Adaptation and Optimization of an Intraneural Electrode to Interface with the Cervical Vagus Nerve

Silvestro Micera, Ivo Strauss

The modulation of the cervical vagus nerve (VN) using neural electrodes has shown great potential to treat cardiovascular, inflammatory, intestinal, or respiratory dysfunctions. Intraneural electrodes have shown great potentials for other neuroprosthetic a ...

A combined 32‐channel receive‐loops/8‐channel transmit‐dipoles coil array for whole‐brain MR imaging at 7T

Rolf Gruetter, Özlem Ipek, Jérémie Daniel Clément

Purpose Multichannel receive arrays provide high SNR and parallel‐imaging capabilities, while transmit‐only dipole arrays have been shown to achieve a large coverage of the whole‐brain including the cerebellum. The aim of this study was to develop and char ...

Large eddy simulations for blood dynamics in realistic stenotic carotids

Alfio Quarteroni, Christian Vergara

In this paper, we consider large eddy simulations (LES) for human stenotic carotids in presence of atheromasic plaque, a pathological condition where transitional effects to turbulence may occur, with relevant clinical implications such as plaque rupture. ...

Adverse tissue reaction to corrosion at the neck-stem junction after modular primary total hip arthroplasty

Stefano Mischler, Pierre Mettraux

Complications related to the neck-stem junction of modular stems used for total hip arthroplasty (THA) are generating increasing concern. A 74-year-old male had increasing pain and a cutaneous reaction around the scar 1 year after THA with a modular neck-s ...

Gait-dependent integration of neck muscle afferent input

Grégoire Courtine

We investigated the integration of neck muscle afferents during walking and running. Subjects walked or ran straight ahead, with or without an additional mass (20% of body weight). They performed all trials without vibration and with continuous vibration ( ...

2003

Unilateral long-lasting vibration was applied to the sternomastoid muscle to assess the influence of asymmetric neck proprioceptive input on body orientation during stepping-in-place. Blindfolded subjects performed 3 sequences of 3 trials, each lasting 60 ...
