Lumbar discectomy with annulus fibrosus closure: A retrospective series of 53 consecutive patients

Introduction. - Lumbar disc herniation is most common degenerative alteration of the spine. Whenever surgical therapy proves to be necessary, recurrent disc herniation is most frequent concern. Here, primary aim was to determine the percentage of patients ...

A Software Tool for the Real-Time in Vivo Evaluation of Neural Electrodes' Selectivity

Silvestro Micera, Stanisa Raspopovic, Francesco Maria Petrini, Ivo Strauss, Daniela De Luca

High neural selectivity is an important indicator of how well a neural electrode will perform in a clinical setup. Among other factors, neural selectivity of an electrode strongly depends on its implant location. Today, the neural selectivity is evaluated ...

Clinical implementation of accelerated T-2 mapping: Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging as a biomarker for annular tear and lumbar disc herniation

Tobias Kober, Tom Hilbert, Michael Weber

Objectives This study evaluates GRAPPATINI, an accelerated T-2 mapping sequence combining undersampling and model-based reconstruction to facilitate the clinical implementation of T-2 mapping of the lumbar intervertebral disc. Methods Fifty-eight individua ...

Enhancing analgesic spinal cord stimulation for chronic pain with personalized immersive virtual reality

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Andrea Serino, Giulio Rognini, Marco Solcà, Robin Mange, Pavo Orepic

Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is an approved treatment for truncal and limb neuropathic pain. However, pain relief is often suboptimal and SCS efficacy may reduce over time, requiring sometimes the addition of other pain therapies, stimulator revision, or ...

Soft multimodal neural interfaces for unravelling sensory neurological circuits

Frédéric Pierre Gérald Michoud

Diseases or injuries affecting the nervous system can dramatically disrupt the quality of life. Despite extensive efforts towards treating dysfunctional nervous systems, the pharmacological and electrical approaches generally involved lack the temporal and ...

Cognitive neuroprosthetics for investigating and restoring body perception

Marco Solcà

Our brain constantly receives and integrates a flow of multisensory bodily inputs that are responsible for the way our body is represented and consciously experienced. However, in some pathological conditions, patients might experience altered perceptions ...

Tailoring swelling to control softening mechanisms during cyclic loading of PEG/cellulose hydrogel composites

Dominique Pioletti, Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Baris Çaglar, Azadeh Khoushabi, Céline Samira Wyss

One of the novel approaches for discogenic lower back pain treatment is to permanently replace the core of the intervertebral disc, so-called Nucleus Pulposus, through minimally invasive surgery. Recently, we have proposed Poly(Ethylene Glycol) Dimethacryl ...

Hybrid peripheral-spinal neuroprosthesis for refined motor execution after paralysis

Sophie Marie Marthe Wurth

Spinal cord injury (SCI) disrupts the communication between the brain and the spinal circuits responsible for movement, thereby causing severe motor deficits. Current strategies to restore function to paralyzed limbs have separately investigated electrical ...

Surgical probe and implant development for nucleus pulposus replacements

Andreas Schmocker

Intervertebral disc degeneration is a major reason why we experience low back pain. Intervertebral discs are located in-between the vertebrae of the spine. They act, among other, as shock absorbers by distributing the mechanical load applied to the spine w ...

Spatial and Functional Selectivity of Peripheral Nerve Signal Recording With the Transversal Intrafascicular Multichannel Electrode (TIME)

Silvestro Micera, Stanisa Raspopovic

The selection of suitable peripheral nerve electrodes for biomedical applications implies a trade-off between invasiveness and selectivity. The optimal design should provide the highest selectivity for targeting a large number of nerve fascicles with the l ...
