Smell Driven Navigation for Soft Robotic Arms: Artificial Nose and Control

Josephine Anna Eleanor Hughes, Francesco Stella

Elephants and other animals heavily rely on the sense of smell to operate. Soft robots would also benefit from an artificial sense of smell, which could be helpful in typical soft robotic tasks such as search and rescue, pipe inspection, and all the tasks ...

Design and computational optimization of compliance-matching aortic grafts

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Vasiliki Bikia, Georgios Rovas

Introduction: Synthetic vascular grafts have been widely used in clinical practice for aortic replacement surgery. Despite their high rates of surgical success, they remain significantly less compliant than the native aorta, resulting in a phenomenon calle ...

Low-Intensity Electrostimulation Enhances Neuroregeneration and Improves Erectile Function in a Rat Model of Cavernous Nerve Injury

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Rodrigo Araujo Fraga Da Silva, 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 ...

Bioprinting of Cartilaginous Auricular Constructs Utilizing an Enzymatically Crosslinkable Bioink

Nicolas Antoine Vincent Broguiere

Bioprinting of functional tissues could overcome tissue shortages and allow a more rapid response for treatments. However, despite recent progress in bioprinting, and its outstanding ability to position cells and biomaterials in a precise 3D manner, its su ...

Modeling knee osteoarthritis pathophysiology using an integrated joint system (IJS): a systematic review of relationships among cartilage thickness, gait mechanics, and subchondral bone mineral density

Julien Favre, Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli

Objective: To introduce an integrated joint system (IJS) model of joint health and osteoarthritis (OA) pathophysiology through a systematic review of the cross-sectional relationships among three knee properties (cartilage thickness, gait mechanics, and su ...

Knee Implant Loosening Detection: A Vibration Analysis Investigation

Kamiar Aminian, Hossein Rouhani, Arash Arami

Knee implant loosening is mainly caused by the weakness of the prosthesis-bone interface and is the main reason for surgical revisions. However, pre-operative diagnosis is difficult due to lack of accurate tests. In this study, we developed a vibration-bas ...

Interior Tomography Using 1D Generalized Total Variation. Part I: Mathematical Foundation

Michaël Unser, John Paul Ward

Motivated by the interior tomography problem, we propose a method for exact reconstruction of a region of interest of a function from its local Radon transform in any number of dimensions. Our aim is to verify the feasibility of a one-dimensional reconstru ...

Smart instrumentation for determination of ligament stiffness and ligament balance in total knee arthroplasty

Kamiar Aminian, Philippe Renaud, Arnaud Bertsch, Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli, Arash Arami, Willyan Hasenkamp Carreira

Ligament balance is an important and subjective task performed during total knee arthroplasty (TKA) procedure. For this reason, it is desirable to develop instruments to quantitatively assess the soft-tissue balance since excessive imbalance can accelerate ...

Intrinsic viscoelasticity increases temperature in knee cartilage under physiological loading

Dominique Pioletti, Philippe Abdel Sayed, Mohamadreza Nassajian Moghadam

Metabolism of proteoglycans and hyaluronic acid has been shown to be temperature- dependent in cartilage explants, with optimal anabolic effects between 36 1C and 38 1C. At rest, the temperature of human knee has a value of around 33 1C. We aim to show in ...

Design and Psychophysical Evaluation of a Tactile Pulse Display for Teleoperated Artery Palpation

Hannes Bleuler, Philippe Rétornaz, Roger Gassert, Laura Santos Carreras

During traditional open procedures, surgeons directly palpate tissues before dissecting them. In this way, they can avoid the accidental damage of hidden arteries that can lead to fatal hemorrhage. New Minimally Invasive Surgical (MIS) techniques progressi ...

Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor released by synthetic guidance channels promotes facial nerve regeneration in the rat

Patrick Aebischer, Nicolas Bouche

Regeneration of the human facial nerve after lesion is often limited, leading to severe functional impairments, in particular when repair is delayed for several months, when cross-facial nerve grafts have to be performed, or in elderly patients. To improve ...
