    Notes: Abstract A knowledge of the parietal structures of the abdominal wall is necessary to minimize risks of operative procedures like laparoscopy. For means to prevent intraoperative bleeding and the occurrence of abdominal wall hematoma, we studied the course of the inferior epigastric arteries and the ascending branch of the deep circumflex iliac artery in 21 human cadavers. The abdominal wall structures were dissected and the distances of the arteries in relation to anatomic structures such as the umbilicus, pubic symphysis, superior ischial spine and lower edge of the rib-cage were measured. Comparison of the morphometric results obtained with the location of 36 trocar incision sites recommended in the common literature yields the information that about half of these incision sites incur the risk of injuring the arteries.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the retropatellar pressure, force, and contact area in cases of knee arthroplasty compared to knees without arthroplasty. We examined six leg specimens before and after knee arthroplasty. The modified Thiel fixation was used, and arthroplasty was the Genesis I without patellar implant (Fa. Smith & Nephew, Schenefeld). Contact measurements were performed with pressure-sensitive film (Fuji Prescale type “super low”) in 45°, 60°, 90°, and 120° knee flexion. The results were evaluated with special software, “Pressure Imaging and Analyzing System FPD-901 Series”. The leg was exarticulated in the hip joint and the knee joint was opened from a suprapatellar approach. The film was placed at a defined area between the facies patellaris of the femur and facies articularis of the patella. Instantaneous pressure was measured during a time of 5-s pressure increase and a further 5 s. A force of 280 N was applied to the quadriceps muscle. Before knee arthroplasty, the contact area measured 154.3 mm2, the average pressure was 1.14 MPa, the force 182.13 N. After knee arthroplasty, the contact area was 119.94 mm2, the average pressure 1.522 MPa, the force 180.98 N. Following knee arthroplasty the contact area decreased significantly (P=0.015), and the average (P=0.0001) and maximum pressure (P=0.0003) increased significantly. The force did not change significantly (P=0.7642). The choice of the knee arthroplasty implant and approach to the knee joint should be considered in order to achieve an increased retropatellar contact area thus preventing smaller contact areas than before knee arthroplasty. The increased contact area could also prevent increasing retropatellar pressures after knee arthroplasty and further complications.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Ziel der Studie ist die Erfassung von Änderungen des retropatellaren Druckes, der Kraft und den Kontaktflächen durch die Implantation einer Oberflächenkniegelenkprothese. Es wurden 6 Leichen vor und nach Implantation einer Kniegelenkprothese untersucht, die mit der modifizierten Thiel-Fixierung fixiert wurden. Bei dem Implantat handelt es sich um die Prothese Genesis I ohne Patellarückflächenersatz (Fa. Smith & Nephew, Schenefeld). Es wurden Druck- und Flächenmessungen mittels Fuji-Druckmessfolie (Fa. Tiedemann & Betz) vom Typ “super low pressure” vorgenommen. Die Auswertung erfolgte mit der speziellen Software “Pressure Imaging and Analyzing System FPD-901 Series”. Zur Untersuchung wurde das Bein im Hüftgelenk exartikuliert. Über den suprapatellaren Zugang wurde das Kniegelenk eröffnet und die Folie zwischen der Facies patellaris des Femurs und der Facies articularis der Patella an definierter Stelle platziert. Es wurde der momentane Druck gemessen, indem Druck für 5 s ausgelöst und für weitere 5 s aufrechterhalten wurde. Die Untersuchungen erfolgten in 45°, 60°, 90° und 120°. Dabei wurde eine Kraft von 280 N am M. quadriceps ausgeübt. Die Untersuchungen erfolgten an den Kniegelenken vor und nach Prothesenimplantation. Vor Implantation der Knieprothese betrug die Kontaktfläche 154,3 mm3, der mittlere Druck 1,14 MPa, die Kraft 182,13 N. Die Kontaktfläche betrug nach Prothesenimplantation 119,94 mm3, der durchschnittliche Druck 1,522 MPa, die Kraft 180, 98 N. Durch die Prothesenimplantation kam es zu einer signifikanten Verkleinerung der Auflagefläche (p=0,015) und einer signifikanten Erhöhung des durchschnittlichen (p=0,0001) und maximalen (p=0,0003) Druckes. Die Kraft veränderte sich durch die Prothesenimplantation nicht signifikant (p=0,7642). Die Wahl der Implantate und des Zugangweges sollte im Hinblick auf eine Vergrößerung der Kontaktfläche erfolgen, da diese durch die Prothesenimplantation signifikant kleiner wird. Damit kann die auftretende Druckerhöhung auch besser verteilt werden und daraus resultierende Komplikationen reduziert werden.

    Notes: Abstract It can be shown that the sequence of spontaneous movements in the active sleep of healthy neonates can be described as a Poisson process. This statistical model is the basis of the modelling of movement-related heart-rate reactions (MRHR) as a secondary process. Modelling these processes gives essential information about possible diagnostic parameters such as the mean frequency of classified movements in active sleep (AS), and characteristics of the course of MRHR. Optimisation of the reliability of interpreting power spectral parameters, analysis of longterm rhythms and designation of the physiological trends of neonatal heart rates can be attained if the results of time series analysis are compared with fitted simulations. Modifications and new techniques of data acquisition and processing are created by means of the computer model.

    Notes: Abstract On the basis of discrete Hilbert transform (DHT) realised by fast Fourier transform (FFT), a new strategy for automatic spike mapping is introduced. The further computation of the EEG time series after DHT results in the time series of the momentary power and the momentary frequency. Both are used for the solution of the main requirements of automatic spike mapping. The spike-mapping concept introduced meets the requirements of efficient automatic spike detection and also has an insensitivity with regard to EMG interference and transient signal components, a frequent cause of false positive detections. Additionally, there are advantages if the momentary power of the spike is mapped instead of the spike potential. the use of momentary power makes a combination of power spectral mapping and spikemapping strategies possible.
