A preliminary investigation into the design of pressure cushions and their potential applications for forearm robotic orthoses.

Biomedical engineering online
BACKGROUND: Load cells are often used in rehabilitation robotics to monitor human-robot interaction. While load cells are accurate and suitable for the stationary end-point robots used in rehabilitation hospitals, their cost and inability to conform ...

The Use of Stepper Motor-Controlled Proportional Valve for Fio Calculation in the Ventilator and its Control with Fuzzy Logic.

Journal of medical systems
This article proposes the employment of a proportional valve that can calculate the amount of oxygen in the air to be given to patient in accordance with the amount of FiO which is set from the control menu of the ventilation device. To actualize thi...

Calculation of upper esophageal sphincter restitution time from high resolution manometry data using machine learning.

Physiology & behavior
OBJECTIVE: After swallowing, the upper esophageal sphincter (UES) needs a certain amount of time to return from maximum pressure to the resting condition. Disturbances of sphincter function not only during the swallowing process but also in this phas...

Monitoring of total positive end-expiratory pressure during mechanical ventilation by artificial neural networks.

Journal of clinical monitoring and computing
Ventilation treatment of acute lung injury (ALI) requires the application of positive airway pressure at the end of expiration (PEEP) to avoid lung collapse. However, the total pressure exerted on the alveolar walls (PEEP) is the sum of PEEP and intr...

Current Status and Role of Artificial Intelligence in Anorectal Diseases and Pelvic Floor Disorders.

JSLS : Journal of the Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons
BACKGROUND: Anorectal diseases and pelvic floor disorders are prevalent among the general population. Patients may present with overlapping symptoms, delaying diagnosis, and lowering quality of life. Treating physicians encounter numerous challenges ...

Intraoperative Assessment of Esophagogastric Junction Distensibility During Laparoscopic Heller Myotomy.

Surgical laparoscopy, endoscopy & percutaneous techniques
We sought to characterize the changes in esophagogastric junction (EGJ) distensibility during Heller Myotomy with Dor fundoplication using the EndoFLIP device. Intraoperative distensibility measurements on 14 patients undergoing Heller myotomy with D...

A method to study precision grip control in viscoelastic force fields using a robotic gripper.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
Instrumented objects and multipurpose haptic displays have commonly been used to investigate sensorimotor control of grasping and manipulation. A major limitation of these devices, however, is the extent to which the experimenter can vary the interac...
