Trial femoral head loss in to the soft tissues of pelvis during primary total hip replacement: a case report

The loss of trial femoral head in the soft tissues is a rare per operative complication in total hips replacement. We report the loss of the femoral head in surrounding hip joint soft tissues and unsuccessful attempts to locate and remove it. Surgeons should be aware of such complication as trial femoral heads usually are made from non radiolucent material and cannot be detected by regular x-ray examination during surgery. The industry should consider manufacturing trial femoral heads from x-ray visible material

Delayed hospitalization increases mortality in displaced femoral neck fracture patients

Background and purpose Reports regarding the relationship between delayed surgery and mortality in femoral neck fracture patients are contradictory. We could not find any study in the literature investigating delayed arrival to hospital and delayed surgery as separate factors affecting mortality in femoral neck fracture patients, which was the purpose of our study

The Application of a CMR-B-Scalar Sensor for the Investigation of the Electromagnetic Acceleration of Type II Superconductors

In this paper, we investigated the behavior of a type II superconducting armature when accelerated by a pulsed magnetic field generated by a single-stage pancake coil. While conducting this investigation, we performed a numerical finite element simulation and an experimental study of the magnetic field dynamics at the edge of the pancake coil when the payload was a superconducting disc made from YBa2Cu3O7−x, cooled down to 77 K. The magnetic field measurements were performed using a CMR-B-scalar sensor, which was able to measure the absolute magnitude of the magnetic field and was specifically manufactured in order to increase the sensor’s sensitivity up to 500 mT. It was obtained that type II superconducting armatures can outperform normal metals when the launch conditions are tailored to their electromagnetic properties

The experimental evidence of a strong coupling regime in the hybrid Tamm plasmon-surface plasmon polariton mode

Total internal reflection ellipsometry was employed for the excitation and study of hybrid Tamm plasmon-surface plasmon polaritons mode. Simple optical methodology using optical filters to cut the part of incident light spectra was proposed. Using optical filters measured energy spectra was divided into two parts where in each range only one branch of the hybrid TPP-SPP plasmonic mode was excited directly by the incident light. Present experimental studies have shown, that if the investigated system is in strong coupling, this is always enough to excite only one component of the hybrid excitation. Thus, its dispersion relation will be the same as when the excitation is done with a whole spectrum. In the case of the TPP-SPP hybrid mode where strong coupling is realized only in p-polarized light, the fitting results have shown that the strongest coupling was at the point where the noninteracting TPP and SPP curves should be crossing. The obtained Rabi splitting for the hybrid TPP and SPP modes in BK7 prism/1D PC TiO2/SiO2 (60 nm/110 nm)/TiO2 (30 nm)/Au (40 nm) multilayered structure was about 105 meV

Increase of the photoconductivity quantum yield in silicon irradiated by neutrons to extremely high fluences

An enhanced quantum yield observed in silicon ionizing radiation detectors, neutron-irradiated to extremely high fluences, could be attributed to impact ionization via deep levels. The quantum yield was investigated by the intrinsic photoconductivity optical spectroscopy in silicon irradiated by neutrons to a wide range of fluences up to $1 \times 10^{17}$ neutron cm$^{-2}$. An increase of quantum yield was observed in highly irradiated samples. We have demonstrated that the quantum yield enhancement could be attributed to the impact ionization via deep levels, this process being presumably related to disordered defect clusters regions in Si. The proposed mechanism explains the observed decrease of the impact ionization energy by at least an order of magnitude at low temperature. The impact ionization energy values of up to 0.30–0.36 eV and less, and 0.38–0.40 eV were determined at T ∼ 21–33 K and at T = 195 K, respectively
