Assessment of shape memory alloy stent deployment in a stenosed arterySpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 1 - Trang 226-231 - 2011
Shijia Zhao, Linxia Gu, Stacey R. Froemming
Shape memory alloy (SMA) stents have been used increasingly for the treatment of complex arterial occlusions. There is an immediate need to quantify the mechanical performance of SMA stents to open occluded arteries. The stent crimping and expanding process was assessed through both numerical modeling and in-vitro studies. The implantation of a SMA stent in curved arteries with eccentric stenosis ...... hiện toàn bộ
Analysis of induced dynamic biceps EMG signal complexity using Markov transition networksSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - - 2024
G. Venugopal, Divya Sasidharan, Ramakrishnan Swaminathan
Surface electromyography (sEMG) is a non-invasive technique to characterize muscle electrical activity. The analysis of sEMG signals under muscle fatigue play a crucial part in the branch of neurorehabilitation, sports medicine, biomechanics, and monitoring neuromuscular pathologies. In this work, a method to transform sEMG signals to complex networks under muscle fatigue conditions using Markov t...... hiện toàn bộ

Functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) based Brain Computer Interface (BCI) systems have grown in popularity in the last years, and has shown itself as a useful tool in developing portable and convenient BCI systems. The purpose of this review paper is to highlight the recent developments, applications, and challenges that research groups have achieved in the field of fNIRS-BCI. We will sho...... hiện toàn bộ
Margetuximab conjugated-PEG-PAMAM G4 nano-complex: a smart nano-device for suppression of breast cancerSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 12 - Trang 317-329 - 2022
Yasaman Khakinahad, Saeedeh Sohrabi, Shokufeh Razi, Asghar Narmani, Sepideh Khaleghi, Mahboubeh Asadiyun, Hanieh Jafari, Javad Mohammadnejad
Breast cancer due to its high incidence and mortality is the second leading cause of death among females. On the other hand, nanoparticle-based drug delivery is one of the most promising approaches in cancer therapy, nowadays. Hence, margetuximab- and polyethylene glycol-conjugated PAMAM G4 dendrimers were efficiently synthesized for targeted delivery of quercetin (therapeutic agent) to MDA-MB-231...... hiện toàn bộ
Strategies for minimizing glial response to chronically-implanted microelectrode arrays for neural interfaceSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 4 - Trang 120-128 - 2014
Yena Lee, Sang Beom Jun
For several decades, the intracortical penetrating microelectrode arrays have been widely employed for the purpose of neural recording and stimulation in nervous system. However, the long-term application is limited due to the tissue reaction to the implanted electrode array. The tissue response includes the degeneration of nerve cells as well as the formation of dense glial sheath adjacent the im...... hiện toàn bộ
Adaptive smith predictor controller for total intravenous anesthesia automationSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 9 - Trang 127-144 - 2018

Anesthetic agent propofol needs to be administered at an appropriate rate to prevent hypotension and postoperative adverse reactions. To comprehend more suitable anesthetic drug rate during surgery is a crucial aspect. The main objective of this proposal is to design robust automated control system that work efficiently in most of the patients with smooth BIS and minimum variations of propofol dur...... hiện toàn bộ
