Based on detailed case studies of eight selected healthcare facilities developed at different times in India, this research traces the evolution of hospital designs in a specific geographic context through the lens of adoption of building environmental systems over the internal shell and external skins of healthcare buildings in India. By documenting and analyzing changes in building designs over time, the research develops a comparative understanding of trends of adoption of environmental technologies and their impacts on building form and performance

I hope you will understand the english translation, and I shall be happy if a modified writing with more anglicisms is proposed. REPORT OF ACTIVITY The first months of 2010 has been still marked by dissensions within the council about the project “Terminal Neige Palace”. It was difficult to manage an association whose members had decided not to act against this project, and have a majority in the council that, in a private capacity, act against this project. (...)

Inasmuch as the treatment of choice, whether conservative or surgery, and insofar as the therapeutic results may be determined by the extent of injury, it is important to have access to quantitative information on the functional properties of the involved ligaments at the time of the initial diagnostic studies. This can be obtained by measuring the strain on the anterior talofibular (tf) and calcaneofibular (cf) ligaments as a function of pressure applied to the distal tibia. Any device that ensures that the externally applied pressure is proportionally carried through to the ligaments can be used for this purpose. The results of 25 quantitative stress examinations using a Telos stress device are compared with arthrography findings and findings at surgery. Stress examination correlates well with both arthrographic and operative findings. The method is also useful for the evaluation of chronic ankle instability, follow-up examinations, and for the detection of vestiges of previous trauma of the contralateral ankle. The procedure is straightforward and noninvasive and can be performed within 15 minutes.

The functional quality of their an terior talofibular (TF) and calcaneofibular (CF) ligaments was tested by stress examination, using a commercially available stress device, and was compared with the results of stress examination, arthrography, and sur gery at the time of injury. Surgically treated patients showed a 70% to 100% recovery of the functional properties of the lateral ankle ligaments on comparison with the contralateral, unin jured ankle. Of the six patients treated conservatively With elastic bandages and rest, only one had regained normal function, whereas the others showed minimal or no improvement. Isolated lesions of the anterior TF ligaments, when treated conservatively, may have only a slightly better prognosis than a combined lesion of both anterior TF and CF ligaments in the athletic pop ulation.

Measuring talar tilt angles and anterior talar displacement over a range of pressures applied to the distal tibia using a commercially available stress device allows diagnostic distinction between isolated anterior talofibular ligament injury and a combined lesion that involves the calcaneofibular ligament. The results compare well with arthrographic and surgical findings.

The sooner treatment begins, the better the ultimate outcome for the patient. Generally the initial treatment is handled by paramedical personnel arriving at the site of the accident with an ambulance. There is evidence to show that if the expertise of the on-site paramedic team can be supported by immediate and continuous access to and communication with the expert medical team at the hospital, patient outcomes can be improved. After care also influences the ultimate recovery of the patient. After-treatment follow up often occurs in-hospital in spite of the fact that care at home can offer more advantages and can accelerate recovery. Based on emerging and future wireless communication technologies, in a previous paper [1] we presented an initial vision of two future healthcare settings, supported by applications which we call Virtual Trauma Team and Virtual Homecare Team.

In previous papers [1, 2] we presented a vision of two future healthcare applications which we call Virtual Trauma Team and Virtual Homecare Team. These are two instances of the wider concept of Virtual Health Care Teams. These applications are based on emerging and future wireless communication technologies. The technical research required to realise the vision of Virtual Health Care Teams (VHCTs) involves a number of areas including wireless transmission systems supporting broadband access, vehicle-based (fast roaming) networks (VANs), Body Area Networks (BANs), Personal Area Networks (PANs) and ambient intelligent environments, with ad hoc networking enabling communication between (roaming) professionals, clients and patients. In our vision of future delivery of healthcare by VHCTs we anticipate ubiquitous use of BANs by citizens in general an...

Of these four tests, the positive and negative hip flexion fesf (active flexion of the hip with extension of the knee) had the highest predictive value for the presence (9.5 per cenf) or the ub~ce of pelvis ~actures (90 per cent}, respecfiz)el~. The pred~cti~ ~ialues of the other three tests {d~~~~ward compression on the pubic bone, compression on the iliac rings, and distra~fion pressure on the iliac crests) were considerably lower.

Type of Study: Case series. Methods: Over a 5-year period, 201 consecutive patients presented with tibia] plateau fracture; 131 of these patients were treated with arthroscopically assisted osteosynthesis of the tibia] plateau. Inclusion in the retrospective analysis was limited to those patients older than 55 years at the time of injury and those who were available for follow-up at the time of the study. Thirty patients met these criteria. Results: Secondary displacement occurred in 9 patients (30%) within I2 weeks after surgery. After a median follow-up of 3 years, 24 of 30 patients (80%) had an excellent or good clinical result according to the modified Rasmussen criteria. There was no difference in clinical outcome between the patients with or without secondary displacement of the fracture. Conclusions: Given the good clinical results. arthroscopitally assisted osteosynthesis has been shown to be highly efficient in the treatment of tibia] plateau fractures in the elderly.
