Real-time actuation of a dielectric elastomer actuator neuroprosthesis for facial paralysis
Yves Perriard, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Thomas Guillaume Martinez, Stefania Maria Aliki Konstantinidi, Armando Matthieu Walter, Amine Benouhiba
Facial paralysis is a highly burdening condition, resulting in a patient's inability to move his mimic musculature on one or both sides of his face. This condition compromises the patient's communication and facial expressions, and thus dramatically reduce ...
2023Bio-Enhanced Neoligaments Graft Bearing FE002 Primary Progenitor Tenocytes: Allogeneic Tissue Engineering & Surgical Proofs-of-Concept for Hand Ligament Regenerative Medicine
Corinne Scaletta, Sandra Jaccoud, Philippe Abdel Sayed, Nathalie Hirt-Burri, Cédric Peneveyre, Annick Jeannerat, Alexis Laurent, Joachim Meuli, Axelle Thomas
Hand tendon/ligament structural ruptures (tears, lacerations) often require surgical reconstruction and grafting, for the restauration of finger mechanical functions. Clinical-grade human primary progenitor tenocytes (FE002 cryopreserved progenitor cell so ...
MDPI2023Stereotactic Radiosurgery for Benign Cavernous Sinus Meningiomas: A Multicentre Study and Review of the Literature
Simple Summary Meningiomas are the most common tumours of the central nervous system (CNS). Despite their benign histology, proximity to critical neurovascular structures may lead to significant morbidity with tumour growth. This is the case for cavernous ...
MDPI2022Application of virtual reality in neurosurgery: Patient missing. A systematic review
Virtual reality (VR) technology had its earliest developments in the 1970s in the U.S. Air Force and has since evolved into a budding area of scientific research with many practical medical purposes. VR shows a high potential to benefit to learners and tra ...
2021Feasibility of an alternative method to estimate glenohumeral joint center from videogrammetry measurements and CT/MRI of patients
Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Philippe Müllhaupt, Ehsan Sarshari, Matteo Mancuso
Videogrammetry is commonly used to record upper limb motions. However, it cannot track the glenohumeral joint center (GH). GH is required to reconstruct upper limb motions. Therefore, it is often estimated by separately measuring scapular motions using sca ...
TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD2020Refinement for single-nanoparticle structure determination from low-quality single-shot coherent diffraction data
Christoph Bostedt, Christophe Nicolas
With the emergence of X-ray free-electron lasers, it is possible to investigate the structure of nanoscale samples by employing coherent diffractive imaging in the X-ray spectral regime. In this work, we developed a refinement method for structure reconstr ...
INT UNION CRYSTALLOGRAPHY2020Residual hip dysplasia in children: osseous and cartilaginous acetabular angles to guide further treatment-a pilot study
Purpose In case of residual hip dysplasia (RHD) in children, pelvic radiographs are sometimes insufficient to precisely evaluate the entire coverage of the femoral head, when trying to decide on the need for further reconstructive procedures. Methods This ...
BMC2019Knitted Silk-Collagen Scaffold Incorporated with Ligament Stem/Progenitor Cells Sheet for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction and Osteoarthritis Prevention
Dominique Pioletti, Weiliang Shen, Ting Zhu, Jiayun Huang
Current surgical management of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture still remains an intractable challenge in ACL regeneration due to the weak self-healing capability of ACL. Inadequate cell numbers and vascularization within the articular cavity contr ...
2019Progestins used for hormonal contraception in Switzerland: study of their effects on the breast epithelium
Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the most common cause of cancer death among women. Hormones have been shown to have a key role in breast development and carcinogenesis. Repeated activation of progesterone receptor (PR) signaling as ...
EPFL2018An Ex vivo Model to Study Hormone Action in the Human Breast
Cathrin Brisken, Georgios Sflomos
The study of hormone action in the human breast has been hampered by lack of adequate model systems. Upon in vitro culture, primary mammary epithelial cells tend to lose hormone receptor expression. Widely used hormone receptor positive breast cancer cell ...
