Evaluation and Comparison of Current Fetal Ultrasound Image Segmentation Methods for Biometric Measurements: A Grand Challenge

Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Xavier Bresson, Anca-Ramona Ciurte

This paper presents the evaluation results of the methods submitted to Challenge US: Biometric Measurements from Fetal Ultrasound Images, a segmentation challenge held at the IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging 2012. The challenge was set to ...

Chevron formation of the zebrafish muscle segments

Andrew Charles Oates

The muscle segments of fish have a folded shape, termed a chevron, which is thought to be optimal for the undulating body movements of swimming. However, the mechanism shaping the chevron during embryogenesis is not understood. Here, we used time-lapse mic ...

Angular Momentum During Unexpected Multidirectional Perturbations Delivered While Walking

Silvestro Micera

This study investigated the hypothesis that the coupled contribution of all body segments to the whole-body response during both walking and managing unexpected perturbations is characterized by similar features which do not depend on the laterality (i.e., ...

A Computational Model for Epidural Electrical Stimulation of Spinal Sensorimotor Circuits

Silvestro Micera, Grégoire Courtine, Marco Capogrosso, Stanisa Raspopovic, Pavel Musienko, Nikolaus Wenger, Janine Beauparlant

Epidural electrical stimulation (EES) of lumbosacral segments can restore a range of movements after spinal cord injury. However, the mechanisms and neural structures through which EES facilitates movement execution remain unclear. Here, we designed a comp ...

Cement distribution in vertebroplasties: imaging and simulation

Vincent Stadelmann

Prophylactic vertebroplasty, the percutaneous injection of bone cement into a weak vertebral body (VB), has been shown to reinforce the bone and possibly to minimize fracture risks. Cement leakage is still a common occurrence that can cause severe complica ...

Rat bladder muscle regeneration induced by local delivery of an engineered insulin-like growth factor 1 in fibrin gels

Lirong Yang

Currently, both congenital abnormalities and developmental problems of the bladder in children, and other dysfunctions in adults, require reconstructive surgery. Such correction involves transplant action of native tissues (such as gastrointestinal segment ...

Postural adjustment in experimental leg length difference evaluated by means of thermal infrared imaging

Silvio Ionta

Limb length discrepancy (LLD) is defined as a condition in which limbs are unequal. The asymmetric load of body segments secondary to LLD may cause a tonic contraction of back and lower limb muscles, thus resulting in subtle cutaneous temperature variation ...

Step training reinforces specific spinal locomotor circuitry in adult spinal rats

Grégoire Courtine, Rubia van den Brand

Locomotor training improves function after a spinal cord injury both in experimental and clinical settings. The activity-dependent mechanisms underlying such improvement, however, are sparsely understood. Adult rats received a complete spinal cord transect ...

Comparative assessment of intimal hyperplasia development after 14 days in two different experimental settings: tissue culture versus ex vivo continuous perfusion of human saphenous vein

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Joël Rey

Intimal hyperplasia (IH) is a vascular remodeling process which often leads to failure of arterial bypass or hemodialysis access. Experimental and clinical work have provided insight in IH development; however, further studies under precise controlled cond ...
