RESUMO
During an FDM production process, there are different external disturbances to the characteristics of the machine that can affect to the production process. These disturbances will cause the final result differs from the desired one. Moreover, these disturbances, such as temperature or chamber humidity, are extremely important in case of using biocompatible materials. The use of these kind of materials with not controlled environment, can cause them to modify or loss of their properties; what will make the product unusable. Apart from these external disturbances, the conditions of the machine to which the material is subjected must also be considered, such as temperature, vibrations or extrusion speed. The monitoring of all these data will allow to know the conditions to which the product was exposed during the process. In this way, it will be able to verify the validity of the final product. For these reasons, the purpose of this work is to monitor the conditions of production of structures with biocompatible materials by fused deposition modelling (FDM) technique. This monitoring will allow us to obtain a report that guarantee the technical and geometrical characteristics of the model and the biomaterial properties. The parameters chosen to be monitored are: Diameter of filament use, temperature in extrusion nozzle, ambient temperature in closed chamber, ambient humidity in closed chamber. The obtained results, after collected and analysing the data, present variations of up to 3% in the temperature of the nozzle of the extruder with respect to set temperature. In the case of the filament diameter the difference with respect to the value provided from the filament supplier is of 13,7%. In addition, the results show how the ambient humidity in closed chamber has changed by 2 percentage points and the ambient temperature in closed chamber has been increased 6,52 °C with respect to the set values.

The majority of musculoskeletal injuries located in the shoulder are often due to repetitive or sustained movements that occur in work routines in different areas. In the case of musicians, such as violinists, who have long and daily training routines, the repetitive movements they perform are forced and sometimes the postures are not natural. Therefore, this article aims to study and simulate the dynamic behavior of the glenohumeral joint under repetitive conditions that represent the different postures assumed by a violinist during his daily training. For this purpose, the criteria provided by the RULA (rapid upper limb assessment) method have been used. Subsequently, by using as a reference geometry that of the articulation under study generated and modeled in CATIA®[VERSIÓN 5R21], a FEM analysis has been proposed with the software ANSYS®[VERSIÓN 17.1] simulating the short and cyclic movements of the Humerus of the violinists. With the analysis carried out, thanks to linear and isotropic approximations of the joint, it has been possible to know the approximate dynamic behavior of tissues, muscles and tendons, and the response of the joint in terms of fatigue.

INTRODUCTION: skin fixing devices in peripheral, central or arterial catheters have several important drawbacks: site infection, stacking of material in the anatomical area which is very annoying for the patient and medical staff risk when fixating stitches are used. OBJECTIVE: to develop a fixing device that simplifies presently used systems, favoring asepsis and motility. METHODS: the device herein described is composed by a mechanical fixation, a closing system and coupling for intravenous catheters. The system has a thin circular piece with at least two holes for subcutaneous fixation, one or several conducts for lumina and a hollow cylindrical part in one side, screwed exteriorly and flat inside, with an oriented protuberance. A watertight plug with one or several thin tubes that adapt to the lumina, a positional slot, a handle and a solid screwed tap for perfect closure are available for at home use. An intermediate plug with one or several lumina and a screwed hollow plug are provided for in hospital use. RESULTS: the above described device is intended to be used in two settings: in hospital and at home. It is supposed to reduce the risk of infection and stacking of the anatomical site where cutaneo us puncture with fixation of peripheral, central or arterial catheters is performed.
Introducción: los medios de fijación a la piel de un catéter venoso periférico, de un catéter venoso central o de un catéter arterial central presentan los siguientes graves inconvenientes: ser la sede de infecciones a nivel del lugar de la punción, provocar una saturación de la zona anatómica, la cual resulta muy difícil de soportar e incómodo para el paciente portador, y suponer un riesgo para el personal de enfermería cuando se usan hilos de sutura para fijar el soporte del catéter. Objetivo: por lo anteriormente expuesto, se ha detectado la necesidad de diseñar un dispositivo que reduzca la complejidad y aparatosidad de los sistemas conocidos y empleados en la actualidad, favoreciendo la asepsia y la movilidad del paciente. Método: el desarrollo presentado en este artículo se refiere a un sistema mecánico de fijación, cierre y acoplamiento para catéter de perfusión intravenosa. El sistema dispone de una pieza circular de pequeño espesor con al menos dos orificios para su fijación subcutánea, centralmente de uno o más conductos para acoplar lúmenes, y de una parte cilíndrica hueca que sobresale a uno de los lados, exteriormente roscada e interiormente lisa con un tetón de posición. Para uso domiciliario se dispone de un tapón de estanqueidad con uno o más tubos de pequeño diámetro que se acoplan en los orificios para lúmenes, una ranura de posición, un tirador y un tapón roscado ciego para el cierre hermético con la parte roscada. Para uso hospitalario se dispone de un tapón intermedio con una o más entradas para lúmenes, así como de un tapón roscado hueco que permite su acoplamiento hermético con la parte roscada. Resultados: el desarrollo descrito en este artículo va a ser utilizado en dos ambientes: ambiente domiciliario y ambiente hospitalario. Además, reduce el riesgo de infección y saturación de la zona anatómica de los pacientes en los que se realiza la punción cutánea en la que se fijan catéteres venosos periféricos, catéteres venosos centrales o catéteres arteriales centrales.
