Validation of Numerical Models of a Rotorcraft Crashworthy Seat and Subfloor by Paolo Astori, Mauro Zanella, Matteo Bernardini

“…The present work explores some critical aspects of the numerical modeling of a rotorcraft seat and subfloor equipped with energy-absorbing stages, which are paramount in crash landing conditions. To limit the vast complexity of the problem, a purely vertical impact is considered as a reference scenario for an assembly made of a crashworthy helicopter seat and a subfloor section, including an anthropomorphic dummy. …”

Structural Analysis of a Composite Passenger Seat for the Case of an Aircraft Emergency Landing by Georgios Tzanakis, Athanasios Kotzakolios, Efthimis Giannaros, Vassilis Kostopoulos

“…More specifically, a three-occupant aircraft seat configuration is studied for crash landing load cases and is subjected to modification iterations from a baseline design to a composite one for its structural performance, its weight reduction and the reduction of forces transmitted to the passengers.…”

Nephrologists’ perspectives on communication and decision-making regarding technique survival in peritoneal dialysis: an international qualitative interview study by Karine Manera, David Johnson, Jonathan Craig, Saraladevi Naicker, Chandana Guha, Jeffrey Perl, Angela Yee-Moon Wang, Jie Dong, Yeoungjee Cho, Martin Wilkie, Edwina Brown, Roberto Pecoits-Filho, Jenny Shen, Allison Jauré, Benedicta Yudianto, Tony Dunning, Rajnish Mehrotra, Nicole Scholes-Robertson

“…Transcripts were thematically analysed.Setting and participants 30 nephrologists across 11 countries including Australia, the USA, the UK, Hong Kong, Canada, Singapore, Japan, New Zealand, Thailand, Colombia and Uruguay were interviewed from April 2017 to November 2019.Results We identified four themes: defining patient suitability (confidence in capacity for self-management, ensuring clinical stability and expected resilience), building endurance (facilitating access to practical support, improving mental well-being, optimising quality of care and training to reduce risk of complications), establishing rapport through effective communications (managing expectations to enhance trust, individualising care and harnessing a multidisciplinary approach) and confronting fear and acknowledging barriers to haemodialysis (preventing crash landing to haemodialysis, facing concerns of losing independence and positive framing of haemodialysis).Conclusion Nephrologists reported that technique survival in PD is influenced by patients’ medical circumstances, psychological motivation and positively influenced by the education and support provided by treating clinicians and families. …”
