Development and clinical validation of computational imaging biomarkers for neurodegenerative diseases
Neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory disorders often involve complex pathophysiological mechanisms that are â to this date â only partially understood. A more comprehensive understanding of those microstructural processes and their characterization ...
EPFL2024Design for demise applied to spacecraft structural panels and experiments for ClearSpace One platform
With growing awareness of the vulnerability of the near-Earth space region and the anticipated surge in satellite objects, efforts are underway to assess and implement various mitigation strategies. These aim to minimize the impact of space activities and ...
EPFL2024Light-Activated, Bioadhesive, Poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) Brush Coatings
Jian Wang, Dominique Pioletti, Harm-Anton Klok, Peyman Karami, Nariye Cavusoglu Ataman
Rapid adhesion between tissue and synthetic materials is relevant to accelerate wound healing and to facilitate the integration of implantable medical devices. Most frequently, tissue adhesives are applied as a gel or a liquid formulation. This manuscript ...
AMER CHEMICAL SOC2020Concurrent multiscale modeling and theory of solute-strengthening for dilute and complex concentrated alloys
Under common processing conditions, both dilute and complex concentrated alloys are often realized as random alloys, with no correlation in the occupancy of lattice sites by the constituent atom types. The current thesis primary addresses two problems in r ...
EPFL2020Fiber density of collagen grafts impacts rabbit urethral regeneration
Peter Frey, Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Hans Mattias Larsson, Elif Vardar, Kalitha Pinnagoda, Ganesh Vythilingam
There is a need for efficient and “off-the-shelf” grafts in urethral reconstructive surgery. Currently available surgical techniques require harvesting of grafts from autologous sites, with increased risk of surgical complications and added patient discomf ...
2018Supernumerary Robotic Arm for Three-Handed Surgical Application: Behavioral Study and Design of Human-Machine Interface
In surgical to industrial manipulation, the operator needs assistance for tasks requiring more than two hands. Teamwork may be the source of errors and inefficiency, especially if the assistant is a novice or unfamiliar with the main operator. The need for ...
EPFL2017Adhesion of surgical sealants used in cardiothoracic and vascular surgery
Yves Leterrier, Yann Barrandon
Surgical sealants are widely used in cardiothoracic and vascular surgery essentially for hemostasis and sealing. Their adhesive properties have mainly been studied by clinical experiments. The objective of this study is to measure adhesion of the three mai ...
Elsevier2016Nano Fibrillated Cellulose Based Composite Hydrogels for an Injectable Intervertebral Disc Implant
Replacing the gel-like central part of the intervertebral disc (IVD), so-called nucleus pulposus (NP), via a minimally invasive surgery is one of the most recent approaches in the lower back pain treatments. An appropriate biomaterial for NP replacement (N ...
EPFL2016Ag-surfaces sputtered by DC and pulsed DC-magnetron sputtering effective in bacterial inactivation: Testing and characterization
César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi, Rosendo Sanjines, Oualid Baghriche
This study addresses the deposition of active, uniform nanoparticulate Ag-thin films on polyester textiles by DC-magnetron sputtering (DC) and pulsed DC-magnetron sputtering (DCP). The deposition of Ag on the polyester fiber was observed to be the function ...
2012Robotic system for cervical spine surgery
Background In contemporary surgical clinical practice, spinal instability is often treated with mechanical stabilization techniques in order to protect the spinal cord and nerve roots. These techniques involve placing screws in defined regions of the verte ...
