A wrist sensor and algorithm to determine instantaneous walking cadence and speed in daily life walking

Kamiar Aminian, Pierre-André Farine, Cyntia Duc, Benedikt Fasel, Martin Savary, Flavien Bardyn, Farzin Dadashi

In daily life, a person’s gait—an important marker for his/her health status—is usually assessed using inertial sensors fixed to lower limbs or trunk. Such sensor locations are not well suited for continuous and long duration measurements. A better locatio ...

Transcellular Pathways in Lymphatic Endothelial Cells Regulate Changes in Solute Transport by Fluid Stress

Melody Swartz, Witold Waldemar Kilarski, Esra Güç, Marco Pisano, Valentina Triacca

Rationale: The transport of interstitial fluid and solutes into lymphatic vessels is important for maintaining interstitial homeostasis and delivering antigens and soluble factors to the lymph node for immune surveillance. Transendothelial transport across ...

Elucidating the role of lymphatic vessels within the tumor microenvironment of breast cancer

Ingrid Maria van Mier

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide, with an estimated 1.7 million newly diagnosed cases in 2012. Despite the many clinical manifestations, metastatic disease is the main cause of death, and is responsible for 90% of all breast cance ...

Interactions between fibroblastic reticular cells and B cells promote mesenteric lymph node lymphangiogenesis

Nicola Harris, Lalit Kumar Dubey, Praneeth Karempudi

Lymphatic growth (lymphangiogenesis) within lymph nodes functions to promote dendritic cell entry and effector lymphocyte egress in response to infection or inflammation. Here we demonstrate a crucial role for lymphotoxin-beta receptor (LT beta R) signalin ...

Iron oxide nanoparticles for diagnosis and therapy of lymph node metastases

Débora Bonvin

This thesis presents the synthesis, coating and characterization of iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) with properties especially designed for the ultimate simultaneous MRI detection and hyperthermia treatment of lymph node metastases, a combination called t ...

Fixed and mobile-bearing total ankle prostheses: Effect on tibial bone strain

Alexandre Terrier, Maïka Réane Guillemin, Xavier Crevoisier, Caroline Sieger Fernandes

Background Total ankle replacement is associated to a high revision rate. To improve implant survival, the potential advantage of prostheses with fixed bearing compared to mobile bearing is unclear. The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis th ...

Lymphatic vessels regulate immune microenvironments in human and murine melanoma

Melody Swartz, Amanda Waite Lund, Manuel Andreas Fankhauser, Maria Anna Sofia Broggi

Lymphatic remodeling in tumor microenvironments correlates with progression and metastasis, and local lymphatic vessels play complex and poorly understood roles in tumor immunity. Tumor lymphangiogenesis is associated with increased immune suppression, yet ...

Medical fluid drainage system

Marco Pisano, Valentina Triacca

A medical fluid drainage system which may be advantageously used to actively absorb excess fluid from an interstitium in a living host and to transport it from an inlet member 1 in a non edematous body part out of an outlet member 4 via pumps (5, 6, 7) bui ...

Full-field measurement of micromotion around a cementless femoral stem using micro-CT imaging and radiopaque markers

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Valérie Hélène Emilie Malfroy Camine, Hannes Andreas Rüdiger

A good primary stability of cementless femoral stems is essential for the long-term success of total hip arthroplasty. Experimental measurement of implant micromotion with linear variable differential transformers is commonly used to assess implant primary ...
