Low-Intensity Electrostimulation Enhances Neuroregeneration and Improves Erectile Function in a Rat Model of Cavernous Nerve Injury
Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Mikaël Nils Sturny
Background: Neurogenic erectile dysfunction (ED) following radical prostatectomy (RP) is a frequent complication often leading to erectile tissue remodeling and permanent ED. Low-intensity electrostimulation (LIES) has been shown to enhance peripheral nerv ...
ELSEVIER SCI LTD2022Nature of Crack Path Instabilities in Thin Sheets Cut by Blunt Objects
Cutting a brittle thin sheet with a blunt object leaves an oscillating crack that seemingly violates the principle of local symmetry for fracture. We experimentally find that at a critical value of a well chosen control parameter the straight propagation i ...
AMER PHYSICAL SOC2020Glenoid bone strain after anatomical total shoulder arthroplasty: In vitro measurements with micro-CT and digital volume correlation
Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Yasmine Boulanaache
Glenoid implant loosening remains a major source of failure and concern after anatomical total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA). It is assumed to be associated with eccentric loading and excessive bone strain, but direct measurement of bone strain after aTSA i ...
2020Comparison 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 ...
AME PUBL CO2020Simultaneous Quantitation of Cationic and Non-ionic Contrast Agents in Articular Cartilage Using Synchrotron MicroCT Imaging
Early diagnosis of acute cartilage injuries enables monitoring of disease progression and improved treatment option planning to prevent post-traumatic osteoarthritis. In contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT), the changes in cationic agent diffusion ...
2019Soft microfabricated neural implants: a path towards translational implementation
Neuroprosthetics are a class of medical devices that aim to restore lost or impaired functions of the nervous system by electrical stimulation or recording of neural tissue. State of the art neural implants suffer today from a mechanical mismatch compared ...
EPFL2019HealthSit: Designing Posture-Based Interaction to Promote Exercise during Fitness Breaks
Pearl Pu Faltings, Yu Chen, Yuan Lu
This research was motivated by a desire to help office workers change their sedentary behavior because a prolonged sedentary posture increases the risks of developing musculoskeletal injuries and chronic diseases, thus threatening their physical and psycho ...
TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC2019Standing Height as a Prevention Measure for Overuse Injuries of the Back in Alpine Ski Racing: A Kinematic and Kinetic Study of Giant Slalom
Kamiar Aminian, Benedikt Fasel
Background: In alpine ski racing, typical loading patterns of the back include a combined occurrence of spinal bending, torsion, and high peak loads. These factors are known to be associated with high spinal disc loading and have been suggested to be attri ...
2018Brain-controlled modulation of spinal circuits improves recovery from spinal cord injury
Silvestro Micera, Grégoire Courtine, Marco Bonizzato, Polina Shkorbatova, Natalia Pavlova, Galyna Pidpruzhnykova
The delivery of brain-controlled neuromodulation therapies during motor rehabilitation may augment recovery from neurological disorders. To test this hypothesis, we conceived a brain-controlled neuromodulation therapy that combines the technical and practi ...
Nature Publishing Group2018Cortico–reticulo–spinal circuit reorganization enables functional recovery after severe spinal cord contusion
Grégoire Courtine, Bernard Schneider, Quentin Barraud, Léonie Asboth, Mark Andrew Anderson, Lucia Florinda Friedli Wittler, Laetitia Danielle Philippine Baud, Polina Shkorbatova, Janine Beauparlant, Galyna Pidpruzhnykova, Selin Anil, Julie Kreider, Cristina Martinez Gonzalez, Elodie Rey
Severe spinal cord contusions interrupt nearly all brain projections to lumbar circuits producing leg movement. Failure of these projections to reorganize leads to permanent paralysis. Here we modeled these injuries in rodents. A severe contusion abolished ...
