Background: The surgery of knee replacement due to degenerative changes is the last step of the treatment. After surgery, a major problem in patients is pain, swelling, intraarticular hematoma, and the restriction of the mobility of the joint. The aim of this work was to determine the effect of Kinesio Taping (KT) on reducing edema of the subcutaneous tissue and improving the range of motion in the joint.

Methods: 82 patients were qualified for the study. After surgery, 42 patients received postoperative edema treatment with KT bands, and 40 patients did not receive the treatment. The swelling thickness and range of mobility were measured on the third and eighth days after the operation.

Results: A statistical difference between the longitudinal measurements of the KT group and the group without KT application was shown at the level of the fibula head, 25 mm below the fibula neck, and 50 mm below the fibular neck. There were no statistically significant differences in the change in knee angle between the applied and non-applied patients.

Conclusion: The lymphatic application technique KT influences the absorption of subcutaneous edema after primary knee joint replacement surgery but has no influence on mobility.

Playing hide and seek: Distribution with depth of potentially harmful epibenthic dinoflagellates of Southern El Hierro Island, Canary Islands (NE Atlantic).

Authors:

Harmful Algae 2022 Aug 22;117:102271. Epub 2022 Jun 22.

Observatorio Canario de HABs, FCPCT-ULPGC, Parque Científico Tecnológico Marino de Taliarte, 35214 Taliarte, Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Spain; Grupo de Ecofisiología Marina (EOMAR), IU-ECOAQUA, Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Campus Universitario de Tafira, 35017, Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Spain.

The study of epibenthic assemblages of harmful dinoflagellates (BHABs) is commonly conducted in shallow infralittoral zones (0 - 5 m) and are seldom investigated at deeper waters. In this study, the distribution with depth of five BHAB genera (Gambierdiscus, Ostreopsis, Prorocentrum, Coolia and Amphidinium) was investigated in the south of El Hierro island (Canary Islands, Spain). Sampling involved the use of a standardized artificial substrate deployed at three depth levels (5, 10 and 20 m) that were visited at three different times throughout one year. Read More

Introduction: The severity of a foot or ankle deformity is a major prognostic factor for the success of ankle replacement. Varus deformity is at once the most arthrogenic and the most frequent.

Hypothesis: The severity of preoperative varus is a negative factor for ankle replacement survival. Read More

Department of Computer Science, Colby College, Waterville, 04901, ME, USA. Electronic address:

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have made significant advances over the past decade with visual recognition, matching or exceeding human performance on certain tasks. Visual recognition is subserved by the ventral stream of the visual system, which, remarkably, CNNs also effectively model. Inspired by this connection, we investigated the extent to which CNNs account for human heading perception, an important function of the complementary dorsal stream. Read More

Spatial-Temporal Pyramid Graph Reasoning for Action Recognition.

Authors:
Tiantian Geng Feng Zheng Xiaorong Hou Ke Lu Guo-Jun Qi Ling Shao

IEEE Trans Image Process 2022 Aug 9;PP. Epub 2022 Aug 9.

Spatial-temporal relation reasoning is a significant yet challenging problem for video action recognition. Previous works typically apply local operations like 2D or 3D CNNs to conduct space-time interactions in video sequences, or simply capture space-time long-range relations of a single fixed scale. However, this is inadequate for obtaining a comprehensive action representation. Read More
