Determination of the Human Spine Curve Based on Laser Triangulation Primož Poredoš1*,Dušan Čelan2, Janez Možina1 and Matija Jezeršek1
Poredoš et al. BMC Medical Imaging (2015) 15:2 DOI 10.1186/s12880-015-0044-5 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Determination of the human spine curve based on laser triangulation Primož Poredoš1*,Dušan Čelan2, Janez Možina1 and Matija Jezeršek1 Abstract Background: The main objective of the present method was to automatically obtain a spatial curve of the thoracic and lumbar spine based on a 3D shape measurement of a human torso with developed scoliosis. Manual determination of the spine curve, which was based on palpation of the thoracic and lumbar spinous processes, was found to be an appropriate way to validate the method. Therefore a new, noninvasive, optical 3D method for human torso evaluation in medical practice is introduced. Methods: Twenty-four patients with confirmed clinical diagnosis of scoliosis were scanned using a specially developed 3D laser profilometer. The measuring principle of the system is based on laser triangulation with one- laser-plane illumination. The measurement took approximately 10 seconds at 700 mm of the longitudinal translation along the back. The single point measurement accuracy was 0.1 mm. Computer analysis of the measured surface returned two 3D curves. The first curve was determined by manual marking (manual curve), and the second was determined by detecting surface curvature extremes (automatic curve). The manual and automatic curve comparison was given as the root mean square deviation (RMSD) for each patient. The intra-operator study involved assessing 20 successive measurements of the same person, and the inter-operator study involved assessing measurements from 8 operators. Results: The results obtained for the 24 patients showed that the typical RMSD between the manual and automatic curve was 5.0 mm in the frontal plane and 1.0 mm in the sagittal plane, which is a good result compared with palpatory accuracy (9.8 mm). -

Brazilian Undersea Features: a Gazetteer of Geographical Names
SBGF278 Brazilian undersea features: A Gazetteer of geographical names Koji Jinno and Jairo Marcondes de Souza PETROBRAS/E&P, Brazil Abstract “You f(ool) yourself quite, when you don’t communicate rite”. It is problematic when everybody does not speak the same language. As a matter of fact, a word does not have the same meaning for different people or distinct names can be assigned to a particular thing. A recent survey shows different names for some submarine features of the Brazilian continental margin and thus the need to establish a Gazetteer of Brazilian undersea feature names. INTRODUCTION “Quem não se comunica se trumbica” – “You f(ool) yourself quite, when you don’t communicate rite ”, used to say the late Brazilian TV entertainer “Chacrinha”. For a good communication, however, everybody has to speak or understand the same language. But the meaning of a word varies with people and circumstances. Likewise, different names can be assigned to the same fact, object, situation, anything whatsoever. Wrong or inadequate names can cause huge troubles. Some years ago, a drilling location offshore Brazil was designated, according to the rules of the company, with the name of the state it was assumed the territorial waters belonged to. The authorities of the neighbour state argued that the limits of the waters were actually wrong and the well had to be named after their state so that the royalties would be theirs; the location had two names, depending on the officers of each state. The company had to give neutral names to future locations. UNDERSEA FEATURE NAMES The mention of Sao Paulo Plateau can bring two thoughts to the participants in an international oceanography meeting: - Is it the name of the feature in southern Brazilian continental margin known world over and listed as Santos Plateau in the Gazetteer (IHO/IOC, 1997)? (Brazilian geologists are unfamiliar with the latest); - Is it a feature not yet described near the Saint Paul Fracture Zone? (Known in Brazil as São Paulo Fracture Zone). -

