Zusammenfassung
Ein 68-jähriger Patient stellte sich mit gering ausgeprägten suprasymphysären Schmerzen, Makrohämaturie und Dysurie vor. In unserem Fall fehlten initial die typischen Leitsymptome ...einer sigmavesikalen Fistel. Aufgrund der Makrohämaturie und des Zystoskopiebefundes galt als Arbeitsdiagnose ein Blasentumor.
Wegweisend war die kontrastmittelgestützte Computertomographie mit rektaler Kontrastmittelapplikation. Neben einer Sigmadivertikulitis („fat stranding“/“centipede sign“) konnte in der urographischen Phase ein Kontrastmittelübertritt vom Harnblasenlumen in den Harnblasenwandabszess und von hier in das Sigma detektiert werden.
"The contribution even a small mine like Wiluna can make is a signal that Australia has an opportunity to not only maintain uranium production but to grow it and when you put that into the world of ...global climate change concerns I think that's the really exciting part about addressing world energy needs that Wiluna provides."

In this study, we develop a multi-legged robot that is designed to operate on rubble. Generally, conventional multi-legged robots have many actuators for driving the legs and body. Hence, control of ...these robots is more complicated than that of crawler robots such as tank robots, and it is very difficult to operate multi-legged robots adaptively in a complex environment such as that containing rubble. To solve this problem, we have designed a mechanism for a multi-legged robot that reduces the controller load by using a passive mechanism. To design the robot, we focused on a centipede. First, we observed the behavior of a centipede by using a high-speed camera, and then, to realize this behavior by a simple mechanism, we proposed a multi-legged robot that was built by connecting many links serially through rubber joints. In this mechanism, every joint has a leg on each side, and the legs move regularly like a centipede. The elasticity of the rubber joints compensates for the bumps on the ground. To control the moving direction, wires are installed through the links, and by pulling the wires, the front of body of the robot can be lifted up or turned. By simply pulling the wires, we can control the moving direction of the robot; therefore, we do not have to control many joints individually to overcome bumps. The joints can move passively to adapt to bumps. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed mechanism, we developed an actual-scale prototype robot and conducted experiments. The results showed that the robot can move on rubble to desired positions.

Les morsures par scolopendres survenant dans les régions tropicales sont rares. La prévention passe par une prudence accrue lors d’activités en plein air et par la vérification des habitations en cas ...de pluie. La morsure est très douloureuse et peut s’accompagner de signes généraux. Une désinfection initiale, une vérification de la vaccination antitétanique permettent généralement une évolution favorable. Dans le cas contraire une toxicité locale et une surinfection bactérienne, souvent à cocci Gram+, peut aboutir à une dermohypodermite d’évolution nécrosante ou un phlegmon de la main. Le diagnostic repose sur une éventuelle morsure de scolopendre reconnu par les deux empreintes des crocs. La mise à plat et l’antibiothérapie ont permis dans nos deux cas une évolution favorable.
Centipede bites occurring in tropical countries are rare, however vigilance must be exercised during activities in the open air and dwellings should be checked in the event of rain. The bite is very painful and can be accompanied by generalised signs. An initial wound disinfection and a check of antitetanus vaccination status is all that is usually needed to ensure an uneventful outcome. There are however, rare cases where local toxicity and a bacterial super-infection, often with Gram+ cocci, can lead to a cellulitis or even necrotizing fasciitis of the hand. The diagnosis of a centipede bite can be made by the double marks made by the fangs. Wound debridement and antibiotics led to a good outcome in both our cases.
