In general, cognitive impairment (CI) is divided into three stages: mild, moderate and severe. Quantification of CI is important for deciding/changing therapy. Attempted in this work is to quantify electroencephalograph (EEG) signal and group it into four classes (controls and three stages of CI). After acquiring resting state EEG signal from the participants, non-local and local synchrony measures are derived from phase amplitude coupling and phase locking value. This totals to 160 features per individual for each task. Two types of classification networks are constructed. The first one is an artificial neural network (ANN) that takes derived features and gives a maximum accuracy of 85.11%. The second network is convolutional neural network (CNN) for which topographical images constructed from EEG features becomes the input dataset. The network is trained with 60% of data and then tested with remaining 40% of data. This process is performed in 5-fold technique, which yields an average accuracy of 94.75% with only 30 numbers of inputs for every individual. The result of the study shows that CNN outperforms ANN with a relatively lesser number of inputs. From this it can be concluded that this method proposes a simple task for acquiring EEG (which can be done by CI subjects) and quantifies CI stages with no overlapping between control and test group, thus making it possible for identifying early symptoms of CI.</p>","PeriodicalId":20666,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part H: Journal of Engineering in Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"358-371"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139747296","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although changes in upper trapezius muscle stiffness have been described for shoulder pain, contradictory findings have been obtained. Also, existing data regarding scapular muscles are, majorly, about trapezius. Myotonometry is a method used to assess stiffness; however, the reliability values of scapular muscle stiffness through this method have not been assessed in shoulder pain conditions. The present study aims to compare scapular muscles’ stiffness (trapezius, serratus anterior, and levator scapulae) between subjects with and without chronic shoulder pain and to evaluate the related test-retest reliability. Twenty-two symptomatic and twenty-two asymptomatic subjects participated in a cross-sectional study. The dynamic muscular stiffness of scapular muscles, at rest and during an isometric contraction, was measured bilaterally with myotonometry, in two moments. The differences in bilateral averaged values between symptomatic and asymptomatic subjects and the effect of the group (group presenting pain in the dominant or non-dominant side, and asymptomatic group) and of the limb (unilateral painful or asymptomatic limb, and bilateral asymptomatic limbs) were investigated. Test-retest intra-rater reliability was determined. An effect of the group was observed at rest, for middle trapezius stiffness, and during contraction, for middle and lower trapezius stiffness. For middle trapezius, increased values were observed in the group presenting pain in non-dominant side comparing to both groups or to group presenting pain in dominant side. The intraclass correlation coefficient, majorly, ranged between 0.775 and 0.989. Participants with pain in the non-dominant side presented an increased middle trapezius’ stiffness.

Newborn infants requiring specialized treatment at neonatal intensive care units often require transportation by road ambulance to specialized care centers, exposing the infants to potentially harmful vibration and noise. A standardized Neonatal Patient Transport System (NPTS) has been deployed in Ontario, Canada, that provides life saving equipment to patients and safe operation for the clinical care staff. However, there is evidence that suggests patients may experience a higher amplitude of vibration at certain frequencies when compared with the vehicle vibration. In a multi-year collaborative project, we seek to create a standardized test procedure to evaluate the levels of vibration and the effectiveness of mitigation strategies. Previous studies have looked at laboratory vibration testing of a transport system or transport incubator and were limited to single degree of freedom excitation, neglecting the combined effects of rotational motion. This study considers laboratory testing of a full vehicle and patient transport system on an MTS Model 320 Tire-Coupled Road Simulator. The simulation of road profiles and discrete events on a tire-coupled road simulator allows for the evaluation of the vibration levels of the transport system and the exploration of mitigation strategies in a controlled setting. The tire-coupled simulator can excite six degrees-of-freedom motion of the transport system for vibration evaluation in three orthogonal directions including the contributions of the three rotational degrees of freedom. The vibration data measured on the transport system during the tire-coupled testing are compared to corresponding road test data to assess the accuracy of the vibration environment replication. Three runs of the same drive file were conducted during the laboratory testing, allowing the identification of anomalies and evaluation of the repeatability. The tire-coupled full vehicle testing revealed a high level of accuracy in re-creating the road sections and synthesized random profiles. The simulation of high amplitude discrete events, such as speed hump traverses, were highly repeatable, yet yielded less accurate results with respect to the peak amplitudes at the patient. The resulting accelerations collected at the input to the manikin (sensor located under the mattress) matched well between the real-world and road simulator. The sensors used during testing included series 3741B uni-axial and series 356A01 tri-axial accelerometers by PCB Piezotronics. These results indicate a tire-coupled road simulator can be used to accurately evaluate vibration levels and assess the benefits of future mitigation strategies in a controlled setting with a high level of repeatability.</p>","PeriodicalId":20666,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part H: Journal of Engineering in Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"170-186"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139546814","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effect of bone plate parameters on fibula fracture healing is studied. The relationship between differences in plate length, thickness and working length, and bone healing performance is focused. The optimal combination form of the bone plate parameters was selected by the orthogonal experimental design and fracture block strain to achieve bone healing maximize the performance. The model results show that the maximum equivalent force of the bone plate was below the material yield limit; the higher mean contact stresses in the bone fragments indicate that the bone plate is prone to higher contact stresses when they are long. The working length of the bone plate has a greater effect on callus healing than the thickness and length of the bone plate. The optimal internal fixation option for distal fibula fractures is achieved when it provides the stability required for internal fixation during bone healing. It ensures lower contact stresses in the fibula as well as maximum Young's modulus during callus healing process.</p>","PeriodicalId":20666,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part H: Journal of Engineering in Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"207-218"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139486161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
