AbstractBackground/AimTo know the differences in balance of people with intellectual disability with and without obesity.Method549 people with intellectual disability were evaluated. Participants were categorized as obese or non‐obese according to their body mass index. All participants were evaluated with tests for static and semi‐static balance.ResultsThere were significant differences in the static balance between obese and non‐obese people with intellectual disability. For women, there were not significant differences for any tests; in contrast for men, there were only significant differences in the SLSCE in people aged 37–46 years.ConclusionsSignificant differences were found in static balance between non‐obese and obese people. In the analyses, in consideration of gender and age range, significant differences were only found in one static balance test, in the young adult men´s group. No significant differences were found in women, either in middle‐aged adults or in older adults.

[EN] The discrete wavelet transform (DWT) has attracted a rising interest in recent years to monitor the condition of rotating electrical machines in transient regime, because it can reveal the time-frequency behavior of the current's components associated to fault conditions. Nevertheless, the implementation of the wavelet transform (WT), especially on embedded or low-power devices, faces practical problems, such as the election of the mother wavelet, the tuning of its parameters, the coordination between the sampling frequency and the levels of the transform, and the construction of the bank of wavelet filters, with highly different bandwidths that constitute the core of the DWT. In this paper, a diagnostic system using the harmonic WT is proposed, which can alleviate these practical problems because it is built using a single fast Fourier transform of one phase's current. The harmonic wavelet was conceived to perform musical analysis, hence its name, and it has spread into many fields, but, to the best of the authors' knowledge, it has not been applied before to perform fault diagnosis of rotating electrical machines in transient regime using the stator current. The simplicity and performance of the proposed approach are assessed by comparison with other types of WTs, and it has been validated with the experimental diagnosis of a 3.15-MW induction motor with broken bars.

432 440 66 3 ; S ; [EN] Transient-based methods for fault diagnosis of induction machines (IMs) are attracting a rising interest, due to their reliability and ability to adapt to a wide range of IM's working conditions. These methods compute the time-frequency (TF) distribution of the stator current, where the patterns of the related fault components can be detected. A significant amount of recent proposals in this field have focused on improving the resolution of the TF distributions, allowing a better discrimination and identification of fault harmonic components. Nevertheless, as the resolution improves, computational requirements (power computing and memory) greatly increase, restricting its implementation in low-cost devices for performing on-line fault diagnosis. To address these drawbacks, in this paper, the use of the short-frequency Fourier transform (SFFT) for fault diagnosis of induction machines working under transient regimes is proposed. The SFFT not only keeps the resolution of traditional techniques, such as the short-time Fourier transform, but also achieves a drastic reduction of computing time and memory resources, making this proposal suitable for on-line fault diagnosis. This method is theoretically introduced and experimentally validated using a laboratory test bench.

Rationale & Objective: Data for outcomes of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) secondary to systemic sclerosis (scleroderma) requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT) are limited. We examined the incidence and prevalence of ESRD due to scleroderma in Europe and the outcomes among these patients following initiation of RRT. Study Design: Registry study of incidence and prevalence and a matched cohort study of clinical outcomes. Setting & Participants: Patients represented in any of 19 renal registries that provided data to the European Renal Association-European Dialysis and Transplant Association (ERA-EDTA) Registry between 2002 and 2013. Predictor: Scleroderma as the identified cause of ESRD. Outcomes: Incidence and prevalence of ESRD from scleroderma. Recovery from RRT dependence, patient survival after ESRD, and graft survival after kidney transplantation. Analytical Approach: Incidence and prevalence were calculated using population data from the European Union and standardized to population characteristics in 2005. Patient and graft survival were compared with 2 age- and sex-matched control groups without scleroderma: (1) diabetes mellitus as the cause of ESRD and (2) conditions other than diabetes mellitus as the cause of ESRD. Survival analyses were performed using Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox regression. Results: 342 patients with scleroderma (0.14% of all incident RRT patients) were included. Between 2002 and 2013, the range of adjusted annual incidence and prevalence rates of RRT for ESRD due to scleroderma were 0.11 to 0.26 and 0.73 to 0.95 per million population, respectively. Recovery of independent kidney function was greatest in the scleroderma group (7.6% vs 0.7% in diabetes mellitus and 2.0% in other primary kidney diseases control group patients, both P Limitations: No data for extrarenal manifestations, treatment, or recurrence. Conclusions: Survival of patients with scleroderma who receive dialysis for more than 90 days was worse than for those with other causes of ESRD. Patient survival after transplantation was similar to that observed among patients with ESRD due to other conditions. Patients with scleroderma had a higher rate of recovery from RRT dependence than controls. ; Peer reviewed
