Non-compressive sleeves versus compression stockings after total knee arthroplasty: A prospective pilot study
Compression stockings are routinely prescribed after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Non-compressive sleeves embedded with semiconductor elements (Incrediwear) are designed to enhance blood flow. The objective of this investigation is to compare compression stockings and Incrediwear on post-TKA measures.

Patient-Specific Pain Model for Identifying Patients at Risk Following TKA
Remote patient monitoring provides clinicians with visibility to patients’ recovery beyond what can be achieved with in clinic visits alone. Patients’ pain management is an important aspect of recovery following total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and one that is increasingly tracked remotely through digital applications. Its timely assessment may provide clinicians with a way to detect postoperative complications.

Accuracy of measuring knee flexion after TKA through wearable IMU sensors
Wearable sensors have the potential to facilitate remote monitoring for patients recovering from knee replacement surgery. Using IMU sensors attached to the patients’ leg, knee flexion can be monitored while the patients are recovering in their home environment. Ideally, these flexion angle measurements will have an accuracy and repeatability at least on par with current clinical standards. To validate the clinical accuracy of a two-sensor IMU system, knee flexion angles were measured in eight subjects post-TKA and compared with other in-clinic angle measurement techniques.

Exposure of chondrocytes in vitro with microbial DNA amplified from human osteoarthritis cartilage induces widespread OA-associated DNA methylation changes

An optical in-situ tool for visualizing and understanding wetting dynamics in membrane distillation
This paper describes the development of a new optical tool to detect in-situ wetting in membrane distillation. The principle of the detection tool is based on the phenomenon of light transmission. A dedicated experimental setup was developed. The proof of concept of this optical tool is validated using in parallel the Detection of Dissolved Tracer Intrusion (DDTI) method that was previously developed, and which is based on the detection of remaining salt traces in wetted pores by scanning electron microscopy and x-ray dispersion spectroscopy.

Assessing upcoming touristic town's municipal solid waste flows and characterisation: a case of Phetchaburi Province, Thailand
Understanding the quantity and characteristics of waste generation in a locality is important for an appropriate estimation of the recyclability potential and overall waste management. Detailed municipal solid waste characterisations were conducted in three municipalities in Phetchaburi Province, Thailand. Physical composition (% wet basis) indicated the dominance of organic waste with 31.8% of food waste, and 20.04% of yard wastes.

Visualizing and evaluating wetting in membrane distillation: New methodology and indicators based on Detection of Dissolved Tracer Intrusion (DDTI)
The risk of membrane wetting is often considered as a setback to the development of membrane distillation (MD). Liquid entry pressure (LEP) is the main wettability indicator but it only gives information on the first event of total liquid intrusion in the biggest pore.

Dealing with emerging waste streams: Used tyre assessment in Thailand using material flow analysis
Increasing urbanisation and automobile use have given rise to an increase in global tyre waste generation. A tyre becomes waste once it wears out and is no longer fit for its original purpose, and is thus in its end-of-life state. Unlike in developed countries, where waste tyre management has already become a significant issue, it is rarely a priority waste stream in developing countries.

Potential Membrane Based Treatment of Triethylene Glycol Wastewater from Gas Separation Plant
In gas separation plant, triethylene glycol (TEG) is used in gas dehydration process. This in turn generates large volumes of two wastewater streams containing TEG in a range of 0.1-10%(by volume). TEG is a natural disinfectant, hence at higher concentrations it cannot be sent to a conventional effluent treatment.
