Recreated missing leg sensations, connected to the prosthesis sensors, restored functional abilities and promoted its cognitive integration.
According to amputees, sensory feedback is amongst the most important features lacking from commercial prostheses. Although restoration of touch by means implantable neural interfaces has been achieved, these approaches require surgical interventions, and their long-term usability still needs be fully investigated. Here, we developed a non-invasive alternative which maintains some advantages invasive approaches, such as somatotopic restitution scheme. We used transcutaneous electrical nerve...
The aim of the present work was to develop and test a flexible electrotactile stimulation system provide real-time feedback prosthesis user. requirements were accommodate capabilities advanced multi-DOF myoelectric hand prostheses transmit variables (proprioception force) using intuitive coding, with high resolution after minimal training.We developed fully-programmable integrated interface supporting time space distributed over custom designed array electrodes. implements low-level access...
Human motor control relies on a combination of feedback and feedforward strategies. The aim this study was to longitudinally investigate artificial somatosensory in the context grasping with myoelectric prosthesis. Nine amputee subjects performed routine trials, produce four levels force during blocks 60 trials across five days. electrotactile provided second third block using multipad electrode spatial coding. first baseline last validation (open-loop control) evaluated effects long(across...
Aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility electrotactile feedback in closed loop training force control during routine grasping task. The provided using an array electrode and a simple six-level spatial coding, experiment conducted three amputee subjects. psychometric tests confirmed that subjects could perceive interpret with high success rate. performed task comprising 4 blocks 60 trials. In each trial, employed feedforward close hand produce desired (four levels). First...
Long-term exposure to fine particulate matter (≤2.5 µm (PM
Existing national- or continental-scale models of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) exposure have a limited capacity to capture subnational spatial variability in sparsely-populated parts the world where NO2 sources may vary. To test and validate our approach, we developed land-use regression (LUR) model for Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region (NHAR) surrounding areas, small rural province north-western China. Using hourly measurements from 105 continuous monitoring sites 2019, supervised, forward addition,...
Malignant astrocytomas are the most common primary brain tumors in adults and comprise 2% of total number malignant tumors. Glioblastoma multi forme (GBM) highly specific for older adults, while people younger than 14 years, it is extremely rare. GBM slightly more frequent males females relation 1.6. This retrospective study included 183 patients diagnosed with a tumor, surgically treated at Neurosurgery Department KBC Zemun. The group type other tumors, as well greater representation 57...
Abstract Meningiomas are common benign intracranial tumors. However, meningiomas with extracranial extension exceedingly rare lesions only a few reported cases in the literature. We report case of an 86 years old female patient presented enlarging mass over left parietal region for last 3 years. Besides cosmetic, she had no complaints. Head CT scan bone window showed large tumor consisting and part, suggestive meningioma. Patient was operated, both parts were removed. Taking into account...
Abstract The most common causes of upper-limb amputations include traumatic etiology and malignity, followed by peripheral vascular diseases. Prosthetic fitting along with conducting a rehabilitation program provide the greatest possible degree independence to amputees in performing their daily tasks, occupational, recreational work activities. Despite recent advance strategies design control, lack sensory feedback is, according patients, one important characteristics lacked commercial...
Introduction: Spontaneous spinal subdural hematoma as a result of coagulation deficit is very rare and serious condition, with an overall incidence less than 1%. Symptoms can vary according to the level bleed. Prompt recognition presence crucial for treatment. MRI investigation choice diagnosis well planning surgery. The differential includes abscess, lipomatosis, significant discal hernia tumours. There are no definite guidelines management hematomas. In cases neurological deficits, prompt...
BACKGROUND AND AIM Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is a persistent public health concern, with 1.3 million attributable deaths and 10 new cases recorded annually worldwide. Low- middle-income countries account for the greatest proportion of TB globally (>95%), where some highest levels air pollution occur. Epidemiological studies an association, however, have been limited in number. We conducted small-area study Ningxia, low socioeconomic high TB-burden area rural China, using TB-registry data...
