Until now there exist no suitable methods to measure it objectively. This paper describes an approach for determining leg length and hip rotation center with an optical measurement system for total hip replacement procedures. A software was programmed by the authors for this application implementing also commercial software solutions. The 3D models of the leg before and after the positioning of the hip implant were created with the Microsoft Kinect camera. Two scanned models of the leg were compared with each other. The difference between the point datasets on the screen is colored visualized and shall show the surgeon if the leg has the same length with the implant as before. During a feasibility study 30 leg models in different positions were compared to evaluate the accuracy, performance and usability of the software and the Kinect camera itself. The accuracy study shows that 96.4% of the 3D-model data points are within a range of 0-10mm. It can be recognized that the application of the Microsoft Kinect camera could be a suitable approach for determining leg length and hip rotation center in a cost-efficient and patient-friendly way.","PeriodicalId":384055,"journal":{"name":"2nd Middle East Conference on Biomedical Engineering","volume":"200 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121856375","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}

However, in practical cases, the signal is corrupted by artifacts through the recording process. Thus, denoising of this type of biological signals seems necessary. Several methods have been suggested in recent years for the purpose of ECG denoising; some of which have been based on Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD). In this paper, an EMD-based approach is proposed which uses the time interval between two adjacent zero crossings within an Intrinsic Mode Function (IMF), defined as Instantaneous Half Period (IHP), to distinguish noise components from the main ECG signal. Noisy signal is decomposed into several IMFs through an iterative algorithm, called the Sifting process. IMFs are later tested by a predefined threshold; and waveforms with a comparatively small IHP are filtered using soft-thresholding technique. The method is fully data-driven, with the optimum threshold derived from a criterion called Consecutive Mean Square Error (CMSE). The accuracy of the developed EMD-based approach is tested on real ECG data from the MIT-BIH database and compared with one of the previously suggested EMD-based methods. Both quantitative and qualitative results of the work are presented.","PeriodicalId":384055,"journal":{"name":"2nd Middle East Conference on Biomedical Engineering","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114838168","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}

These devices also have the potential to reduce overhead costs by performing these applications at the point of care. Digital microfluidic devices are one promising discrete flow microfluidic platform that can individually create, manipulate, and mix droplets through the application of asymmetric electric fields. The work presented here suggests that (1) monitoring electrical properties of droplets during specific chemical reactions and (2) supernatant dilution via mechanical filtration can be integrated into digital microfluidic immunoassay devices. Measurement of electrical properties during the bead based chemical reaction between p-nitrophenyl phosphate and particles with bound antibodies conjugated to alkaline phosphatase resulted in measureable difference in capacitance and resistance when compared to the control particles. A single filtration cycle using the mechanical supernatant dilution method demonstrated here reduced the fluorescence intensity in particle laden droplet by approximately 80%.","PeriodicalId":384055,"journal":{"name":"2nd Middle East Conference on Biomedical Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131364148","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}
