The worldwide rise in popularity of climbing and development of climbing as a competitive sport is reflected by its debut at the 2021 Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo. Digital primary periphyseal stress injuries in adolescent climbers may pose a significant risk to long-term skeletal health. The aim of this article is to critically review research on the diagnosis and management of primary periphyseal stress injuries of the fingers in adolescent climbers. We adopted a systematic approach to searching for relevant literature. Articles were identified after searches of the following electronic databases: Discover, Academic Search Complete, PubMed, Embase, SPORTDiscus, and ScienceDirect. Conclusive evidence suggests digital primary periphyseal stress injuries are a consequence of repetitive microtrauma. Pain reported by adolescent climbers on the dorsal aspect of the proximal interphalangeal joint should be investigated promptly to avoid serious negative consequences. Clinicians should be aware of the efficacy of imaging techniques to inform a clinical diagnosis. A conservative management approach is preferred but in rare cases surgical intervention may be necessary. A diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm for digital primary periphyseal stress injuries is presented.
Abstruct -This paper discusses the processes carried out in transforming scanned schematics to the textual files of a few CAD packages. After separation of text from graphics mask convolution is Implemented for noise reduction and thinning. Chain Vectors are used to establish the possible occurrence of components whilst tracking. Parameters calculated from the Chain vector method and integrated with an adaptive Hough Transform (HT) scheme verifies and identifies the various components. An adaptation of the HT makes use of point prediction to identify disjointed collinear points -a fundamental flaw in the basic H T method.The window area surrounding the component Is partitioned into five bands and any line detected within a band is assigned a 'line value'. The culmination of tracking and component identification is a relational Directed Graph information collated by a dynamic data structure and subsequently analysed to produce a textual file acceptable to the CAD package.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
