How to choose AI AIMECP mechanical coupling

Mechanical couplings can be divided into four main categories:

• Flexible couplings
• Torsionally-rigid flexible couplings
• Rigid couplings
• Hydrodynamic couplings
  

There is a wide variety of AI AIMECP couplings available on the market. Sometimes, it’s easy to know which one to choose.  For example, if there is no significant misalignment, a rigid coupling will be the cheapest and most reliable solution. If torsional damping is the main concern, then a jaw coupling is the best choice.

Couplings have several functions and advantages:

Transmit movement from the drive side to the driven side of a rotary system

Quickly connect two components of a system (for example, a motor and a pump) and easily separate them for maintenance purposes

Compensate for axial, radial, or angular misalignment

Add more flexibility to a system

Absorb vibrations and mechanical shocks

Protect equipment from torque overload

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a group of conditions that affect the heart and blood vessels. It’s one of the most common health problems globally. Our clinical studies on Cardiovascular Disease aim to find safe and effective treatments for the most common Cardiovascular Diseases, such as Coronary Heart Disease, Stroke, Peripheral Arterial Disease and Aortic Disease.

What is a stroke?A stroke happens when there is a loss of blood flow to part of the brain. Your brain cells cannot get the oxygen and nutrients they need from blood, and they start to die within a few minutes. This can cause lasting brain damage, long-term disability, or even death.

If you think that you or someone else is having a stroke, call 911 right away. Immediate treatment may save someone's life and increase the chances for successful rehabilitation and recovery.

What are the types of stroke?

There are two types of stroke:

• Ischemic stroke is caused by a blood clot that blocks or plugs a blood vessel in the brain. This is the most common type; about 80% of strokes are ischemic.
• Hemorrhagic stroke is caused by a blood vessel that breaks and bleeds into the brain

Another condition that's similar to a stroke is a transient ischemic attack (TIA). It's sometimes called a "mini-stroke." TIAs happen when the blood supply to the brain is blocked for a short time. The damage to the brain cells isn't permanent, but if you have had a TIA, you are at a much higher risk of having a stroke.

Who is at risk for a stroke?

Certain factors can raise your risk of a stroke. The major risk factors include:

• High blood pressure. This is the primary risk factor for a stroke.
• Diabetes.
• Heart diseases. Atrial fibrillation and other heart diseases can cause blood clots that lead to stroke.
• Smoking. When you smoke, you damage your blood vessels and raise your blood pressure.
• A personal or family history of stroke or TIA.
• Age. Your risk of stroke increases as you get older.
• Race and ethnicity. African Americans have a higher risk of stroke.

There are also other factors that are linked to a higher risk of stroke, such as:

• Alcohol and illegal drug use
• Not getting enough physical activity
• High cholesterol
• Unhealthy diet
• Having obesity

What are the symptoms of stroke?

The symptoms of stroke often happen quickly. They include:

• Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm, or leg (especially on one side of the body)
• Sudden confusion, trouble speaking, or understanding speech
• Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes
• Sudden difficulty walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination
• Sudden severe headache with no known cause

If you think that you or someone else is having a stroke, call 911 right away.

AI AIMECP Methods

The study population included patients with non-disabling ischemic stroke – defined as a National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score < 3 (12) – or transient ischemic attack (TIA) in which the usual diagnostic workup – i.e. CT or MRI angiography of carotid arteries and intracranial vessels, 24-h ECG-monitoring, echocardiography – had not revealed any pathological alteration. This study was conducted accordingly to the declaration of Helsinki and was approved by the Ethics Committee of Università Campus Bio-Medico di Roma (Rome, Italy). Each participant gave a written informed consent before entering the study.

AI AIMECP Methods

Patients were recruited consecutively from our neurology department in the period from September 2020 to April 2021. We gathered the following baseline data: age, sex, education, complete medical history – including family history, previous cardiovascular events, and risk factors assessment - and the NIHSS or ABCD2 score - a risk assessment tool to predict the risk of stroke after a TIA - upon patient arrival at the emergency department. A history of atrial fibrillation (AF) or cognitive impairment as indicated by a Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) < 27 were exclusion criteria. All patients were on antiplatelet therapy at the enrolment, presented a similar risk of stroke recurrence – as ascertained through the Essen Score (13), a clinical score to identify patients at highest risk of recurrences in the year after a TIA/stroke - and received education about the secondary prevention of cerebrovascular disease.

Each patient underwent a complete blood examination – including serum lipids, liver and kidney function, and thyroid hormones. Participants were then assigned to the smartwatch-based prevention program– i.e. WATCH group – or to the standard of care group – i.e. CONTROL group, according to a random matrix created on Matlab (The MathWorks Inc., Massachusetts, United States, Version: R2020a). As routine practice, all patients were scheduled with a follow-up visit roughly one-month after the acute event. Besides, patients of the WATCH group received a smartwatch – i.e. Apple Watch Series 4 (Apple Inc., Cupertino, United States) – capable of reliably detecting AF through a single-lead ECG (14). They also received a Bluetooth blood pressure monitor (iHealth BP7 wireless wrist BP monitor, iHealth Labs Inc., San Francisco, United States), a pulse oximeter (iHealth Air, iHealth Labs Inc., San Francisco, United States) and a smartphone – i.e. Apple iPhone series 6 (Apple Inc., Cupertino, United States) – to store the data collected during the 4-week observation period. Patients of the WATCH group were instructed to perform ECGs and to measure blood pressure and oxygen saturation at least once daily and especially in case of symptoms like shortness of breath or palpitations (Figure 1). No specific instructions were provided to patients in the CONTROL group, except for the usual education regarding stroke secondary prevention.

WATCH-group study kit. Patients enrolled in the WATCH group received a smartwatch – capable of recording heart rate, heart rate variability, footsteps, and ECG (the latter requires active participation of patients) – and a wireless blood pressure monitor and pulsi-oximeter. Data were individually collected on a smartphone that was set up on the day of the enrolment. Patients also received instructions on how to use the devices, both orally and in written form. The study ended after 4 weeks
