Optimal Implant Sizing Using Machine Learning Is Associated With Increased Range of Motion After Cervical Disk Arthroplasty.

Neurosurgery
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Cervical disk arthroplasty (CDA) offers the advantage of motion preservation in the treatment of focal cervical pathology. At present, implant sizing is performed using subjective tactile feedback and imaging of trial cages...

Monitoring of Remotely Reprogrammable Implantable Loop Recorders With Algorithms to Reduce False-Positive Alerts.

Journal of the American Heart Association
BACKGROUND: Implantable loop recorders (ILRs) are increasingly placed for arrhythmia detection. However, historically, ≈75% of ILR alerts are false positives, requiring significant time and effort for adjudication. The LINQII and LUX-Dx are remotely ...

A macro-micro FE and ANN framework to assess site-specific bone ingrowth around the porous beaded-coated implant: an example with BOX® tibial implant for total ankle replacement.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
The use of mechanoregulatory schemes based on finite element (FE) analysis for the evaluation of bone ingrowth around porous surfaces is a viable approach but requires significant computational time and effort. The aim of this study is to develop a c...

Resource-Efficient Neural Network Architectures for Classifying Nerve Cuff Recordings on Implantable Devices.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
BACKGROUND: Closed-loop functional electrical stimulation can use recorded nerve signals to create implantable systems that make decisions regarding nerve stimulation in real-time. Previous work demonstrated convolutional neural network (CNN) discrim...

Quantitative noninvasive measurement of cerebrospinal fluid flow in shunted hydrocephalus.

Journal of neurosurgery
OBJECTIVE: Standard MRI protocols lack a quantitative sequence that can be used to evaluate shunt-treated patients with a history of hydrocephalus. The objective of this study was to investigate the use of phase-contrast MRI (PC-MRI), a quantitative ...

Robotic self-modulation enhances implantable long-acting drug delivery devices.

Science robotics
Integrating fibrotic capsule sensing with soft robotics may boost long-term performance of implantable drug delivery devices.

3D printed biomedical devices and their applications: A review on state-of-the-art technologies, existing challenges, and future perspectives.

Journal of the mechanical behavior of biomedical materials
3D printing, also known as Additive manufacturing (AM), has emerged as a transformative technology with applications across various industries, including the medical sector. This review paper provides an overview of the current status of AM technolog...

Fastcalculation in LDR brachytherapy using deep learning methods.

Physics in medicine and biology
The Monte Carlo (MC) method provides a complete solution to the tissue heterogeneity effects in low-energy low-dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy. However, long computation times limit the clinical implementation of MC-based treatment planning solutions. ...

Ultra-stretchable and biodegradable elastomers for soft, transient electronics.

Nature communications
As rubber-like elastomers have led to scientific breakthroughs in soft, stretchable characteristics-based wearable, implantable electronic devices or relevant research fields, developments of degradable elastomers with comparable mechanical propertie...

Automatic implant shape design for minimally invasive repair of pectus excavatum using deep learning and shape registration.

Computers in biology and medicine
Minimally invasive repair of pectus excavatum (MIRPE) is an effective method for correcting pectus excavatum (PE), a congenital chest wall deformity characterized by concave depression of the sternum. In MIRPE, a long, thin, curved stainless plate (i...
