Dissolvable Metal Supports - Simplifying Metals Printing
No full textabstract: Additive Manufacturing and 3D printing are becoming important technologies in the manufacturing sector. The benefits of this technology include complex part geometry, short lead-times, low waste, and simple user interface. However, the technology does not come without its drawbacks: mainly the removal of support structures from the component. Traditional techniques that involve sawing and cutting can be expensive and take a long time, increasing the overall price of 3D printed metal components. This paper discusses two approaches taken for dissolvable support structures in 3D printed stainless steel (17-4 PH). For the first time in powder bed fusion components, with the help of Christopher Lefky and Dr. Owen Hildreth, dissolvable support capabilities are achieved in metal prints. The first approach, direct dissolution, involves direct corrosion of the entire part, leading to support removal. This approach is not self-terminating, and leads to changes in final component geometry. The second approach involves a post-build sensitization step, which physically alters the microstructure and chemical stability of the first 100-200 microns of the metal. The component is then etched at an electric potential that will readily corrode this sensitized surface, but not the underlying base metal. An electrolytic solution of HNO3/KCl/HCl paired with an anodic bias was used for the direct dissolution approach, resulting in a loss of about 120 microns of material from the components surface. For the self-limiting approach, surface sensitization was achieve through a post build annealing step (800 C for 6 hours, air cooled) with exposure to a sodium hexacynoferrate slurry. When the slurry decomposes in the furnace, carbon atoms diffuse into the surface and precipitate a chromium-carbide, which reduces the chemical stability of the stainless steel. Etching is demonstrated in an anodic bias of HNO3/KCl. To determine proper etching potentials, open circuit potential and cyclic voltammetry experiments were run to create Potentiodynamic Polarization Curves. Further testing of the self-terminating approach was performed on a 316 stainless steel interlocking ring structure with a complex geometry. In this case, 32.5 hours of etching at anodic potentials replaced days of mechanical sawing and cutting

Author: Laura Hildreth
Background: Stroke is the second leading cause of death and third leading cause of disability worldwide. Disability from stroke is especially found in low-resource settings where access to rehabilitation therapy services is limited. This paper presents the development of the Stroke Stride Rehab Program which is an evidence-based program aimed to improve stroke rehabilitation outcomes in rural and remote communities, specifically in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic.
Methods: The development of Stroke Stride Rehab included a detailed and comprehensive needs assessment including a literature review and stakeholder consultations to identify key gaps and challenges in stroke rehabilitation. Using evidence-based practices, technology access, and input from key stakeholders, the program was created to educate OTs, PTs, and other allied health care professionals on OT rehabilitation techniques for stroke survivors and provide resources to share with stroke survivors.
Results: The Stroke Stride Rehab program integrates video-based interventions and activities, QR technology, and capacity-building by providing resources to local Occupational Therapists, Physical Therapists, and other allied health professionals. The program aims to empower healthcare professionals and improve adherence to therapy exercises and activities among stroke survivors by emphasizing repetition, regularity, and cultural competence of resources provided through utilizing video-based resources.
Discussion: The Stroke Stride Rehab program aims to improve stroke rehabilitation outcomes in rural communities using technology and community partnerships. Key challenges including ongoing training for healthcare professionals and equitable access to technology must be continually addressed for the program to remain sustainable. Future research should focus on evaluating the program’s effectiveness and research additional technology innovations that may be utilized to increase access to stroke rehabilitation therapy services.
Conclusion: Stroke Stride Rehab exemplifies a collaborative effort to address complex challenges endured by stroke survivors in rural communities. Through integrating evidence-based practices, stakeholder input, and technology resources, the program has the potential to create a meaningful impact on the quality of life for stroke survivors and serve as a model for innovative stroke rehabilitation practices in settings with limited resource access worldwide.Doctor of Occupational Therapy (OTD)Occupational Therap

Orthostatic hypotension in Parkinson's disease: association with cognitive decline?
No full textBACKGROUND
Orthostatic hypotension is common in Lewy body disorders and may be related to disease progression and the spread of Lewy body pathology. We therefore hypothesize that PD patients with orthostatic hypotension (OH) have a different cognitive profile compared to PD patients without OH.
METHODS
This cross-sectional study included 175 PD patients. Blood pressure (BP) was measured with a validated digital blood pressure monitor and patients with a systolic BP drop of > or =20 mmHg or a systolic pressure of <90 mm Hg after standing were considered to have OH. Cognition was assessed using MMSE extended by a selection of computerized cognitive tests focusing on reaction time, sustained attention, working memory and episodic verbal and visual memory.
RESULTS
Eighty-seven (49.7%) of the PD patients had OH. These patients were significantly more impaired in sustained attention and visual episodic memory compared to PD patients without OH.
CONCLUSION
We conclude that there are differences in the neuropsychological performance of patients with PD and OH, supporting the hypothesis that OH might be a marker for disease progression and cognitive decline in PD
