The general method for marker-free navigation has four steps: 1) parallel image acquisition by a stereo-vision camera, 2) automatic identification of 2d point pairs (landmark pairs) in a left and a right image, 3) calculation of related 3d points in the joint camera coordinate system and 4) matching of 3d points generated to a preoperative 3d model (i.e., CT data based). To identify and compare landmarks in the acquired stereo images, well-known algorithms for landmark detection, description and matching were compared within the developed approach. Finally, the BRISK algorithm (Leutenegger S, Chli M, Siegwart RY. BRISK: Binary Robust invariant scalable keypoints. Proceedings of the IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision; 2011: 2548-2555) was used. The proposed method was implemented in MATLAB® and validated in vitro with one artificial mandible. The accuracy evaluation of the camera positions calculated resulted in an average deviation error of 1.45 mm ± 0.76 mm to the real camera displacement. This value was calculated using only stereo images with over 100 reconstructed landmark pairs each. This provides the basis for marker-free navigation.","PeriodicalId":8900,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical Engineering / Biomedizinische Technik","volume":"67 5","pages":"411-417"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40479492","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we investigate the impact of using shorter epochs with various PSG input signals for training and testing a Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) neural network. An LSTM model is evaluated on the provided 30 s epoch sleep stage labels from a publicly available dataset, as well as on 10 s subdivisions. Additionally, three independent scorers re-labeled a subset of the dataset on shorter time windows. The automatic sleep scoring experiments were repeated on the re-annotated subset.The highest performance is achieved on features extracted from 30 s epochs of a single channel frontal EEG. The resulting accuracy, precision and recall were of 92.22%, 67.58% and 66.00% respectively. When using a shorter epoch as input, the performance decreased by approximately 20%. Re-annotating a subset of the dataset on shorter time epochs did not improve the results and further altered the sleep stage detection performance. Our results show that our feature-based LSTM classification algorithm performs better on 30 s PSG epochs when compared to 10 s epochs used as input. Future work could be oriented to determining whether varying the epoch size improves classification outcomes for different types of classification algorithms.","PeriodicalId":8900,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical Engineering / Biomedizinische Technik","volume":"53 1","pages":"267 - 281"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87029110","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result, early detection is crucial for community health and the future of the globe in order to take proper safeguards and have a less arduous treatment procedure. Recent research has begun to focus on the motor system deficits caused by PD. Because practically most of the PD patients suffer from voice abnormalities, researchers working on automated diagnostic systems investigate vocal impairments. In this paper, we undertake extensive experiments with features extracted from voice signals. We propose a layer Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) based diagnosis for PD. To prove the efficiency of the model, different network models are compared. To the best of our knowledge, several neural network topologies, namely RNN, Cascade Forward Neural Networks (CFNN), and Feed Forward Neural Networks (FFNN), are used and compared for voice-based PD detection for the first time. In addition, the impacts of data normalization and feature selection (FS) are thoroughly examined. The findings reveal that normalization increases classifier performance and Laplacian-based FS outperforms. The proposed RNN model with 300 voice features achieves 99.74% accuracy.","PeriodicalId":8900,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical Engineering / Biomedizinische Technik","volume":"12 1","pages":"249 - 266"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75749149","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sbaa","doi":"10.1515/bmt-2022-0006","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1515/bmt-2022-0006","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract Although fetal phonocardiogram (fPCG) signals have become a good indicator for discovered heart disease, they may be contaminated by various noises that reduce the signals quality and the final diagnosis decision. Moreover, the noise may cause the risk of the data to misunderstand the heart signal and to misinterpret it. The main objective of this paper is to effectively remove noise from the fPCG signal to make it clinically feasible. So, we proposed a novel noise reduction method based on Improved Complete Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition with Adaptive Noise (ICEEMDAN), wavelet threshold and Crow Search Algorithm (CSA). This noise reduction method, named ICEEMDAN-DWT-CSA, has three major advantages. They were, (i) A better suppress of mode mixing and a minimized number of IMFs, (ii) A choice of wavelet corresponding to the study signal proven by the literature and (iii) Selection of the optimal threshold value. Firstly, the noisy fPCG signal is decomposed into Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs) by the (ICEEMDAN). Each noisy IMFs were decomposed by the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). Then, the optimal threshold value using the (CSA) technique is selected and the thresholding function is carried out in the detail’s coefficients. Secondly, each denoised (IMFs) is reconstructed by applying the Inverse Discrete Wavelet Transform (IDWT). Finally, all these denoised (IMFs) are combined to get the denoised fPCG signal. The performance of the proposed method has been evaluated by Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR), Mean Square Error (MSE) and the Correlation Coefficient (COR). The experiment gave a better result than some standard methods.","PeriodicalId":8900,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical Engineering / Biomedizinische Technik","volume":"353 1","pages":"237 - 247"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80079336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This material presents a large surface area-to-volume ratio, which promotes adequate interaction with biological tissues. However, its strength is limited due to the lack of cohesion between the fibers. The goal of the present work was to investigate if a non-woven substrate can be reinforced by embroidery stitching towards strength increase. Non-woven samples were produced from both melt-blowing and electro-spinning techniques, reinforced with a stitching yarn and tested regarding several performances: ultimate tensile strength, burst strength and strength loss after fatigue stress. Several stitching parameters were considered: distance between stitches, number of stitch lines (1, 2 or 3) and line geometry (horizontal H, vertical L, cross X). The performance values obtained after reinforcement were compared with values obtained for control samples. Results bring out that reinforcement can increase the strength by up to 50% for a melt-blown mat and by up to 100% for an electro-spun mat with an X reinforcement pattern. However, after cyclic loading, the reinforcement yarn tends to degrade the ES mat in particular. Moreover, increasing the number of stitches tends to fragilize the mats.","PeriodicalId":8900,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical Engineering / Biomedizinische Technik","volume":"68 1","pages":"317 - 330"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89365592","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The principal stresses (bone tissues-Pmax and Pmin) and von Mises equivalent stresses (implant and prosthetic structures) were analyzed. In all models, the highest Pmax stress values were calculated under posterior bilateral loading in cortical bone. The highest von Mises stress levels occured in the posterior implants under posterior bilateral load (260.33 and 219.50 MPa) in the ZL-17 and ZL-30 models, respectively. Under both loads, higher stress levels in prosthetic structures were shown in the ZLS models compared with ZL models.

This simulation study investigates the impact of varying positions, frequencies, and antenna types of the embedded WiFi or Bluetooth modules on different tissue types in the human head. The absorption of electromagnetic energy causes the main impact on the tissue in the head. This physical process is best described by the specific absorption rate SAR. To investigate the effects of position, frequency, and antenna type on the simulated SAR values multiple simulations have been carried out considering real-world applications of smart glasses. The results show that the type of antenna has little effect on the SAR values of the different tissues. The maximum regulated output powers explain the frequencies’ impact on the exposure. According to our findings, the greatest influence on the SAR values can be attributed to the placement of the antenna. Finally, our study reveals that positioning the antenna at the front side of the head is optimal for most tissues because of its maximal distance to the head tissues.","PeriodicalId":8900,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical Engineering / Biomedizinische Technik","volume":"151 1","pages":"219 - 226"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77239888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
