X-RAY DIAGNOSTICS OF PATHOLOGY OF MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM USING DX-D FULL LEG FULL SPINE SYSTEM

Применение системы DX-D Full Leg Full Spine относится к современным технологиям рентгенологического исследования, позволяющего получить высокое качество рентгенограммы при минимальной лучевой нагрузке. Система DX-D Full Leg Full Spine обеспечивает технологический процесс получения изображений для диагностики ортопедической патологии в положении стоя. Основная функция данной системы - автоматический технологический процесс, позволяющий на основе индивидуальных анатомических особенностей пациента за короткий промежуток времени и с высокой степенью точности подобрать необходимую металлоконструкцию, соответствующую объему оперативного вмешательства. В описанном клиническом наблюдении показано выполнение исследования нижних конечностей на рентгенологическом аппарате DX-D 300 с использованием системы DX-D Full Leg Full Spine с определением укорочения ротационной деформации правой нижней конечности, оценки структуры костей, соотношения суставных поверхностей в тазобедренных и коленных суставах

Some aspects of examination of children with combined spine and pelvis pathology living in an industrial city

The aim of the study was to analyze the peculiarities of combined spinal and pelvic pathology in children living on the industrial area of the Irkutsk Region. To perform the analysis we carried out the clinical-roentgenological research, and when making orthopedic examination we took into consideration ecological factors and used the chart of multivariative analysis. It was found that in the structure of combined pathology, pelvis asymmetry ranks first, scoliosis ranks second, Legg - Calve - Perthes disease ranks third. According to the assessment of age structure of combined pathology we can conclude that at the equal manifestations of scoliosis, Spina bifida, retrospondylolisthesis, pelvis asymmetry, children of 11-15 y.o. more often have Legg - Calve - Perthes disease, children of 16-21 y.o. - coxarthrosis. In its turn relative share of Legg - Calve - Perthes disease cases in children living within a radius of 5 km from the industrial center is the largest (21 из 28 cases). It's important to mention that Legg - Calve - Perthes disease was registered in all examined boys and only in 35.5 % of girls. I and II degrees of manifestation of clinicoroentgenologic disorders of combined spine and pelvis pathology prevail (77 and 43 cases correspondingly) over the disorders of the III degree (15 cases)

Internet of Things for Environmental Sustainability and Climate Change

Our world is vulnerable to climate change risks such as glacier retreat, rising temperatures, more variable and intense weather events (e.g., floods, droughts, and frosts), deteriorating mountain ecosystems, soil degradation, and increasing water scarcity. However, there are big gaps in our understanding of changes in regional climate and how these changes will impact human and natural systems, making it difficult to anticipate, plan, and adapt to the coming changes. The IoT paradigm in this area can enhance our understanding of regional climate by using technology solutions, while providing the dynamic climate elements based on integrated environmental sensing and communications that is necessary to support climate change impacts assessments in each of the related areas (e.g., environmental quality and monitoring, sustainable energy, agricultural systems, cultural preservation, and sustainable mining). In the IoT in Environmental Sustainability and Climate Change chapter, a framework for informed creation, interpretation and use of climate change projections and for continued innovations in climate and environmental science driven by key societal and economic stakeholders is presented. In addition, the IoT cyberinfrastructure to support the development of continued innovations in climate and environmental science is discussed

Status and initial physics performance studies of the MPD experiment at NICA

The Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility (NICA) is under construction at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR), with commissioning of the facility expected in late 2022. The Multi-Purpose Detector (MPD) has been designed to operate at NICA and its components are currently in production. The detector is expected to be ready for data taking with the first beams from NICA. This document provides an overview of the landscape of the investigation of the QCD phase diagram in the region of maximum baryonic density, where NICA and MPD will be able to provide significant and unique input. It also provides a detailed description of the MPD set-up, including its various subsystems as well as its support and computing infrastructures. Selected performance studies for particular physics measurements at MPD are presented and discussed in the context of existing data and theoretical expectations
