Resumen
Los avances en las prótesis de extremidades superiores, incluidos los dispositivos accionados externamente e híbridos, tienen como objetivo restaurar la función después de la pérdida de extremidades. Las nuevas técnicas quirúrgicas como la reinervación muscular dirigida ofrecen un mejor control y sensación para los amputados.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Ortopedia
- Ingeniería Biomédica
- Medicina de Rehabilitación
Sus antecedentes:
- Los registros históricos muestran una innovación continua en el cuidado de las amputaciones y las prótesis.
- Las Guerras Mundiales aceleraron la necesidad de soluciones avanzadas para la pérdida de extremidades.
- Las prótesis de extremidades superiores enfrentan una mayor complejidad que los dispositivos de extremidades inferiores debido a las demandas funcionales.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Revisar la evolución histórica de las prótesis de extremidades superiores.
- Discutir los avances tecnológicos actuales en dispositivos protésicos.
- Explorar las innovaciones quirúrgicas que abordan los desafíos de los amputados.
Principales métodos:
- Revisión de la literatura histórica sobre el desarrollo de amputaciones y prótesis.
- Análisis de las tendencias tecnológicas en prótesis de extremidades superiores.
- Examen de técnicas quirúrgicas como la reinervación muscular dirigida y las interfaces de nervios periféricos regenerativos.
Principales resultados:
- La tecnología protésica ha evolucionado de dispositivos pasivos a accionados externamente e híbridos.
- A pesar de los avances, los amputados todavía enfrentan desafíos como el dolor y la sensación de miembro fantasma.
- Las nuevas intervenciones quirúrgicas muestran la promesa de mejorar el control y la sensación protésica.
Conclusiones:
- El campo de las prótesis de extremidades superiores está avanzando rápidamente.
- La reinervación muscular dirigida y las interfaces de nervios periféricos regenerativos ofrecen soluciones novedosas.
- Un enfoque individualizado de la atención es crucial para optimizar los resultados en amputados de extremidades superiores.

02:35RACE - Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends
7.3K
Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends, or RACE, is one of the most effective methods to obtain a full-length cDNA from an mRNA sequence between a known internal region to the unknown sequence at the 5’ or 3’ end. The unknown region is cloned in the cDNA by a gene-specific primer that binds the known end, and a hybrid primer that attaches a predefined anchor sequence to the unknown end of the cDNA. The sequence in between is amplified by PCR with an anchor primer and a gene-specific...

01:31Muscles that Move the Arm
4.8K
Nine muscles are involved in arm movements. Two of these, the pectoralis major and latissimus dorsi, originate from the axial skeleton and are called axial muscles. The other seven originate from the scapula and are called the scapular muscles.
The pectoralis major has two origins. Its clavicular head originates on the medial half of the clavicle. In contrast, the sternocostal head originates on the costal cartilages of ribs 1-6, the sternum, and the aponeurosis of the external oblique of the...

01:22Absolute and Local Extreme Values
79
The highest and lowest values of a function, relative to a reference axis, are known as extreme values. These include absolute maximum and absolute minimum values, which represent the highest and lowest points the function reaches across its entire domain. Within a restricted portion of the function, the highest and lowest values are referred to as local maximum and local minimum values, respectively.Periodic functions, such as sine and cosine, show extreme values at infinitely many points due...

01:12Arteries of the Upper Limbs
2.4K
The subclavian artery transitions into the axillary artery as it exits the chest and enters the axillary region. This artery is critical for supplying blood to the shoulder area, including the head of the humerus, through the humeral circumflex arteries. As the vessel continues into the upper arm or brachium, it becomes the brachial artery. This artery plays a key role in vascularizing the brachial region and bifurcates at the elbow into several branches. These branches include the deep...

01:17Veins of Upper Limbs
4.3K
The human circulatory system, a marvel of biological engineering, is a complex network of vessels that transport blood throughout the body. Among these, the veins responsible for carrying blood from the upper limbs are divided into two categories: deep and superficial.
The deep venous system is primarily composed of the ulnar and radial veins. The ulnar vein, which drains the fingers through the superficial palmar venous arches, and the radial vein, which serves the palms via the deep palmar...
