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 ...

Real-time Full Field Laser Doppler Imaging

Theo Lasser, Marcel Leutenegger, Tyler Nerton Thacher

We present a full field laser Doppler imaging instrument that enables real-time in vivo assessment of blood flow in dermal tissue and skin. The instrument monitors the blood perfusion in an area of about 50cm2 with 480 x 480 pixels per frame at a rate of 1 ...

Modern cataract surgery for radiation-induced cataracts in retinoblastoma

Alessia Pica

Background Surgery of radiation-induced cataracts in children with retinoblastoma (RB) is a challenge as early intervention is weighted against the need to delay surgery until complete tumour control is obtained. This study analyses the safety and function ...

Soft tissue navigation: Transferring pre-operative planning data into the operation room

Charles Baur, Benoît Dagon, Matthias Peterhans

Purpose: Computer-assisted surgery has been established in orthopedic and neurosurgery, and is now becoming available as support for soft tissue surgery. Such technology should bridge the gap between pre-operative imaging and the intra-operative scenario b ...

Delivery of FGF-2 but not VEGF by encapsulated genetically engineered myoblasts improves survival and vascularization in a model of acute skin flap ischemia

Patrick Aebischer

Stimulating angiogenesis by gene transfer approaches offers the hope of treating tissue ischemia which is untreatable by currently practiced techniques of vessel grafting and bypass surgery. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast gr ...

Return of lymphatic function after flap transfer for acute lymphedema

Melody Swartz

OBJECTIVE: The goals of this work were to develop animal models of lymphedema and tissue flap transfer, and to observe physiologic changes in lymphatic function that occur in these models over time, both systemically with lymphoscintigraphy (LS) and locall ...

A biomechanical musculoskeletal model of human upper limb for dynamic simulation

Daniel Thalmann

We provide the biomechanical model of a human upper limb we have designed and applied to the three dimensional left human arm reconstructed from the Visible Human imaging Dataset. This model includes the mechanical properties for bones, joints and muscles ...
