Triboelectric touch sensor for position mapping during total hip arthroplasty
Abstract Objective In this research, a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) was utilized to determine if a pressure-based sensor could detect bearing friction in a total hip arthroplasty (THA) Toys and detect the contact of specific areas during ROM checks.Results The pressure-based sensor shows capability to sense bearing friction.In more detail, th
Somatic pairing, endomitosis and chromosome aberrations in snakes (Viperidae and Colubridae)
The positioning of macrochromosomes of Bothrops jararaca and Bothrops insularis (Viperidae) was studied in undistorted radial metaphases of uncultured cells (spermatogonia and oogonia) not subjected to spindle inhibitors.Colchicinized metaphases from uncultured (spleen and intestine) and cultured tissues (blood) were also analyzed.We report two ant
