Morphing Concept for Multirotor UAVs Enabling Stability Augmentation and Multiple-Parcel Delivery

This paper presents a novel morphing concept for multirotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to optimize the vehicle ight performance during multi-parcel deliveries. Abrupt changes in the vehicle weight distribution during a parcel delivery can cause the UAVs to be unbalanced. This is usually compensated by the vehicle ight control system but the motors may need to operate outside their design range which can deteriorate the stability and performance of the system. Morphing the geometry of a conventional multirotor airframe enables the vehicle to continuously re-balanced itself which improves the overall vehicle performance and safety. The paper derives expressions for the static stability of multirotor UAVs and discusses the experimental implementation of the morphing technology on a Y6 tricopter configuration. Flight test results of multi-parcel delivery scenarios demonstrate the capability of the proposed technology to balance the throttle outputs of all rotors

Maternal near-miss and mortality associated with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy remote from term: a multicenter observational study in Ghana

BACKGROUND: Maternal death rates remain high in many low- and middle-income countries. Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy account for 18% of maternal mortality in Ghana. The maternal near-miss approach was designed to evaluate severe (acute) complications in pregnancy, which is useful to detect potential areas for clinical care improvement. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed (1) to determine the incidence of severe maternal complications, maternal near-miss cases, and mortality cases associated with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy remote from term and (2) to assess the health system's performance indicators for the management of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy remote from term in middle-income country referral hospitals. STUDY DESIGN: This study was nested in the ongoing Severe Preeclampsia adverse Outcome Triage study, a multicenter observational cohort study, and included women recruited from December 1, 2017, to May 31, 2020, from 5 referral hospitals in Ghana. Women aged >16 years, admitted to the hospital with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, with gestational age between 26 and 34 weeks were eligible. Near miss was defined according to the World Health Organization and sub-Saharan African near-miss criteria. Descriptive statistics of pregnancy and maternal and perinatal outcomes up to 6 weeks after delivery of women with severe maternal outcomes were presented for maternal deaths and maternal near-miss casigurees and compared with that of women without severe maternal outcomes. The health system's maternal and perinatal performance indicators were calculated. RESULTS: Overall, 447 women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy were included in the analyses with a mean maternal age of 32 (±5.8) years and mean gestational age at recruitment of 30.5 (±2.4) weeks. Of these patients, 46 (10%) had gestational hypertension, 338 (76%) had preeclampsia, and 63 (14%) had eclampsia. There were 148 near-miss cases (33.1%) and 12 maternal deaths (2.7%). Severe maternal outcomes constituted complications from severe preeclampsia (80/160 [50%]) and eclampsia (63/160 [39.4%]). Concerning organ dysfunction, hematologic and respiratory dysfunctions constituted 59/160 [38.6%] and 23/160 [14.8%] respectively. Nearly all women had a cesarean delivery (347/447 [84%] and 140/160 [93%] in the severe maternal outcome group) and delivered prematurely (83%, with 178/379 [93%] at <32 weeks of gestation). Stillbirth and neonatal deaths occurred in 63 of 455 women (14%) and 81 of 392 women (19%), respectively, constituting a stillbirth ratio of 161 per 1000 live births and neonatal mortality rate of 207 per 1000 live births as there were 392 live births in this cohort. Overall, the intensive care unit admission rate was 12.7% (n=52/409); moreover, 45 of 52 women (86.5%) admitted to the intensive care unit had severe maternal outcomes. The maternal death ratio was 3100 per 100,000 live births, the maternal near-miss–to–mortality ratio was 12.3, and the mortality index was 8%. CONCLUSION: Maternal near miss and maternal and perinatal mortalities were common in women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy remote from term in referral hospitals in Ghana. Providing appropriate patient-centered and multidisciplinary quality care for these women is crucial in improving pregnancy outcomes. Context-tailored interventions should be considered in the clinical management of complications associated with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy in resource-limited settings. Further research on interventions to improve timely referral and reduce in-hospital delays in care provision is recommended to facilitate emergency care services for women with hypertensive emergencies

Bio-Shield medical waste processing unit: Final report

Medical waste processors are large pieces of machinery which sterilize medical waste so that it may then be disposed of as non-hazardous waste. The primary components include grinders, conveyors, autoclave, steam generation, housing and frame. Recently, tests on medical waste have proven that static (non-rotating) autoclaves do not effectively disinfect hazardous materials. Although alternatives to the autoclave method of sterilizing waste exist, the autoclave has shown to be the most effective and environmentally friendly method. The solution to the unreliable static autoclave is a rotating autoclave, which has been developed by Bio-Shield, an up and coming company which hopes to redefine the medical waste sterilization market. Though they once operated a large format mobile medical waste grinding system, this quickly proved to not be financially viable. Responding to an industry need, the new goal of Bio-Shield is to place a fractional size system inside hospitals. By decreasing the scale of these processors to one-third of the developed load input, units will be able to be rented by hospitals and transported from one place to another to allow for extremely convenient methods of converting biomedical hazard into dumpster waste. Bio-Shield has agreed to pay for the final design of this unit and, once completed, it will serve to revolutionize the industry and create a brand new business in Oklahoma. The senior design team's goal was to evaluate the concept developed by Bio-Shield and identify strengths and weakness to implement as many improvements as possible

Efektivitas matriks komposit bovine hydroxyapatite-gelatin sebagai sistem penghantaran gentasimin dan regenerasi tulang pada bone defect

Bovine hydroxyapatite and gelatin (BHA-GEL) were used as bone regeration and a biodegradable delivery system for the administration of gentamicin sulfate (GEN) in prevention and treatment infection of bone defects, were synthesized. The materials, which ovoid bone infection, are exclusively composed of gentamicin sulfate; bioactive bovine hydroxyapatite and gelatin were manufacture as pellet of the mixed components and characterized in vitro. Cross-linking reaction was required to control the water penetration, swelling and release of gentamicin from the pellet. In vitro gentamicin release from the pellet at conditions of pH and temperature body were studied for 4 weeks and the sample was able to inhibit of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli growth, both in surrounding liquid and on matrix surface. The BHA-GEL-GEN crosslinking with glutaraldehyde (GA) were nontoxic to human osteoblasts and promote their proliveration. The results indicate that BHA-GEL-GEN with GA non-toxic and selfiendly-is promising biomaterial of significantly prolonged antibacterial activity
