ANALGESIE EN SALLE DE NAISSANCE
"Dans la douleur, tu enfanteras" a longtemps été le précepte religieux. Au fil des siècles, la société a évolué vers un accouchement sans douleur. La péridurale a permis d'améliorer son vécu en France avec un pourcentage de péridurale supérieur à 60%. Malgré la modernisation de prise en charge de la douleur, les patientes restent inquiètes devant la réalisation de la péridurale. L'information lors de la consultation d'anesthésie est capitale afin de mieux prép
Poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) porous scaffold for tissue engineering. Enlargement of a Pore.
The patients own cells are seeded onto the scaffold and allowed to attach and start producing new bone. The construct is implanted into the defect site, where eventually the polymer will biodegrade and be completely removed, leaving a natural autogenous bone graft. This technique is particularly useful for large defects, or where the host bed is compromised due to disease, although it is still at the research stage. Average Pore Size 350-550 micrometre, porosity estimated at 35-45%.
4.131B Architectural Design, Level II: Material and Tectonic Transformations: The Herreshoff Museum
This semester students are asked to transform the Hereshoff Museum in Bristol, Rhode Island, through processes of erasure and addition. Hereshoff Manufacturing was recognized as one of the premier builders of America's Cup racing boats between 1890's and 1930's. The studio, however, is about more than the program. It is about land, water, and wind and the search for expressing materially and tectonically the relationships between these principle conditions. That is, where the land is p
Ever Wonder Why Ice Floats on Water?
When water freezes, it expands and becomes less dense. This means that there is the same number of particles taking up more space. Since the ice cubes are less dense than the water, they float! As an ice cube melts, its volume changes, but its weight is conserved (law of conservation of mass). So, the melted water has exactly the same weight as the water it displaced as an ice cube the water level stays the same! (0:44)
