Robust optimization and stochastic simulation of a centrifugal blood pump under uncertain conditions

The current paper aims to robustly optimize a blood pump by reducing its sensitivity to operational uncertainties. Moreover, the effects of physical and operational uncertainties on the hydrodynamic and hemocompatibility characteristics of the robust optimized centrifugal blood pump are investigated. The baseline design is a centrifugal blood pump inspired by a commercial pump used as a left ventricular assist device. The numerical analysis is performed using the SST

Control of a Marx Generator for Charge and Discharge a Tubular Dielectric Elastomer Actuator

Yves Perriard

Tubular dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs), used for ventricular assist devices (VAD), have shown strong performance in biomedical applications due to their electromechanical properties as actuators, achieving large displacement. Integrating DEAs for medical devices requires a compact and efficient power supply module that can harvest energy for extended periods. Bidirectional DC-DC converters ensure optimal performance in powering DEAs. Therefore, a Solid-State Marx generator is presented, capable of op

RMS: a ML-based system for ICU respiratory monitoring and resource planning

Acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (RF) occurs frequently in critically ill patients and is associated with substantial morbidity, mortality and resource use. We developed a comprehensive machine-learning–based monitoring system to support ICU physicians in managing RF through early detection, continuous monitoring, assessment of extubation readiness, and prediction of extubation failure (EF). In study patients, the model predicted 80% of RF events with 45% precision, identifying 65% of events more than 10

Myocardial infarction

A myocardial infarction (MI), commonly known as a heart attack, occurs when blood flow decreases or stops in one of the coronary arteries of the heart, causing damage to the heart muscle. The most common symptom is chest pain or discomfort which may travel into the shoulder, arm, back, neck or jaw. Often it occurs in the center or left side of the chest and lasts for more than a few minutes. The discomfort may occasionally feel like heartburn. Other symptoms may include shortness of breath, nausea, feeling faint, a cold sweat or feeling tired.

Mitral regurgitation

Mitral regurgitation (MR), also known as mitral insufficiency or mitral incompetence, is a form of valvular heart disease in which the mitral valve is insufficient and does not close properly when the heart pumps out blood. It is the abnormal leaking of blood backwards – regurgitation from the left ventricle, through the mitral valve, into the left atrium, when the left ventricle contracts. Mitral regurgitation is the most common form of valvular heart disease.

Myocarditis

Myocarditis, also known as inflammatory cardiomyopathy, is an acquired cardiomyopathy due to inflammation of the heart muscle. Symptoms can include shortness of breath, chest pain, decreased ability to exercise, and an irregular heartbeat. The duration of problems can vary from hours to months. Complications may include heart failure due to dilated cardiomyopathy or cardiac arrest. Myocarditis is most often due to a viral infection. Other causes include bacterial infections, certain medications, toxins and autoimmune disorders.
