Abstract Aims Many portable electrocardiogram (ECG) devices have been developed to monitor patients at home, but the majority of these are single lead and only intended for rhythm disorders. We miniECG, a smartphone-sized device with four dry electrodes capable recording high-quality multi-lead ECG by placing on chest. The aim our study was investigate ability miniECG detect occlusive myocardial infarction (OMI) in chest pain. Methods results Patients presenting acute pain emergency...
Background Electrocardiograms (ECGs) are used by physicians to record, monitor, and diagnose the electrical activity of heart. Recent technological advances have allowed ECG devices move out clinic into home environment. There is a great variety mobile with capabilities be in environments. Objective This scoping review aimed provide comprehensive overview current landscape devices, including technology used, intended clinical use, available evidence. Methods We conducted identify studies...
With the growing shortage of nurses, labor-saving technology has become more important. In health care practice, however, fit with innovations is not easy. The aim this study to analyze development a mobile input device for electronic medical records (MEMR), potentially application supported by that failed meet needs nurses after development. case study, we used an axiomatic design framework as evaluation tool visualize mismatches between customer and parameters MEMR, trace these back...

The fibula osteocutaneous free flap has become the preferred method for most cases of mandibular reconstruction after oncologic surgical ablation. To recreate parabolic form mandible, to be divided up into segments using a closed wedge osteotomy technique. number osteotomies is preferably kept minimum so that segmental periosteal circulation not compromised and also keep operating time minimum. limited creates an angular contour. aim this study was establish degree which overcorrection or...
Performing complex tasks in Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) is demanding due to a disturbed hand-eye co-ordination, the use of non-ergonomic instruments with limited degrees freedom (DOFs) and lack force feedback. Robotic telemanipulatory systems enhance surgical dexterity by providing up 7 DOFs. They allow surgeon operate an ergonomically favorable position more intuitive manipulation instruments. Commercially available robotic systems, however, are very bulky, expensive do not provide any...
Portable, smartphone-sized electrocardiography (ECG) has the potential to reduce time treatment for patients suffering acute cardiac ischemia, thereby lowering morbidity and mortality. In UMC Utrecht, a portable, smartphone-sized, multi-lead precordial ECG recording device (miniECG 1.0, Utrecht) was developed. The purpose of this study investigate ability miniECG capture ischemic changes in porcine coronary occlusion model. 8 animals, antero-septal myocardial infarction induced by 75-minute...
During minimally invasive procedures, an assistant controls the camera and often a laparoscopic grasper. Ideally, surgeon should be able to manipulate instruments because indirect way of control complicates surgeon's observation actions disturbs eye-hand coordination. Reported replacements for are active positioners, "robots," such as Aesop EndoAssist. Because positioning is static task, Academic Medical Center has developed passive instrument (PASSIST) allow solo surgery.The PASSIST was...
Laparoscopy has important consequences for the functioning of surgeon, affecting both his/her perception and manipulation capabilities. To be able to judge aspects laparoscopic instruments, a thorough insight into surgeon is needed, realistic model operation process should starting point every new design. In addition, it efficient use observational methods gain most limitations encountered in clinical practice effect an alternative achieve simplification procedure, innovative unconventional...
Performing complex tasks such as vascular anastomosis in minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is demanding due to a disturbed hand-eye co-ordination, the application of non-ergonomic instruments with limited number degrees freedom (DOFs) and lack three-dimensional perception. Robotic tele-manipulatory systems enhance surgical dexterity by providing up seven DOFs. They allow surgeon operate an ergonomically favourable position more intuitive manipulation instruments. systems, however, are very...
Existing laparoscopic instrument holders do not seem to sufficiently fulfil the needs of surgeons performing minimally invasive surgery (MIS) in several respects. Therefore, we developed and tested a novel positioner close cooperation between engineers.Design requirements were established by attending interventions, interviews involving during design cycle evaluation early mock-ups prototypes.Two concepts, based on scissor- deflectable ball principle, elaborated evaluated yielding simple,...
'Robotics' indicates the master-slave systems, which are currently applied to minimally invasive surgery and sometimes claimed use for teleoperation. These systems characterized by electromechanical tools providing a wrist function within body, with minimal access 8-15 mm cannulas. Opposite conventional surgery, controlling movements of master translated tip tool without mirroring variable scaling improving hand-eye coordination considerably. Only visual feedback an (stereo) endoscope is...
This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of a mechanical minimally invasive manipulator for endoscopic surgery. In contrast currently available motorized master-slave manipulators, this consists two purely mechanical, hand-controlled arms with joints that allow seven degrees freedom (DOF).For study, 30 medical students performed four different tasks in pelvic trainer box using either conventional needleholders or set manipulators. The exercise consisted tasks: repositioning...
Purpose The evaluation of a construction that allows the exchange circular and unilateral external fixators on same fixation pins to bone in outpatient circumstances during lengthening alignment procedures. Methods Nine children were treated with this concept. After alignment, exchanged for clinic hold position bony parts consolidation phase. Results decrease time needed use fixator treatment was considered be an improvement comfort. Conclusions concept using both combines advantages...
