Treating patients with vertebral fractures... First, the patient is given a local anesthetic. Then using a technique called percutaneous vertebroplasty, a needle is inserted into the spine at the area of the fracture. Doctors use imaging techniques, such as CT scanning and fluoroscopy, to guide placement of the needle during the procedure. Under continued radiographic guidance, the methyl methacrylate is slowly injected into the vertebral space. Then, the needle is withdrawn. Shortly after injection, the epoxy hardens within the spine. 3, record 7, English, - percutaneous%20vertebroplasty

Kyphoplasty is a newer treatment for patients immobilized by the painful vertebral body compression fractures associated with osteoporosis. Like vertebroplasty, kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that can alleviate up to 90% of the pain caused by compression fractures. In addition to relieving pain, kyphoplasty can also stabilize the fracture, restore height, and reduce deformity. ... Kyphoplasty is performed under local or general anesthesia. Using image guidance x-rays, two small incisions are made and a probe is placed into the vertebral space where the fracture is located. The bone is drilled and a balloon, called a bone tamp, is inserted on each side. These balloons are then inflated with contrast medium (to be seen using image guidance x-rays) until they expand to the desired height and removed. The balloon does not remain in the patient. It simply creates a cavity for the cement and also helps expand the compressed bone. The spaces created by the balloons are then filled with PMMA [poly(methyl methacrylate)], the same orthopaedic cement used in vertebroplasty, binding the fracture. The cement hardens quickly, providing strength and stability to the vertebra, restoring height, and relieving pain. 1, record 8, English, - kyphoplasty

À la différence de la vertébroplastie, la cyphoplastie est caractérisée par l'utilisation de ballonnets avant l'injection de ciment. Les ballonnets sont insérés dégonflés dans la vertèbre à traiter. Les ballonnets sont ensuite gonflés avec un produit de contraste radio-opaque. Les ballonnets repoussent l'os spongieux fracturé sur les bords de la vertèbre tassée et créent ainsi une cavité au sein du corps vertébral. Un manomètre digital permet au radiologue de contrôler la pression interne des ballonnets. Lorsque la pression maximale est atteinte, une phase de maintien de la pression permet de créer la cavité, puis les ballonnets sont dégonflés et retirés. Un ciment acrylique visqueux PMMA [poly(méthacrylate de méthyle) ] est alors injecté à basse pression dans la cavité. 1, record 8, French, - cyphoplastie

Géré par des capteurs, le «capot actif» développé par Magna Electronics Europe vise à accroître la sécurité des piétons. À l'intérieur d’un ruban détecteur de 1, 10 à 1, 40 m, en élastomère thermoplastique Hytrel de DuPont et installé entre le pare-choc avant et le radiateur, se trouve une mousse polyuréthane(PU) souple dans laquelle est encapsulée une fibre optique en polyméthyleméthacrylate(PMMA). Une diode LED synchronisée avec un récepteur situé à l'autre extrémité du ruban détecteur envoie des impulsions lumineuses à la fibre optique. Le récepteur enregistre l'intensité de la lumière qui lui parvient et la compare en permanence à la lumière émise. En cas de choc sur le détecteur, la perte d’intensité lumineuse dans la fibre optique est détectée. Le détecteur en déduit la force du choc et, selon sa variation dans le temps, détermine la nature de l'obstacle heurté. Si le calculateur conclut que cet obstacle est une personne, il déclenche des actionneurs pyrotechniques qui, en 40 ms, soulève le capot de quelques centimètres. Cette procédure augmente la distance entre le piéton et les composants rigides du moteur et modifie l'angle pour que la tête du piéton ne vienne pas heurter le pare-brise. 2, record 9, French, - capot%20actif

[Ring laser gyro] By placing mirrors at each end of a triangular cavity (two of the mirrors possess 100% reflectivity while the third allows partial transmission of 0.2% for signal detection), the photons traveling parallel to the cavity will be reflected back and forth many times. The mirrors are usually of the hardcoated multi-layer-dielectric type (MLD), and they become the end of a resonant cavity, producing a positive feedback necessary to sustain oscillation. 1, record 13, English, - hardcoated%20multi%2Dlayer%2Ddielectric%20mirror
