An objective skill assessment framework for microsurgical anastomosis based on ALI scores

Aude Billard, Kunpeng Yao, Soheil Gholami, Torstein Ragnar Meling, Anaëlle Olivia Marie Manon

IntroductionThe current assessment and standardization of microsurgical skills are subjective, posing challenges in reliable skill evaluation. We aim to address these limitations by developing a quantitative and objective framework for accurately assessing ...

Single-fraction radiosurgery outcomes for large vestibular schwannomas in the upfront or post-surgical setting: a systematic review and International Stereotactic Radiosurgery Society (ISRS) Practice Guidelines

Constantin Tuleasca

PurposeTo perform a systematic review of literature specific to single-fraction stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for large vestibular schwannomas (VS), maximum diameter >= 2.5 cm and/or classified as Koos Grade IV, and to present consensus recommendations o ...

Development of cyclic peptides that can be administered orally to inhibit disease targets

Christian Heinis, Manuel Leonardo Merz

Cyclic peptides can bind challenging disease targets, but their oral application is hindered by digestion and absorption issues. We developed a versatile method for the synthesis and functional screening of vast numbers of synthetic cyclic peptides and ide ...

Real-time actuation of a dielectric elastomer actuator neuroprosthesis for facial paralysis

Yves Perriard, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Thomas Guillaume Martinez, Stefania Maria Aliki Konstantinidi, Armando Matthieu Walter, Amine Benouhiba

Facial paralysis is a highly burdening condition, resulting in a patient's inability to move his mimic musculature on one or both sides of his face. This condition compromises the patient's communication and facial expressions, and thus dramatically reduce ...

Application of virtual reality in neurosurgery: Patient missing. A systematic review

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin

Virtual reality (VR) technology had its earliest developments in the 1970s in the U.S. Air Force and has since evolved into a budding area of scientific research with many practical medical purposes. VR shows a high potential to benefit to learners and tra ...

A Review: Electrochemical Biosensors for Oral Cancer

Hubert Girault, Ligang Wang, Tzu-En Lin, Sorour Darvishi

Oral cancer poses a serious threat worldwide owing to its soaring case-fatality rate and its metastatic characteristics of spreading to the other parts of the body. Despite the recent breakthroughs in biomedical sciences, the detection of oral cancer at an ...

Bio-engineered collagen-fibrin scaffolds for enhancing urological tissue regeneration

Elif Vardar

Urological tissue engineering offers alternative solutions for congenital and acquired diseases of the urinary tract, which may require reconstructive surgery. It evolves to overcome complications, which might be encountered after surgery. Therefore, tissu ...

Bone regeneration and stem cells

Dominique Pioletti

This invited review covers research areas of central importance for orthopaedic and maxillofacial bone tissue repair, including normal fracture healing and healing problems, biomaterial scaffolds for tissue engineering, mesenchymal and foetal stem cells, e ...

A 1D elastic plastic damage constitutive law for bone tissue

Alain Curnier, Daniel Garcia

Motivated by applications in orthopaedic and maxillo-facial surgery, the mechanical behaviour of cortical bone in cyclic overloads at physiological strain rates is investigated. To this end, a new one-dimensional rate-independent constitutive model for com ...

Rat bladder muscle regeneration induced by local delivery of an engineered insulin-like growth factor 1 in fibrin gels

Lirong Yang

Currently, both congenital abnormalities and developmental problems of the bladder in children, and other dysfunctions in adults, require reconstructive surgery. Such correction involves transplant action of native tissues (such as gastrointestinal segment ...

VR simulation of interventional radiology and microsurgery

Fei Wang

Currently trainees typically learn surgery techniques directly on mocks, animals or cadavers. For safety, cost and ethics reasons, one cannot try all possible strategies to achieve efficient learning. Virtual Reality (VR) based surgery training systems int ...

Solder Doped Polycaprolactone Scaffold Enables Solder Doped Polycaprolactone Scaffold Enables. Reproducible Laser Tissue Soldering

Heinrich Hofmann, Alke Fink, Vianney Bernau

During the last 40 years a focus in research was put on sutureless tissue fusion, to handle the limits of conventional suturing such as vascular wall damage due to the enetrating needle, intraluminal foreign body reactions caused by non-absorbable suture m ...

Development of a Microsurgery Training System

Hannes Bleuler, Etienne Burdet, Fei Wang

Surgeons require significant training to acquire sufficient dexterity and hand-eye coordination to manipulate objects skilfully under the microscope. This paper presents a computer-based real-time simulation of microsurgery as well as the hardware setup. I ...

Clinical pharmacokinetic studies of photofrin by fluorescence spectroscopy in the oral cavity, the esophagus, and the bronchi

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières

Background. To optimize photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photodetection of cancer, two important variables that must be considered are the uptake of the dye and the dye contrast between normal and neoplastic tissue after injection. Methods. To study these va ...
