While the advantages for the patient are numerous, surgeons may not always know where they are in this complex environment, and getting used to this technique takes a lot of practice. Method: we present a novel smart trocar device that provides a global positioning system for the laparoscopic instruments that are inserted through the trocars. We augment current trocars with a camera pointing towards the ceiling. At any point in time, and by using computer vision as well as projective geometry, our smart trocar can provide the position of rigid instruments. Results: with our system, we reach one-millimeter accuracy on translation and half a degree on rotation with the only limitation being the velocity of surgeons movements. But this limitation has not been an obstacle in real practice. Conclusion: the trocar can track specific landmarks found on the ceiling of the OR, and, from these, accurately determine its global position in the OR in real time. Applications of this invention are first, assessment and/or training of surgical skills second, once our system is coupled to a real-time three-dimensional simulator of patient anatomy, we envision that our system can automatically provide surgical guidance during the procedure.","PeriodicalId":262603,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 17th International Conference on Bioinformatics and Bioengineering (BIBE)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131908193","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is well known that the quality of ultrasound (US) imaging is very much operator dependent. Our hypothesis is that combining real-time Navier-Stokes simulation with US imaging may reveal inconsistency in mass conservation along the vascular structure that shows when the US acquisition needs to be redone. Augmenting a light wireless US imaging device with robust flow simulation may reveal itself to be a valuable tool to improve the quality of diagnostic with shear stress indicators. In this paper, we describe the main concept of our cyber-physical system to augment an US probe. However robust simulation of Navier-Stokes flow in real time remains a challenging problem. The focus of this paper is on the description and efficiency results of a new parallel domain decomposition algorithm to deliver that level of performance.","PeriodicalId":262603,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 17th International Conference on Bioinformatics and Bioengineering (BIBE)","volume":"101 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122866360","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, characterization of cancer cell lines by themselves is impossible. To address this problem, one-class differential expression (DE) analysis, which can evaluate samples without a reference, is proposed here using tensor decomposition (TD)-based unsupervised feature extraction (FE) extended from recently proposed principal component analysis-based unsupervised FE. This one-class DE analysis was applied to multi-omics datasets of 26 lung adenocarcinoma cell lines. Enrichment analysis of selected genes identified multiple biological terms or concepts including signal recognition particles and nonsense-mediated decay (Reactome, Gene Ontology [GO] biological process), cadherin, poly(A) RNA binding (GO molecular function), eukaryotic translation initiation factors (Reactome), aberrant histone protein expression (Reactome and Human Protein Atlas [HPA]), and 163 transcription factors including E2F, PAX5, ARNT, AHR, and CREB, all of which are known to be related to non-small cell lung cancer and are expected to function cooperatively in lung adenocarcinoma oncogenesis. ,,,, These data not only indicate usefulness of one-class DE analysis using TD-based unsupervised FE but also point to new therapeutic targets in lung adenocarcinoma.","PeriodicalId":262603,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 17th International Conference on Bioinformatics and Bioengineering (BIBE)","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124940029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The arrhythmia detection involves EP stimulation, observing IEGM response on monitor screens, and manual evaluation of IEGM key features. The process is time consuming and requires high level of expertise of Electro physiologists. During an EP stimulation process, a patient may develop Atrial Fibrillation (AF) and it is important for patient to be taken out of the AF before further proceeding with the procedure. It is required to automate the arrhythmia detection process during an EP study for real time monitoring of the patient condition and safety. In our previous work, successful detection of Atrio-Ventricular Reentrant Tachycardia and Atrio-Ventricular Nodal Re-entry Tachycardia was achieved in time domain. This work has been undertaken to automatically detect the AF as well as differentiate it from Atrial Flutter (AFL), Atrial Tachycardia (AT) and Normal Sinus Rhythm (NSR). In proposed work, non parametric technique has been applied on atrial IEGM signal for estimation of Dominant frequency (DF) to find out atrial activation rate during NSR, AT, AFL and AF. A new spectral parameter, Average Power Spectral Ratio (APSR), has been defined for ensuring reliability of DF for AF detection as well as differentiation of AF from other atrial arrhythmias. The proposed system successfully detects and differentiates between NSR, AT, AFL and AF with an accuracy of 99.52%. The proposed system can also be effectively used for additional therapeutic application by implantable cardioverter defibrillators.","PeriodicalId":262603,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 17th International Conference on Bioinformatics and Bioengineering (BIBE)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125168439","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the most effective parameters is the peptide mass window tolerance (w). Most of the current search engines use a constant user-defined value for this parameter. As an alternative option, Comet search engine designers proposed a statistical technique to estimate the best tolerance window for an input spectra file. However, this technique sometimes fails in picking a value, may set the parameter to a value that results in a loss of many correct matches, and is available only for one type of mass; namely ppm. In this paper, we propose to use particle swarm optimization (PSO) to improve the coverage of search engines by picking the optimal value for this influential parameter to maximize PSMs. Our results show that this biologically-inspired algorithm can be utilized to find peptide mass window tolerance values that facilitate Comet to increase peptide spectra matches, resulting in improved peptide identification. We also show experimental evidence that an open search (i.e., wide tolerance window) does not always optimize spectra matching using the current search engines and that narrow tolerance windows improve the coverage of protein search engines.","PeriodicalId":262603,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 17th International Conference on Bioinformatics and Bioengineering (BIBE)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123592306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The DBS pulse shape must also guarantee activation of the desired neurons and optimized energy consumption. In this paper, we apply energy efficient Gaussian DBS signals on different targets in a computational model of the basal ganglia. The results shows that Gaussian signals outperform the widely-used rectangular signals in terms of desynchronization of the GPi neurons and the total energy consumed by the DBS process. Our quantitative results suggest that targeting STN neurons for DBS (STN-DBS) is beneficial for PD patients with axial and cardinal symptoms, while dyskinesia is better treated by GPi-DBS, and improving bradykinesia and akinesia symptoms of PD is mostly achieved by GPe-DBS.","PeriodicalId":262603,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 17th International Conference on Bioinformatics and Bioengineering (BIBE)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114446450","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
