Abstract

A model of a limb part represented as a multilayer cylindrical conduction section is considered. The impedance is measured by means of four electrodes, and the exact and approximate expressions for the impedance are derived. With the expressions, one can calculate the value of the pulse blood flow. Various factors affecting the measurement accuracy such as skin conditions, local depths of major vessels, and relative electrode positions are analyzed. Recommendations for the choice of the electrode spacing are given to calculate the pulse and specific blood flow depending upon dimensions of the body part under study, the accuracy being not less than the preset value.

[Primary care of fractures of the extremities].

The initial care of a fractured bone provided by the general physician includes reduction followed by immobilization and the treatment of pain. Open fractures must be covered by a sterile dressing, prior to the transportation of the patient to a hospital. Depending upon the severity of the injury, further treatment is provided by an orthopedic surgeon or in an appropriate hospital.

[Fractures of the extremities--surgical or conservative treatment?].

When a fracture of an extremity has been established, the question immediately arises: should it be treated conservatively or surgically? For each of these options the three "R's" of fracture treatment apply "reduction, retention, rehabilitation". In humans, the most common fracture is that of the distal radius, which is usually amenable to conservative treatment. A fracture of the ankle is treated conservatively only when it is stable with no syndesmotic injury, and the fragments are in good alignment. Should surgical treatment be necessary, stabilization is accomplished with a plate and screws. The advantages and disadvantages of each of the options must be weighed up on an individual basis.
