“…The carbon-fiber laminated prosthetic foot has been shown to retain elastic energy in recent studies [8]. This not only aids in forward motion, but also reduces the impact felt by the remaining limbs [9]. The prosthetic foot's mobility is improved by this design element, making it more like a real foot in terms of its performance.…”

In this research Carbon-Fiber with AL2O3 Nanoparticles Composite Structure of the Prosthesis foot has been examined and analysed numerically explain the fatigue behaviour of the prosthesis. Nanoparticles made of AL2O3 were incorporated into the production process of the composite structure of the prosthesis foot in the appropriate manner. The life forecast, the damage indicator, and the Biaxiliray indexation were the three primary considerations that went into the process of studying the composite construction of the prosthesis foot. The life prediction was the most important factor. Experiments on the phenomena of fatigue have been carried out with the stress being entirely reversed as the variable in order to ensure that the findings are in keeping with the theory that was proposed by GoodMan. In order to develop an estimate for these characteristics, the dynamic load that was applied, which was 1000 N, was utilised. It used the dynamic load that was applied in order to produce an estimate for these characteristics so that we could better understand them. The results of the computational research showed that the life prediction could be increased to 106 cycles by applying a primary force of 1000 N. This was shown by the findings of the studyThis was demonstrated by the findings. While the same load application was being carried out, the Biaxiliray indexation attained a value of 0.99. In addition to the research that was done on the damage indicator, the numerical findings demonstrated that the damage can be seen after the initial 1000 cycles of stress have been applied. This was demonstrated both by the research that was done on the damage indicator as well as by the numerical findings

One-Year Sequelae and Quality of Life in Adults with Meningococcal Meningitis: Lessons from the COMBAT Multicentre Prospective Study

et al. 2022

Introduction COMBAT is a prospective, multicentre cohort study that enrolled consecutive adults with community-acquired bacterial meningitis (CABM) in 69 participating centres in France between February 2013 and July 2015 and followed them for 1 year. Methods Patients aged at least 18 years old, hospitalised with CABM were followed during their hospitalisation and then contacted by phone 12 months after enrolment. Here we present the prevalence of sequelae at 12 months in a subgroup of patients with meningococcal meningitis. Results Five of the 111 patients with meningococcal meningitis died during initial hospitalisation and two died between discharge and 12 months, leaving 104 patients alive 1 year after enrolment, 71 of whom provided 12-month follow-up data. The median age was 30.0 years and 54.1% of the patients had no identified risk factor for meningitis. More than 30% reported persistent headache, more than 40% were not satisfied with their sleep and 10% had concentration difficulties. Hearing loss was present in about 15% of the patients and more than 30% had depressive symptoms. About 13% of the patients with a previous professional activity had not resumed work. On the SF-12 Health Survey, almost 50% and 30% had physical component or mental component scores lower than the 25th percentile of the score distribution in the French general population. There was a non-significant improvement in the patients’ disability scores from hospital discharge to 12 months ( p = 0.16), but about 10% of the patients had residual disability. Conclusions Although most patients in our cohort survive meningococcal meningitis, the long-term burden is substantial and therefore it is important to ensure a prolonged follow-up of survivors and to promote preventive strategies, including vaccination.
