Details of small anatomical landmarks and pathologies, such as changes the microvasculature soft exudates, are critical to accurate disease analysis. However, actual medical images always suffer from limited spatial resolution, due imaging equipment parameters (e.g. scanning time CT images). Recently, machine learning, especially deep learning techniques, have brought revolution image super resolution reconstruction. Motivated by these achievements, in this paper, we propose a novel method...
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of short non-coding RNAs that play crucial role in regulating gene expression across multiple levels. They involved wide range physiological processes, including proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and cell cycle control. In recent years, miRNAs have emerged as pivotal regulatory molecules the development progression tumors. Among these, miR-155 has garnered significant attention due to its high various diseases, particularly urologic malignancies. Since...
Objective To investigate the biodynamics of human-exoskeleton interactions during patient handling tasks using a subject-specific modeling approach. Background Exoskeleton technology holds promise for mitigating musculoskeletal disorders caused by manual and most alarmingly jobs. A deeper, more unified understanding biomechanical effects exoskeleton use calls advanced models complex, dynamic interactions. Methods Twelve sex-balanced healthy participants performed three simulated along with...
In comparison to borehole heat exchangers that rely on forced convection, super-long thermosyphons offer a more efficient approach extracting shallow geothermal energy. This work conducted field tests flexible thermosyphon (SFTS) evaluate its transfer characteristics. The investigated the effects of cooling water temperature and inclination angle condenser start-up characteristics steady-state performance. Based test results, study proposed dynamic modeling method for SFTSs using equivalent...
This study assessed the impact of a passive back-support exoskeleton (Laevo V2.5; Laevo, Netherlands) on trunk and hip postures, lower back muscle activity heart rate during four common patient handling tasks: task 1, lying to sitting; 2, sitting standing; 3, standing 4, bed-to-wheelchair transfer. Eight participants performed these tasks with without exoskeleton. Significant reductions (19%; p < 0.05) in erector spinae were observed 2 4. Moreover, peak bilateral flexion angles decreased by...
Availability of accurate three-dimensional (3D) kinematics lumbar vertebrae is necessary to understand normal and pathological biomechanics the spine. Due technical challenges imaging spine motion in vivo, it has been difficult obtain comprehensive, 3D during dynamic functional tasks. The present study demonstrates a recently developed technique acquire true vertebral kinematics, load-lifting task. uses high-speed stereo-radiography (DSX) system coupled with volumetric model-based bone...
In this paper, we present a new methodology for subject-specific finite element modeling of the tibiofemoral joint based on in vivo computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and dynamic stereo-radiography (DSX) data. We implemented compared two techniques to incorporate skeletal kinematics as boundary conditions: one used MRI-measured nonweight-bearing supine position allowed five degrees freedom (excluding flexion-extension) at response an axially applied force; other...
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury increases the risk of meniscus and articular cartilage damage, but causes are not well understood. Previous in vitro studies were static, required extensive knee dissection, likely altered meniscal contact due to insertion pressure sensing devices.ACL deficiency will lead increased translation lateral deformation medial as alter location, strain, area.Descriptive laboratory study.With minimally invasive techniques, six 1.0-mm tantalum beads implanted...
A maximum-amplitude-based coarse-to-fine algorithm is proposed with two novel ideas highlighted: adopting the maximum value of fractional Fourier amplitude spectrum to measure compactness a signal, and using strategy speed up searching process. The simulation results on synthetic real signals show validity method.
OCCUPATIONAL APPLICATIONSIn recent years, various upper limb exoskeletons have been developed aiming to support industrial workers for a range of tasks and reduce risks work-related musculoskeletal disorders. Most commercially available are passive systems that use compliant elements such as springs or elastic components store release energy assist the user’s motion. In contrast, many active exoskeletons, which typically comprised one more powered actuators provide joint assistance, still in...
This study aimed to establish an ambulatory field-friendly system based on miniaturised wireless flexible sensors for studying the biomechanics of human-exoskeleton interactions. Twelve healthy adults performed symmetric lifting with and without a passive low-back exoskeleton, while their movements were tracked using both sensor conventional motion capture (MoCap) synchronously. Novel algorithms developed convert raw acceleration, gyroscope, biopotential signals from into kinematic dynamic...
