As a general term, traction means pulling on part of the body.
Most often, traction uses mechanical force (sometimes generated by weights and pulleys) to put tension on a displaced bone or joint, such as a dislocated shoulder, to put it back in position and keep it still. In the medical field, traction refers to the practice of slowly and gently pulling on a fractured or dislocated body part. It’s often done using ropes, pulleys, and weights. These tools help apply force to the tissues surrounding the damaged area.
The presentation is for the use of Physiotherapy students. It covers a brief introduction, classification, clinical features and general principles of management.

Generating a custom Ruby SDK for your web service or Rails API using Smithyg2nightmarescribd
Have you ever wanted a Ruby client API to communicate with your web service? Smithy is a protocol-agnostic language for defining services and SDKs. Smithy Ruby is an implementation of Smithy that generates a Ruby SDK using a Smithy model. In this talk, we will explore Smithy and Smithy Ruby to learn how to generate custom feature-rich SDKs that can communicate with any web service, such as a Rails JSON API.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
2. INTRODUCTION
A dermatome is a surgical instrument used to produce thin slices
of skin from a donor area, in order to use them for making skin grafts. One of
its main applications is for reconstituting skin areas damaged by grade
3 burns or trauma.
Dermatomes can be operated either manually or electrically. The first
drum dermatomes, developed in the 1930s, were manually operated.
Afterwards, dermatomes which were operated by air pressure, such as the
Brown dermatome, achieved higher speed and precision. Electrical
dermatomes are better for cutting out thinner and longer strips of skin with a
more homogeneous thickness.
3. Dermatomes Anatomy
The surface of the skin is divided into specific areas called
dermatomes, which are derived from the cells of a SOMITE. These
cells differentiate into the following 3 regions: (1) MYOTOME, which
forms some of the skeletal muscle; (2) dermatome, which forms the
connective tissues, including the dermis; and (3) SCLEROTOME,
which gives rise to the vertebrae. A dermatome is an area of skin in
which sensory nerves derive from a single spinal nerve root (see the
following image).
5. Clinically important dermatomes
Upper extremity
•C6 - Thumb
•C7 - Middle finger
•C8 - Little finger
•T1 - Inner forearm
•T2 - Upper inner arm
Lower extremity
•L3 - Knee
•L4 - Medial MALLEOLUS
•L5 - Dorsum of foot
•L5 - Toes 1-3
•S1 - Toes 4 and 5; lateral MALLEOLUS
Other
•C2 and C3 - Posterior head and neck
•T4 - Nipple
•T10 - Umbilicus
6. DERMATOME INSTRUMENTS
Free-hand knives
Those are manual dermatomes and the
term knife or scalpel is used to describe them. Their disadvantages
are harvesting of grafts with irregular edges and grafts of variable
thickness. Their operator has to be experienced in their use for
optimal results.
7. Types of dermatomes
There are several types of dermatomes, usually named after their
inventor
Knives
Drum
Electric
Air
8. Knives:
•Blair/Brown knife.
•HUMBY knife, similar to the Blair knife with the addition of an adjustable roller
which controls the thickness of the graft taken.
•Braithwaite knife.
•Watson knife, another modified version of the Braithwaite knife.
•Cobbett knife, a modified version of the Braithwaite knife.
•GOULIAN/WECK knife.
•Silver knife, ideal for the harvesting of small grafts.
9. Drum:
•Padgett dermatome, was the first rotary drum manual dermatome
to be devised.
•Reese dermatome, accompanying set of shims- permit careful
calibration of thickness.

10.
11. Electric:
•Brown SDERMATOME, the first with powered rotation to be developed,
used mostly for large skin grafts. It is electrically operated.
•Castroviejo dermatome, also electrically operated, is a precision
dermatome with a small head and controllable thickness,
which is most used for mucous membrane grafts.
Motor move – small cutting head with blade that control the thickness of
the cut.
Cutting blade on the small power dermatome tends to loss their
sharpness rapidly.
12.
13. Air:
•Air dermatome, the most commonly used dermatome used worldwide today,
used mostly for large skin grafts.
15. Zimmer Air Dermatome:
The Zimmer Air Dermatome was the first air powered
dermatome designed by Zimmer. The small diameter handle and
lightweight design has become a trusted device in hundreds of
operating rooms around the world. This device requires
annual preventative maintenance.
16.
17. Advantage
• Ideal for the harvesting of small grafts
• Exceptional maneuverability with less hand fatigue
•Graft thicknesses up to .030 inch (0.76mm) in easily adjustable .002
inch (0.05mm) increments
•Safety lever to help prevent accidental activation
•Width plates range from one to four inches (2.5 to 10cm) in one inch
increments
•Blades are supplied sterile and don’t require lubrication
5,000 – 6,000 cycles/minute high speed cutting action
•Includes nitrogen hose that exhausts 10 ft. away from surgical site
18. Disadvantage
• If the graft is too thick or thins, it is difficult to change the calibration
in the middle of a skin graft removal
• once the procedure is over remove the disposable blade to avoid
injury to the operator
• Graft I removed by gentle rubbing with a sponge gauze soaked in
normal saline solution
• cutting blade on the small power dermatome tend to loss their
sharpness rapidly
Freehand with a knife:
• Graft with irregular edges and varying thickness

areas damaged by grade 3 burns or trauma.
