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...

Pathway of transient electronics towards connected biomedical applications.

Nanoscale
Transient electronic devices have shown promising applications in hardware security and medical implants with diagnosing therapeutics capabilities since their inception. Control of the device transience allows the device to "dissolve at will" after i...

An implantable soft robotic ventilator augments inspiration in a pig model of respiratory insufficiency.

Nature biomedical engineering
Severe diaphragm dysfunction can lead to respiratory failure and to the need for permanent mechanical ventilation. Yet permanent tethering to a mechanical ventilator through the mouth or via tracheostomy can hinder a patient's speech, swallowing abil...

Deep learning-based framework for automatic cranial defect reconstruction and implant modeling.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: This article presents a robust, fast, and fully automatic method for personalized cranial defect reconstruction and implant modeling.

Deep learning method for reducing metal artifacts in dental cone-beam CT using supplementary information from intra-oral scan.

Physics in medicine and biology
Recently, dental cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) methods have been improved to significantly reduce radiation dose while maintaining image resolution with minimal equipment cost. In low-dose CBCT environments, metallic inserts such as implants, ...

Programmable Auxeticity in Hydrogel Metamaterials via Shape-Morphing Unit Cells.

Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany)
Mechanical metamaterials recruit unique mechanical behavior that is unavailable in bulk materials from a periodic unit cell structure with a specific geometry. However, such metamaterials can typically not be reconfigured once manufactured. Herein, t...

Autonomous push button-controlled rapid insulin release from a piezoelectrically activated subcutaneous cell implant.

Science advances
Traceless physical cues are desirable for remote control of the in situ production and real-time dosing of biopharmaceuticals in cell-based therapies. However, current optogenetic, magnetogenetic, or electrogenetic devices require sophisticated elect...

[Low-field magnetic resonance imaging : Just less expensive or completely different?].

Der Radiologe
Over the years the development of field strength in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has continued to increase from the low-field systems in the early years (0.2-0.5 T) to 1.5 T to 3 T to 7 T and more. In the last 2 years, there has been a renewed in...

[New clinical applications for low-field magnetic resonance imaging : Technical and physical aspects].

Der Radiologe
BACKGROUND: Low-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is experiencing a renaissance due to technical innovations. The new-generation devices offer new applications for imaging and a possible solution to increasing cost pressures in the healthcare sy...
