and juvenile idiopathic inflammatory myopathies.
