Prandtl-Meyer flow tables for parahydrogen at total temperatures from 30K to 290K and for nitrogen at total temperatures from 100K to 300K at total pressures from 1 ATM to 10 ATM

The dependency of Mach number on the Prandtl-Meyer function was numerically determined by iterating the Prandtl-Meyer function and applying the Muller method to converge on the Mach number for flows in cryogenic parahydrogen and nitrogen at various total pressures and total temperatures. The results are compared with the ideal diatomic gas values and are presented in tabular form

Tables of isentropic expansions of parahydrogen and related transport properties for total temperatures from 25 K to 300 K and for total pressures from 1 ATM to 10 ATM

The isentropic expansions of parahydrogen at various total pressures and total temperatures were numerically determined by iterating Mach number and by using a modified interval halving method. The calculated isentropic values and related properties are presented in tabulated form

A COMPUTATIONAL MODEL TO INVESTIGATE SHOE AND SHOE-SURFACE INTERFACE EFFECTS ON ANKLE LIGAMENT STRAINS DURING A SIMULATED SIDESTEP CUTTING TASK

Ankle sprains account for 10% to 15% of reported sports injuries. High ankle sprains are currently thought due to torsional loads and potentially debilitating to the athlete. In the current study a computational model was developed to investigate the human response in shoes on different athletic playing surfaces during a simulated sidestep cutting task. Ankle ligament strains were obtained from the model to help predict ankle injury. The model may provide a computational basis for studying shoes and shoe-surface interfaces that can be used to help optimize player performance and minimize injury risk

PREDICTION OF ANKLE JOINT TORQUES USING ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS

Major ankle sprains in sports are thought to be due to high levels of ankle torsion. The purpose of this study was to develop a method for measuring in vivo ankle torques developed by athletes. Motion capture, force plate, and insole pressure measurements were used to develop generalized regression neural networks to predict maximum ankle torque and rate of ankle torque based on insole pressures. It was found that network prediction accuracy depended on the number of subjects used for training, as well as the method of pressure sensor grouping. Further work will be performed to determine optimal subject and pressure sensor groupings

Using structured and unstructured data to identify patients’ need for services that address the social determinants of health

Introduction Increasingly, health care providers are adopting population health management approaches that address the social determinants of health (SDH). However, effectively identifying patients needing services that address a SDH in primary care settings is challenging. The purpose of the current study is to explore how various data sources can identify adult primary care patients that are in need of services that address SDH. Methods A cross-sectional study described patients in need of SDH services offered by a safety-net hospital’s federally qualified health center clinics. SDH services of social work, behavioral health, nutrition counseling, respiratory therapy, financial planning, medical-legal partnership assistance, patient navigation, and pharmacist consultation were offered on a co-located basis and were identified using structured billing and scheduling data, and unstructured electronic health record data. We report the prevalence of the eight different SDH service needs and the patient characteristics associated with service need. Moreover, characteristics of patients with SDH services need documented in structured data sources were compared with those documented by unstructured data sources. Results More than half (53%) of patients needed SDH services. Those in need of such services tended to be female, older, more medically complex, and higher utilizers of services. Structured and unstructured data sources exhibited poor agreement on patient SDH services need. Patients with SDH services need documented by unstructured data tended to be more complex. Discussion The need for SDH services among a safety-net population is high. Identifying patients in need of such services requires multiple data sources with structured and unstructured data

Amnesia Associated with Bilateral Hippocampal and Bilateral Basal Ganglia Lesions in Anoxia with Stimulant Use

We report a case of a 55-year-old man with ischemic lesions of the bilateral hippocampus and bilateral basal ganglia following a myocardial infarction during an episode of multiple drug use with subsequent anoxia requiring resuscitation. He presented for a neuropsychological evaluation with an anterograde amnesia for both explicit and procedural memory. There are two main points to this case, the unique aspects of the bilateral multifocal lesions and the functional, cognitive impact of these lesions. We hypothesize that his rare focal bilateral lesions of both the hippocampus and basal ganglia are a result of anoxia acting in synergy with his stimulant drug use (cocaine and/or 3,4-methylenedioxy-methamphetamine). Second, his unique lesions produced an explicit and implicit/procedural anterograde amnesia
