Monitoring nociception in patients with morbid obesity undergoing bariatric surgery by Salvatore Fabrizio Favitta, Danilo Santolamazza, Ersilia Luca, Roberto De Cicco, Paola Aceto

“…Intraoperative and postoperative opioid consumption were compared between patients subject to nociceptive monitoring and those in whom analgesia was guided by their changes in vital parameters. Although the devices seem able to optimize the anesthetic management of these patients, studies on bariatric populations are scarce and do not allow us to state whether the routine use of these tools can modify the patient’s clinical outcome.…”

Impact of Uniaxial Pre-Strains on the Forming Limit Curve (FLC) of CuZn 70-30 Brass Sheets for Enhanced Formability in Production Applications Using the Nakajima Test by Aseel Hamad Abed, Raed R. Shwaish, Asaad Ali Abbas, Baha S. Mahdi, Waleed Ahmed

“…This study investigates the influence of uniaxial pre-strains on the Forming Limit Curve (FLC) of CuZn 70-30 brass sheets, which aims to enhance their formability by identifying and optimizing key forming parameters. Adding a new variable, the impact of uniaxial pre-strain upon FLC, was our aim of this study and, consequently, the CuZn 70-30 brass sheet formability using punch-stretching tests with purpose-built tools, we experimentally obtained FLCs for brass sheets under varying levels of pre-strain (0.04, 0.06, and 0.08) applied through uniaxial tension by using Nakajima tests with purpose-built tools. …”
