On the Maximum Power Density of Implanted Antennas within Simplified Body Phantoms

Anja Skrivervik, Mingxiang Gao, Zvonimir Sipus

With the application requirements of wireless technology in implantable bioelectronics, knowledge of the fundamental limits for implanted antennas becomes critical. In this work, we investigated the variation of maximum power density within simplified body ...

Overcorrected Implants for Total Shoulder Arthroplasty

Yasmine Boulanaache

Glenohumeral osteoarthritis is a degenerative shoulder joint disease, which causes the breakdown of articular cartilage and bone. People affected by this disease suffer from severe pain and eventually reduced mobility and poor life quality. This disease is ...

Navigation Improves the Survival Rate of Mobile-Bearing Total Knee Arthroplasty by Severe Preoperative Coronal Deformity: A Propensity Matched Case-Control Comparative Study

Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli

The primary hypothesis of this study was that the survival rate over 10 years of total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) implanted with a navigation system was superior to that of TKAs implanted with a conventional technique. The secondary hypothesis was that the ...

A Performative Threshold Between Teaching Research and Practice. Atlas Poliphilo as Scaffold

Dieter Dietz, Julien Lafontaine Carboni, Aurélie Dupuis, Darío Negueruela Del Castillo

Hunches allow us to navigate in a trans-scalar world. Without them, teachers, researchers and practitioners would be left aimless. Hunches relate to the embodied and synthetic nature of the knowledge we produce, but also to its unfolding. Instead of denyin ...

Inconsistent relationship between body weight/body mass index prior to total knee arthroplasty and the 12-year survival

Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli

Background: The primary hypothesis was that body weight (BW) and body mass index (BMI) significantly impact the long-term survival rate after implantation of a mobile bearing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). ...

Short-term field study programmes for developing interdisciplinary skills in engineering education

Florence Graezer Bideau, Roland John Tormey, Marc Laperrouza, Johanna Susette Gonçalves Martin, Eric Hoesli

Short-term field study involves groups of students working in an off-campus (sometimes international) setting, and often involves working on realistic, open-ended problems, in interaction with a host community. Such learning experiences are intended to dev ...
