To this end, one of the critical vascular analyses involves determining head loss, or pressure drop, in arteries, as it provides substantial insight into vascular health and efficiency. Thus, this work presents an assessment of head loss in the human femoral artery, one of the major blood vessels in the lower body, comprising the common femoral artery, the deep femoral artery, and the superficial femoral artery, which extends to the popliteal artery. Our study modeled this arterial system as a network of elastic circular pipes and, using the proposed theories, calculated the pressurized diameters and head loss in each segment, accounting for minor losses arising from vessel curvature and geometric variations within the arterial network. Because the proposed theories rely on certain assumptions, the validity of the theoretical predictions was assessed by simulating a two-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of an idealized human femoral artery using available clinical data for the model parameters. Pressurized diameters were computed using both the CFD model and the theoretical formulation, and the results were statistically compared. The results showed a statistically significant difference between the two, underscoring the importance of accurately capturing the elastic behavior of the arterial wall. Accordingly, a modified pressurized diameter formulation incorporating a segment-specific correction factor was proposed. Findings showed that this correction factor is comparatively high for the deep femoral arterial segment.</p>","PeriodicalId":8896,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical Physics & Engineering Express","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147760818","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, strict intraoperative radiation dose constraints produce low-dose x-ray images with severe blur and reduced contrast, significantly degrading registration accuracy and limiting precise image-guided spinal interventions. We propose the Contour Encoding Regressor (CER), a novel end-to-end CNN framework that extracts highly discriminative features directly from binary contour masks of intraoperative x-rays without any restrictions on contour length, shape, or morphology. These contour features are efficiently encoded by a dedicated module and seamlessly fused into the regression pipeline to improve robustness against image degradation. To further enhance pose estimation, CER employs a dual-branch architecture that explicitly decouples rotational and translational parameters, thereby reducing mutual interference and improving overall accuracy. In addition, a self-supervised fine-tuning strategy with a tailored multi-component loss function is introduced to adapt the model to blurred low-dose conditions and minimize residual errors. On low-dose x-ray images, CER achieves a mean target registration error of 1.39 mm-a clinically acceptable threshold-while outperforming state-of-the-art methods in accuracy and enabling real-time performance (0.03-0.06 s per frame on clinically accessible GPUs).

In many PA skin models, the epidermis is treated as a single effective layer to reduce anatomical complexity and computational cost; however, the impact of explicit BL resolution on time-domain PA waveforms remains unclear. This study aims at determining whether the BL must be modeled as an independent ultrathin absorber for quantitatively reliable time-domain PA analysis and reduced-layer representations of human skin. Because skin is a strongly scattering stratified medium, optical transport is diffusion-dominated. To address this question, a coupled optical-thermal-acoustic semi-analytical framework is applied to a physiologically representative nine-layer skin model and to reduced configurations with and without an explicitly resolved BL. Under excitation at a visible wavelength (λe=532 nm), increasing BL absorption raises the peak PA pressure by more than a factor of three, demonstrating the strong sensitivity of the PA amplitude to this localized source. Variations in BL thickness modify the amplitude and temporal-spectral characteristics of the PA waveform. Reduced models that preserve the BL reproduce the full-model response, whereas merging the BL into the epidermis leads to attenuation and temporal broadening due to source delocalization. These results show that preserving the spatial localization of the dominant absorber, rather than the anatomical layer count itself, is the governing physical criterion for model reduction and is essential for physically consistent time-domain PA analysis and inverse reconstruction in layered biological tissues.</p>","PeriodicalId":8896,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical Physics & Engineering Express","volume":"12 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147810386","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 early onset of muscle fatigue remains a major drawback, limiting its widespread clinical adoption. It is hypothesized that the high frequencies used in FES may be the primary factor determining muscle fatigue onset. Yet few studies have assessed the dependence of muscle fatigue on stimulation frequency. In particular, there is a need for a systematic evaluation across a continuous range of frequencies. Muscle fatigue dependence on stimulation frequency was assessed in anesthetized sheep, with the aim of modeling human musculature with physiological fidelity in the absence of potentially interfering reflexes. Following surgical muscle exposure, symmetrical 250 + 250<i>µ</i>s biphasic pulse trains were delivered via hook wire intramuscular monopolar electrodes to either the tibialis cranialis or the extensor digitorum lateralis muscle, and isometric contraction forces were recorded. Eleven frequencies were assayed from 5 Hz to 100 Hz, with rest periods of over 10 min between trials. The extracted parameters included peak force, time to peak force, time to fatigue (defined as a 25% force drop), and the slope of force decline at fatigue. Additionally, muscle contraction ripple was assessed. Both muscles exhibited increasing fatigue with frequency, revealing three distinct frequency ranges. Fatigue rate was very slow below 15-20 Hz, gradually increased between ∼20-50 Hz, and raised sharply above 50-75 Hz reaching fatigue in a few seconds. Remarkably, fatigue rate only started to increase substantially at 10-20 Hz. Force fusion increased with stimulation frequency, with both muscles showing fused contractions from approximately 12 Hz. The minimal fatigue observed at frequencies corresponding to natural motor unit firing rates suggests that the high frequencies used in FES are a key driver of fatigue.</p>","PeriodicalId":8896,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical Physics & Engineering Express","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147760782","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, the process of labelling MDD remains challenging. As a self-supervised learning method, contrastive learning could address the shortcomings of supervised learning methods, which are unduly reliant on labels in the context of MDD detection. However, existing contrastive learning methods are not specifically designed to characterize the time-frequency distribution of EEG signals, and their capacity to acquire low-semantic data representations is still inadequate for MDD detection tasks. To address the problem of contrastive learning method, we propose a time-frequency fusion and multi-domain cross-loss (TF-MCL) model for MDD detection. TF-MCL generates time-frequency hybrid representations through the use of a fusion mapping head (FMH), which efficiently remaps time-frequency domain information to the fusion domain, and thus can effectively enhance the model's capacity to synthesize timefrequency information. Moreover, by optimizing the multi-domain cross-loss function, the distribution of the representations in the time-frequency domain and the fusion domain is reconstructed, thereby improving the model's capacity to acquire fusion representations.
