Piezoactuated NID has shown its advantages in robotic-assisted LP with high precision and compact structure. Soft control of the NID is important for insertion safety; however, for stick-slip piezo-actuated NID, there are few studies due to the complex mechanism of stick-slip motion. Here, a modeling and admittance control method for a proposed stick-slip piezoactuated NID is proposed for safe puncture of the spinal membrane. To analytically model the NID, the compliant mechanism (CM) in the NID is reduced to a second-order system. The stick-slip friction and the spinal membrane are modeled based on the LuGre model and the Hunt-Crossley model, respectively. Based on these models, an admittance controller (AC) for the proposed NID is established to realize the precise control of the position and the safety protection against puncture errors. Simulations and preliminary experiments based on a prototype of the NID and a phantom of the spinal membrane were carried out to test the proposed modeling and control method. Results show that the proposed NID with AC has a maximum insertion error of 0.62 mm and the insertion depth decays by 80% when an unexpected force is applied. Therefore, the proposed model and control method have the potential to be used in real LP procedures by further development.","PeriodicalId":506673,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Devices","volume":"37 18","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141816777","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 microcontroller processes the data that are collected from the FSRA using an electronic circuit based on the principle of voltage divider circuits. The multiplexer identifies the pixels of high-pressure points and plots the heat maps using MATLAB. Results: The results of the FSRA mattress use an alternately inflating and deflating pressure channel bed act as an anti-PU bed and compares it with the currently deployed bed. The demonstrated work was validated using the Finite Element Modeling framework. Conclusion: This anti-PU bed is effective in detecting high-pressure points; based on that, chances of PUs in neonates can be prevented. The performance evaluation of the designed and tested anti-PU bed with more accuracy and automatically varies the contact position to reduce the efforts made by the nursing staff.

The approval process is completed in the “in vivo” phase, where testing in living beings happen. Here, preclinical studies are carried out in animals first, followed by clinical studies on patients. A big part of the development fails in this final phase, as this is where the interactions of all influences from the stent environment are investigated.

Furthermore, tests of the acting pressures are carried out using esophageal manometry, a temperature test of the test stand and a test run of the gastric juice. At the end of this publication, the results are evaluated with a six-week test of a Nickel Titanium Naval Ordnance Laboratory stent, which loses much of its mechanical properties and is partially destroyed by the load.

However, the tool channel's dimensional limitations and the restricted internal layout make it challenging to reduce the outside diameter and highly efficient variable stiffness function significantly. As a result, safe insertion into the esophagus and precise operation remains hugely challenging. In this paper, an esophageal sleeve with variable stiffness and internal diameter is developed for endoscopic procedures. The proposed esophageal sleeve adopts specially designed spiral elastic deployable parts that allow for variations in internal diameter. Furthermore, the elastic deployable parts are designed with serrated protrusion structures that can realize rapid transition between rigidity and flexibility under negative pressure. Fundamental experimental results showed that the outer diameter of the proposed esophageal sleeve can expand from 17 mm to 20 mm, providing inner access up to 13 mm for endoscopic instruments. The serrated protrusion structure allows the esophageal sleeve to rapidly transition from a flexible to a rigid state, resulting in a stiffness gain of approximately 5. Phantom experiments validated the effectiveness and usability of the proposed Esophageal sleeve in assisting endoscope insertion, demonstrating its potential clinical value in endoscopic procedures.","PeriodicalId":506673,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Devices","volume":"55 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141716165","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}

In practice, many imaging tools (such as MRI and CT scans) are in general costly and may also expose patients to radiation, leading to potential side effects. Recent studies have demonstrated that ultrasound imaging, which is safe, low-cost, and easy to access, can monitor the drug delivery progress in solid tumors. However, the noisy nature of ultrasound images and the high-level uncertainty of cancer disease progression are still challenging in ultrasound-based tumor treatment monitoring. To overcome these barriers, this work presents a comparative study to explore the potential advantages of the emerging diffusion generative models against the commonly applied state-of-the-art generative models. Namely, the denoising diffusion models (DDMs), against the generative adversarial networks (GAN), and variational autoencoders (VAE), are used for analyzing the ultrasound images through image augmentation. These models are evaluated based on their capacity to augment ultrasound images for exploring the potential variations of tumor treatment monitoring. The results across different cases indicate that the DDIM/KID-IS model leveraged in this work outperforms the other models in the study in terms of similarity, diversity, and predictive accuracy. Therefore, further investigation of such diffusion generative models could be considered as they can potentially serve as a great predictive tool for ultrasound image-enabled tumor treatment monitoring in the future.","PeriodicalId":506673,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Devices","volume":"34 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141688877","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}

In this paper, we present a novel robotic system for LESS with a bendable catheter that allows the catheter centerline to be oriented towards the target tissue over a larger area, thus providing a better initial position for the surgical instruments and enlarging the workspace of the instruments. The diameter of the bendable catheter is 30 mm and the length is 22 mm. The bendable portion of the catheter provides 2 degrees of freedom (DOF) within the body cavity and can be bent up to 45°. The system consists of two continuum instruments with 6 DOF and a 3D endoscope with 5 DOF. System design, kinematic analysis and teleoperation algorithm are introduced in detail.

The number of insertions and fluoroscopies, and operating times were recorded in a retrospective study. Intraoperative radiographs were used to measure the K-wire position relative to the patella in the coronal and sagittal planes to assess accuracy. The least stability occurred when the distance between the K-wires was 1/2 of the patellar width in the coronal plane and close to the patellar anterior surface.

An emerging field of study, known as Perturbation Training, has been shown to reduce injury rates associated with trips and falls in older adults. Treadmills traditionally used for Perturbation Training are large, expensive, and immobile, forcing users to travel long distances to receive care. A portable treadmill would serve a larger portion of the at-risk population than current methods. We developed a portable, low-cost, twin-belt perturbation treadmill capable of high-intensity Perturbation Training. Belt speeds are controlled by a custom mechanical and software interface, allowing operators with no programming experience to control the device. The treadmill can accommodate users up to 118 kg and provides a maximum acceleration and speed of 12 m/s2 and 3.3 m/s, respectively, under full load. The total weight is 180 kg, and the treadmill can be moved like a wheelbarrow, with handles in the back and wheels in the front.
