A Stand-Alone Augmented Reality Intervention for Chronic Pain using Embodied Systolic Stimulation

Sylvain Cardin, Andrea Serino, Robert Leeb, Oliver Alan Kannape, Skander Mensi, Fabien Bourban, Alexis Dorier

Chronic pain presents a tremendous personal, societal, and financial burden. Treatment options are often limited to managing symptoms as opposed to treating the causes, and the consequences of pharmacological treatments can be immensely harmful as evidence ...

A Novel Short-term Event Extraction Algorithm for Biomedical Signals

Jean-Marc Vesin, Sasan Yazdani, Sibylle Fallet

In this paper we propose a fast novel non-linear filtering method named Relative-Energy (Rel-En), for robust short-term event extraction from biomedical signals. We developed an algorithm that extracts short- and long-term energies in a signal and provides ...

The Center of Small Quantum Groups I: The Principal Block in Type A

Anna Lachowska

We develop an elementary algebraic method to compute the center of the principal block of a small quantum group associated with a complex semisimple Lie algebra at a root of unity. The cases of sl(3) and sl(4) are computed explicitly. This allows us to for ...

A Patient-Specific Methodology for Prediction of Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation Onset

David Atienza Alonso, Jean-Marc Vesin, Amir Aminifar, Adrian Luca, Sasan Yazdani, Elisabetta De Giovanni

In spite of the progress in management of Atrial Fibrillation (AF), this arrhythmia is one of the major causes of stroke and heart failure. The progression of this pathology from a silent paroxysmal form (PAF) into a sustained AF can be prevented by predic ...

Adaptive Mathematical Morphology for QRS Fiducial Points Detection in the ECG

Jean-Marc Vesin, Sasan Yazdani

Fixed structure Mathematical Morphology (MM) operators have been used to detect QRS complexes in the ECG. These schemes are limited by the arbitrary setting of threshold values. Our study aims at extracting QRS complex fiducial points using MM with an adap ...

Adaptive frequency tracking of the baseline ECG identifies the site of atrial fibrillation termination by catheter ablation

Jean-Marc Vesin, Andréa Buttu, Jérôme Sébastien Van Zaen, Etienne Pruvot

Multiple organization indices have been used to predict the outcome of stepwise catheter ablation in long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation (AF), however with limited success. Our study aims at developing innovative organization indices from baseline ...

Termination of atrial fibrillation by catheter ablation can be successfully predicted from baseline ECG

Jean-Marc Vesin, Andréa Buttu, Jérôme Sébastien Van Zaen, Etienne Pruvot

Several organization indices have been used to predict the outcome of stepwise catheter ablation (step-CA) in long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation (LS-pAF), however with limited success. Our study aims at developing innovative indices from baseline ...

Termination of atrial fibrillation by catheter ablation can be successfully predicted from baseline ECG

Jean-Marc Vesin, Andréa Buttu, Jérôme Sébastien Van Zaen, Etienne Pruvot

Purpose Multiple organization indices (OIs) have been used to predict the outcome of stepwise catheter ablation (step-CA) in long-standing persistent AF (pers-AF), however with limited success. Our study aims at developing innovative OIs from baseline (BL, ...

Response of an Embedded Block Impacted by High-Velocity Jets

Matteo Paolo Elia Antonio Federspiel

High-velocity plunging jets, issuing from ood release structures of dams, may result in scouring of the rocky riverbed and even endanger the foundation of the dams. Assessment of the scour extent is essential to ensure the safety of the dam and appurtenant ...

Characterization of Atrial Repolarization Alternans and Activation Time Kinetics based on Intracardiac Electrograms

Florian Jousset

Interdisciplinary collaboration between physicians and engineers is now widespread in fundamental and clinical studies, due to the increasing complexity of the physiological problems tackled, and the development of novel measurement devices and data analys ...

Epitaxial growth of quantum rods with high aspect ratio and compositional contrast

The epitaxial growth of quantum rods (QRs) on GaAs was investigated. It was found that GaAs thickness in the GaAs/InAs superlattice used for QR formation plays a key role in improving the QR structural properties. Increasing the GaAs thickness results in b ...

Self-assembly of polypeptide/pi-conjugated polymer/polypeptide triblock copolymers in rod-rod-rod and coll-rod-coil conformations

Mohamad Hojeij, Raffaele Mezzenga

Self-assembly in the bulk of a series of hybrid triblock copolymers formed by a poly(9,9-dihexylfluorene-2,7-diyl) (PHF) middle block and two poly(gamma-benzyl-L-glutamate) (PBLG) end blocks has been studied. Since the alpha-helical secondary structure of ...

Delta-like 4 is the essential, nonredundant ligand for Notch1 during thymic T cell lineage commitment

Freddy Radtke, Ute Koch, Alexandre José Pessanha De Oliveira Caimoto Duarte

Thymic T cell lineage commitment is dependent on Notch1 (N1) receptor-mediated signaling. Although the physiological ligands that interact with N1 expressed on thymic precursors are currently unknown, in vitro culture systems point to Delta-like 1 (DL1) an ...

Analysing the potential of Reveal for monitoring cardiac potentials

Aims The implantable loop recorder (ILR) continuously monitors the heart’s electric activity by means of a subcutaneous bipolar electrogram (Elg). Currently, the relationship between the Elg and the surface electrocardiogram (ECG) has been poorly documente ...
