Nonempirical semilocal density functionals for correcting the self-interaction of polaronic states

Through the use of the piecewise-linearity condition of the total energy, we correct the self-interaction for the study of polarons by constructing nonempirical functionals at the semilocal level of theory. We consider two functionals, the gamma DFT and mu ...

Transient Electronics for Smart Biodegradable Medical Implants

Matthieu Jean Michel Rüegg

Bioresorbable implantable medical devices show great potential for applications requiring medical care over well-defined periods of time. Such implants naturally degrade and resorb in the body, which eliminates adverse long-term effects or the need for a s ...

IoT Bio-Electronic Multi-Panel Device for On-line Monitoring of Anaesthesia Delivery

Francesca Stradolini

After a failure of "One-Size-Fits-All" approach on traditional treatment of diseases, the age of multi-faceted personalized medicine came into being for tailoring therapy to get the best response in the highest safety margin. Personalized drug dosage is on ...

Towards 3D facial morphometry : facial image analysis applications in anesthesiology and 3D spectral nonrigid registration

Gabriel Louis Cuendet

In anesthesiology, the detection and anticipation of difficult tracheal intubation is crucial for patient safety. When undergoing general anesthesia, a patient who is unexpectedly difficult to intubate risks potential life-threatening complications with po ...

Cascaded PID controller for anaesthesia delivery

Monia Guidi, Alena Simalatsar

The technologies for continuous measurement of the anaesthetic agents circulating in body fluids are not mature yet, though some preliminary prototypes exist already. We present a control algorithm that based on the real measurement of propofol plasma conc ...

Microstructure informed tractography: pitfalls and open challenges

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Alessandro Daducci, Maxime Descoteaux

One of the major limitations of diffusion MRI tractography is that the fiber tracts recovered by existing algorithms are not truly quantitative. Local techniques for estimating more quantitative features of the tissue microstructure exist, but their combin ...

In Vivo Testing of a Novel Adjustable Glaucoma Drainage Device

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, André Mermoud, Sylvain Roy, Adan Villamarin, Stéphane Bigler

PURPOSE. We report on the in vivo testing of a novel noninvasively adjustable glaucoma drainage device (AGDD), which features an adjustable outflow resistance, and assess the safety and efficiency of this implant. METHODS. Under general anesthesia, the AGD ...

Effects of Isoflurane Anesthesia on Aortic Compliance and Systemic Hemodynamics in Compliant and Noncompliant Aortas

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos

Objectives: To investigate the effect of general anesthesia on aortic compliance and other cardiovascular hemodynamics in chronically instrumented pigs with compliant and noncompliant (stiff) aortas. Design: Experimental study. Setting: University animal l ...

Electrothermal Finite-Element Modeling for Defect Characterization in Thin-Film Silicon Solar Modules

Christophe Ballif, Beat Ruhstaller, Michael Elias Stückelberger, Christian Frédéric Schlumpf, Thomas Andreas Lanz, Mathias Bonmarin

We present and validate a finite-element model for coupled charge and heat transport in monolithically interconnected thin-film solar modules. Using measured current-voltage (I-V) and lock-in thermography (LIT) measurements of amorphous silicon minimodules ...

Anesthesia prevents auditory perceptual learning

Michael Herzog, Alain Farron, Carl Kristoffer Aberg, Elisa Tartaglia

BACKGROUND: An auditory perceptual learning paradigm was used to investigate whether implicit memories are formed during general anesthesia. METHODS: Eighty-seven patients who had an American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status of I-III and were s ...
