This significant figure is a result of several factors, including increasing life expectancy and an ageing population in developing countries. Alzheimer’s disease, a form of dementia, is a progressive brain disorder that causes memory loss, and behavior and personality changes. People suffering from this disease become increasingly physically and cognitively impaired; they usually need help with all aspects of daily living. While there is currently no cure for dementia, special therapies (e.g., arts and crafts, music therapy) can help people with dementia to live as good a life as possible. We propose to use socially assistive robots as customized/individualized helpers as a complement to humans. This work proposes a new adaptive socially assistive robotic (SAR) system that aims to provide a customized protocol through motivation, encouragement, and companionship for users suffering from cognitive changes related to aging and/or Alzheimer’s disease. The robot aims to maintain/improve the user’s cognitive attention in a cognitive music game setup.","PeriodicalId":407640,"journal":{"name":"2009 Advanced Technologies for Enhanced Quality of Life","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130613676","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}

Materials composition and structure have been analyzed by usual analytical techniques, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). FT-IR and SEM data have shown the formation of Hap onto Cs fibers and Cs acting as glue, bonding the Hap crystals. The Cs-Hap composites porosity, from SEM data analysis, increases by increasing the content of Hap. The biodegradation of materials was tested in buffered lysozyme solution and the degraded polysaccharide was measured; the SEM data, before and after degradation, revealed that composites morphology had not appreciable changed. ‘In vitro’ degradation studies indicate that these composite have slighter degradation rate which is coupled to the degree of N-deacetylation, hydrophilicity and crystallinity. Swelling properties measurements in simulated body fluids have shown that the swelling ratio of composites is decreased when the content of Hap is higher. The obtained results revealed that obtained Cs-Hap composites are promising materials as bone substitute due to their adequate swelling properties and controlled degradation rate.","PeriodicalId":407640,"journal":{"name":"2009 Advanced Technologies for Enhanced Quality of Life","volume":"47 45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124719281","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}

Our work was performed to assess the safety and feasibility of robotically assisted aorto-femoral bypass grafting (AF) as well as to describe the technique. The aortic dissection is performed laparoscopically, with the patient in a modified right lateral position. The proximal anastomosis is completed with the da Vinci™ system by a remote surgeon, positioned at a distance from the patient. The role of the assistant at the patient’s side is especially to expose, to perform haemostasis and to maintain traction on the running sutures performed by the robot. No robot-related complications were noted. Robotically assisted anastomoses are possible by its unique ability to combine conventional laparoscopic surgery with stereoscopic 3D magnification and ultra-precise suturing techniques due to the flexibility of the robotic wristed instruments using different motion scaling of surgeon hand movements. In addition, prior training in laparoscopic aortic surgery is not necessary for surgeons to obtain the level required for suturing. Further clinical trials are needed to explore the clinical potential and value of robotically assisted AF.","PeriodicalId":407640,"journal":{"name":"2009 Advanced Technologies for Enhanced Quality of Life","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132064086","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}

Current biocompatible /biodegradable scaffolds provide load support, template for cell growth, and drug delivery for growth control. It is argued that future scaffolds would benefit from being able to allow/use relative movement among their components, which provides benefits by (1) improving mechanical stress of the cells, proven to stimulate better tissue growth, and (2) offering adaptive characteristics, as a platform that can (a) reconfigure shape (b) modify size to accommodate beneficial organ development, and (c) guide timed growth of complex organ structures, as well as other controlled changes over lifetime; these would become programmable scaffolds or in-vivo reconfigurable scaffolds. In addition, these may be able to sense their milieu/environment (measure and interpret physical and chemical data in-vivo), compute (to determine optimal movements and drug release) and engage in communications (correlating actions with other tissue/organs, interacting with outside the body instrumentation). Thus, future scaffolds can be treated as robots, of a new class, with specific characteristics and challenges such as being made of biodegradable components, and operating within human body; a robotics system perspective is useful in designing, producing and operating such systems.","PeriodicalId":407640,"journal":{"name":"2009 Advanced Technologies for Enhanced Quality of Life","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122076996","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}