Beek a a Faculty of Human Movement Sciences, Vrije Universiteit, Van der Boechorststraat 9, 1081 BT Amsterdam, The Netherlands b Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Medical Center Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam, The Netherlands c Department of Physiotherapy, Royal Brisbane Hospital and The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia Received 3 February 2003; accepted 17 October 2003 Abstract Objective. To examine the effects of experimentally induced pain and fear of pain on trunk coordination and erector spinae EMG activity during gait. Design. In 12 healthy subjects, hypertonic saline (acute pain) and isotonic saline (fear of pain) were injected into erector spinae muscle, and unpredictable electric shocks (fear of impending pain) were presented during treadmill walking at different velocities, while trunk kinematics and EMG were recorded. Background. Chronic low back pain patients often have disturbed trunk coordination and enhanced erector spinae EMG while walking, which may either be due to the pain itself or to fear of pain, as is suggested by studies on both low back pain patients and healthy subjects. Methods. The effects of the aforementioned pain-related manipulations on trunk coordination and EMG were examined. Results. Trunk kinematics was not affected by the manipulations. Induced pain led to an increase in EMG variability and induced fear of pain to a decrease in mean EMG amplitude during double stance. -

Getúlio Vargas E O Caudilhismo Getulio Vargas
Fronteiras: Revista de História Getúlio Vargas e o Caudilhismo – Rafael Augustus Sêga GETÚLIO VARGAS E O CAUDILHISMO GETULIO VARGAS AND CAUDILISM Rafael Augustus Sêga1 RESUMO: O objetivo principal do presente artigo é mostrar motivos pelos quais as possíveis origens “platinas” ou influências “caudilhescas” de Getúlio Dornelles Vargas não se sustentam como determinantes na sua formação política. Para tanto, iniciamos o artigo com uma discussão conceitual sobre “caudilhismo” nas Ciências Sociais; passamos ao tratamento do assunto por correntes historiográficas brasileiras e, principalmente, pela discussão acadêmica sobre a ocorrência ou não desse fenômeno político em solo nacional. Os procedimentos posteriores percorreram uma breve exposição sobre a formação da região de nascimento de Getúlio Vargas, suas origens familiares e uma resumida trajetória pessoal. A partir dessa explanação, passamos à uma análise de fontes primárias (discursos oficiais) emitidas por Getúlio Vargas sobre esse assunto, com intuito de verificar a importância do assunto do caudilhismo em sua atuação pública. Palavras-Chave: Brasil Império; Caudilhismo; Coronelismo; Castilhismo-borgismo; História do Rio Grande do Sul; Getúlio Vargas; Partido Republicano Rio-Grandense. ABSTRACT: The main objective of this article is to show why the possible “Platine” origins or “caudillo” (warlord) influences of Getulio Dornelles Vargas are not hold as determining factors in his political formation. Therefore, we started the article with a conceptual discussion about “caudillism” in the Social Sciences, after that, we passed to the treatment of the subject by the Brazilian historiographical currents and, mainly, by academic discussion about the presence or absence of this political phenomenon in Brazil. The subsequent procedures passed by a brief exhibit of Getulio Vargas’s birth region formation, his family origins and a short personal history. -

According to the World Health Homicide clearly represents the most devastating form Organization’s International Classification of of interpersonal violence, certainly in terms of the cost of Diseases (ICD, Revision 10), homicides are the loss of a life to individuals, families and communities. deaths that result from an assault inflicted The public health impacts of homicide are far reaching, by another person, who had the intent to including the societal costs of the loss of economic and injure or kill. Homicides do not include reproductive potential of individuals, often murdered in deaths that result from the enforcement of their most productive stage of life [1]. Violence also law (i.e. killed by agents of the police or increases the cost of services related to health and military) or that are caused by war or civil insurrection. security, affects property values, destabilizes community and economic development, disrupts human services Deaths caused by assault are also and undermines governance [2]. As well, violence— distinguished from other so-called ‘external especially homicide—increases psychological distress causes’ of death, including intentional self- and anxiety, social tensions, and often sparks further harm (suicides) or accidents, though often violence and deviant social behaviour [1]. these causes are grouped together as ‘violent deaths’, particularly in analyses of Brazil has one of the world’s highest rates of overall the effects of socio-economic change on homicide [3] and youth homicide [4]. -
