The Epistemological Foundations of Freud's Energetics Model
This article aims to clarify the epistemological foundations of the Freudian energetics model, starting with a historical review of the 19th century scientific context in which Freud's research lay down its roots. Beyond the physiological and anatomical re ...
FRONTIERS MEDIA SA2018Noninvasive Stroke Volume Monitoring by Electrical Impedance Tomography
In clinical practice it is of vital importance to track the health of a patient's cardiovascular system via the continuous measurement of hemodynamic parameters. Cardiac output (CO) and the related stroke volume (SV) are two such parameters of central inte ...
EPFL2018Live Demonstration: An IoT SmartWatch-based System for Intensive Care Monitoring
Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara, Francesca Stradolini, Eleonora Lavalle
Nowadays, wearable devices are largely spread in many fields and in wellness monitoring too. In this paper we propose a smartwatch-based IoT system to improve the monitoring efficacy of critical hospitalized patients. The medical doctor assigned to the uni ...
2017Paradigm-Shifting Players for IoT: Smart-Watches for Intensive Care Monitoring
Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara, Francesca Stradolini, Danilo Demarchi, Eleonora Lavalle
Wearable devices, e.g. smart-watches, are gaining popularity in many fields and in wellness monitoring too. In this paper we propose an IoT application to alert the medical doctor assigned to a critical unit by using a smart-watch. The wearable device impr ...
2016The chromatin remodeller Chd7 and the calcium ATPase Serca2 - adding new facets to the role of Notch in Hematopoiesis and T-ALL
Project I: Chd7 Deficiency does not affect N1-driven T-ALL Induction and Maintenance nor impair Hematopoiesis Notch1 has been shown to be a key driver in pediatric T-cell acute lymphobastic leukemia (T-ALL). Previous work in the lab identified the chromati ...
EPFL2015Design, manufacturing and implementation of a novel 2-axis force sensor for haptic applications
Minimally invasive surgeries on the lungs have eliminated the ability for surgeons to place their hands on the patient's organ to feel for abnormalities. Therefore, in this paper, a force sensor for 2 degrees of freedom haptic applications is described. It ...
Elsevier Science Sa2014Early Dynamometers (from Muscle to Steam Power)
Spring balances, based on Hooke’s law, have been used for weighing since the early 18th century. At the end of the century, naturalists such as Buffon felt the need to quantify the muscular force of men (humans) and animals. The first practical, portable “ ...
2014Force and Work Measurements: The Beginnings
The first practical, portable “dynamometer”, designed in 1798 by Regnier, was used to quantify the muscular strength of men and animals. It was promptly used by ethnologists to test the strength of the “savages”. A smaller improved model (Collin dynamomete ...
2014Aspects of Arterial Wall Simulations: Nonlinear Anisotropic Material Models and Fluid Structure Interaction
Alfio Quarteroni, Simone Deparis, Davide Forti
The simulation of the physiological loading situation of arteries with moderate atherosclerotic plaque may provide additional indicators for medical doctors to estimate if the plaque is likely to rupture and if surgical intervention is required. In particu ...
International Center for Numerical Methods in Engineeering (CIMNE)2014Design and integration of an instrumented knee prosthesis
Total knee arthroplasty is nowadays one of the most important orthopedic surgery. It consists of a procedure in which parts of the knee are replaced by a prosthesis. The largest indication for total knee arthroplasty is osteoarthritis, a knee disease that ...
