Transient brain activity dynamics discriminate levels of consciousness during anesthesia

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Elvira Pirondini, Ayberk Ozkirli

The awake mammalian brain is functionally organized in terms of large-scale distributed networks that are constantly interacting. Loss of consciousness might disrupt this temporal organization leaving patients unresponsive. We hypothesize that characterizi ...

Nonempirical semilocal density functionals for correcting the self-interaction of polaronic states

Alfredo Pasquarello, Stefano Falletta

Through the use of the piecewise-linearity condition of the total energy, we correct the self-interaction for the study of polarons by constructing nonempirical functionals at the semilocal level of theory. We consider two functionals, the gamma DFT and mu ...

Ray-tracing MRT and human thermophysiology model combination for local discomfort prediction

Dolaana Khovalyg, Arnab Chatterjee, Mohamad Rida

Thermal comfort and discomfort based on the local sensation of different body parts have been an important development in thermal comfort studies from the past decade. The human thermophysiology model can be a handy tool to predict local skin and core temp ...

Repurposed drug combination via high-throughput screening and dual drug delivery system development for the treatment of retinoblastoma

Po-Jen Tseng

The goal of retinoblastoma (RB) treatment is to save the child's life, eyes and functional vision, with that order of priority. The management of RB is complex and involves strategically chosen methods of surgical enucleation, external beam radiotherapy, i ...

Measuring Glycolytic Activity with Hyperpolarized [2H7, U-13C6] D-Glucose in the Naive Mouse Brain under Different Anesthetic Conditions

Rolf Gruetter, Bernard Lanz, Andrea Capozzi, Yves Pilloud, Emmanuelle Ines Flatt

Glucose is the primary fuel for the brain; its metabolism is linked with cerebral function. Different magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) techniques are available to assess glucose metabolism, providing complementary information. Our first aim was to in ...

Emergence of robust self-organized undulatory swimming based on local hydrodynamic force sensing

Auke Ijspeert, Kamilo Andres Melo Becerra, Robin Thandiackal, Laura Isabel Paez Coy, Kyoichi Akiyama

Undulatory swimming represents an ideal behavior to investigate locomotion control and the role of the underlying central and peripheral components in the spinal cord. Many vertebrate swimmers have central pattern generators and local pressure-sensitive re ...

Comparison of autofluorescence and white-light bronchoscopies performed with the Evis Lucera Spectrum for the detection of bronchial cancers: a meta-analysis

Georges Wagnières, Xiuwei Zhang, Li Wang, Yang Yang

Background: Many recent studies have reported that autofluorescence bronchoscopy (AFB) has a superior sensitivity and decreased specificity in the diagnosis of bronchial cancers when compared with white-light bronchoscopy (WLB). We specifically analyzed th ...

Raspberry-Pi based system for propofol monitoring

Sandro Carrara, Francesca Stradolini, Danilo Demarchi, Tugba Kilic, Abuduwaili Tuoheti

Induction of anesthesia with propofol is a largely adopted technique in hospital environments. The correct dosage of this compound is essential to avoid under- or over-anesthesia that may result in serious side-effects. Therefore, in clinical settings, lon ...

Hybrid peripheral-spinal neuroprosthesis for refined motor execution after paralysis

Sophie Marie Marthe Wurth

Spinal cord injury (SCI) disrupts the communication between the brain and the spinal circuits responsible for movement, thereby causing severe motor deficits. Current strategies to restore function to paralyzed limbs have separately investigated electrical ...

Xenon Recovery at Room Temperature using Metal-Organic Frameworks

Daniele Ongari

Xenon is known to be a very efficient anesthetic gas, but its cost prohibits the wider use in medical industry and other potential applications. It has been shown that Xe recovery and recycling from anesthetic gas mixtures can significantly reduce its cost ...
