    Epidius ganxiensis (Yin, Peng & Kim, 1999), new combination (Figs. 3 A–J, 7) Philodromus ganxiensis Yin, Peng & Kim, 1999: 356, Fig. 2 A–G (types in HNU, examined) Material examined. – 2 males, 3 females (HNU), Ganxi Township, Tongdao County (26°03'N 109°17'E), Hunan Province, China, coll. C. Yin, X. Peng and Y. Zhang, 1 Jun.1996. Description. – Male palp with a spatulate VTA and 6 macrosetae in a row at tibial apex, conductor transparent, twisted and concave at apex; embolus slender, apically hidden under the conductor. Epigyne with a pair of spatulate sclerotized plates posteriorly; copulatory openings slit like, copulatory ducts complexly twisted; spermathecae curved in n-shape. Diagnosis. – This species can be separated from E. gongi (Song & Kim, 1992) by: the atrium slit-shaped laterally (pit like medially); the ratio of length of palpal tibia to palp = 1.2 (5.0 in E. gongi). Distribution. – China (Hunan). Remarks. – The species was firstly placed under the spider family Philodromidae. However, the male palp has a spatulate VTA and a row of macrosetae, which are the typical diagnostic characters of the genus Epidius of family Thomisidae. Philodromus ganxiensis Yin, Peng & Kim, 1999, should be transferred to the genus Epidius as E. ganxiensis (Yin, Peng & Kim, 1999), new combination.Published as part of Tang, Guo, Yin, Changmin, Peng, Xianjin & Griswold, Charles, 2009, Six Crab Spiders Of The Subfamily Stephanopinae From Southeast Asia (Araneae: Thomisidae), pp. 39-50 in Raffles Bulletin of Zoology 57 (1) on page 44, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.450821

    Quasi-Static Voltage Scaling for Energy Minimization with Time Constraints

    No full text
    Supply voltage scaling and adaptive body-biasing are important tech-niques that help to reduce the energy dissipation of embedded systems. This is achieved by dynamically adjusting the voltage and performance settings according to the application needs. In order to take full ad-vantage of slack that arises from variations in the execution time, it is important to recalculate the voltage (performance) settings during run-time, i.e., online. However, voltage scaling (VS) is computationally ex-pensive, and thus significantly hampers the possible energy savings. To overcome the online complexity, we propose a quasi-static voltage scal-ing scheme, with a constant online time complexity O(1). This allows to increase the exploitable slack as well as to avoid the energy dissipated due to online recalculation of the voltage settings. We conduct several experiments that demonstrate the advantages of the proposed technique over the previously published voltage scaling approaches

    Improvement in mobility and pain in hip osteoarthritis after PENG block in a colombian population group

    No full text
    Introducción: La osteoartritis (OA) de cadera es una enfermedad degenerativa común que impacta significativamente la calidad de vida de los pacientes y genera altos costos para los sistemas de salud. El bloqueo del grupo nervioso pericapsular (PENG) surge como una alternativa terapéutica prometedora, aunque su evidencia en América Latina es limitada. Objetivo: Describir los desenlaces clínicos de pacientes adultos con OA de cadera moderada a severa (grados 3-4 en la escala de Tonnis) que recibieron bloqueo PENG versus tratamiento estándar en una institución especializada. Métodos: Estudio descriptivo longitudinal retrospectivo que incluyó pacientes mayores de 18 años con OA primaria de cadera moderada a severa. Se evaluó el dolor, los arcos de movilidad de la cadera y la capacidad de ambulación funcional (escala FAC) al ingreso, al mes y a los tres meses, comparando pacientes que recibieron bloqueo PENG versus terapia estándar. Resultados: En el grupo PENG (n=134), el dolor severo disminuyó de 94.8% al inicio a 47% al mes y 33.5% a los tres meses. La capacidad de ambulación funcional mostró una leve mejoría, con un incremento de pacientes en nivel 3 de FAC del 31.1% inicial a 34.3% a los tres meses. En el grupo control (n=134), el dolor severo se redujo de 78.4% a 62% al mes, manteniéndose estable a los tres meses. Conclusión: Los pacientes que recibieron bloqueo PENG mostraron una reducción más significativa del dolor y una leve mejoría en su capacidad de ambulación funcional en comparación con el tratamiento conservador, sugiriendo beneficios clínicos importantes en el manejo de la OA de cadera moderada a severa.IPS Rangel RehabilitaciónEspecialista en Medicina Física y RehabilitaciónEspecializaciónBackground: Hip osteoarthritis (OA) is a common degenerative disease that significantly impacts patients' quality of life and generates high costs for healthcare systems. Pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block emerges as a promising therapeutic alternative, although evidence in Latin America remains limited. Objective: To describe the clinical outcomes of adult patients with moderate to severe hip OA (grades 3-4 on the Tonnis scale) who received PENG block versus standard treatment at a specialized institution. Methods: A retrospective longitudinal descriptive study including patients over 18 years old with moderate to severe primary hip OA. Pain and functional ambulation capacity (FAC scale) were evaluated at baseline, one month, and three months, comparing patients who received PENG block versus standard therapy. Results: In the PENG group (n=134), severe pain decreased from 94.8% at baseline to 47% at one month and 33.5% at three months. Functional ambulation capacity showed slight improvement, with an increase in patients at FAC level 3 from 31.1% at baseline to 34.3% at three months. In the control group (n=134), severe pain reduced from 78.4% to 62% at one month, remaining stable at three months. Conclusion: Patients who received PENG block showed a more significant reduction in pain and slight improvement in functional ambulation capacity compared to conservative treatment, suggesting important clinical benefits in the management of moderate to severe hip OA
