SERRATUS MUSCLE STIMULATION EFFECTIVELY TREATS NOTALGIA PARESTHETICA CAUSED BY LONG THORACIC NERVE DYSFUNCTION: A CASE SERIES

Serratus muscle stimulation effectively treats notalgia paresthetica caused by long thoracic nerve dysfunction: a case series

Abstract Currently, notalgia paresthetica (NP) is a poorly-understood condition diagnosed on the basis of pruritus, pain, or both, in the area medial to the scapula and lateral to the thoracic spine.It has been proposed that NP is caused by degenerative changes to the T2-T6 vertebrae, genetic disposition, or nerve entrapment of the posterior rami o

A Minimal Supervisory Structure to Optimally Enforce Liveness on Petri Net Models for Flexible Manufacturing Systems

This paper presents a new method of computing a minimal supervisory structure that optimally enforces liveness on the Petri net models for flexible manufacturing systems (FMSs).The proposed method utilizes the structural properties of a Petri net model to avoid the computation of its reachability graph, which in general leads to the state explosion

Interactive Field Effect of Atomic Bonding Forces on the Equivalent Elastic Modulus Estimation of Micro-Level Single-Crystal Copper by Utilizing Atomistic-Continuum Finite Element Simulation

This study uses the finite element Combiner Wars analysis (FEA)-based atomistic-continuum method (ACM) combined with the Morse potential of metals to determine the effects of the elastic modulus (E) of a given example on atomic-level single-crystal copper (Cu).This work aims to overcome the estimated drawback of a molecular dynamic calculation appl
