Sensor-based characterization of daily walking: a new paradigm in pre-frailty...
Abstract Background Frailty is a highly recognized geriatric syndrome resulting in decline in reserve across multiple physiological systems. Impaired physical function is one of... -
Quantitative evaluation of corneal epithelial edema after cataract surgery us...
Abstract Purpose The optical density of the cornea can be evaluated quantitatively by “densitometry” using a rotating Scheimpflug camera. Densitometry allows evaluation of... -
Minification of fundus optical coherence tomographic images in gas-filled eye
Abstract Background Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is being used increasingly to evaluate and manage a variety of retinal diseases, but not much is known about the... -
Evaluation of EMG pattern recognition for upper limb prosthesis control: a ca...
Abstract Background Although electromyogram (EMG) pattern recognition (PR) for multifunctional upper limb prosthesis control has been reported for decades, the clinical benefits... -
Modified bolster dressing with continuous suction improves skin graft surviva...
Abstract Background Skin engraftment of intraoral defects is known to be inconsistent due to mobility of the oral structure, uneven wounds, and accumulation of saliva under the... -
Measurement of plasma norepinephrine and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylglycol: method de...
Abstract Objective Norepinephrine (NE), a sympathetic neurotransmitter, is often measured in plasma as an index of sympathetic activity. To better understand NE dynamics, it is... -
Aberrant activation of NF-κB signaling in mammary epithelium leads to abnorma...
Abstract Background Approximately 1 in 5 women diagnosed with breast cancer are considered to have in situ disease, most often termed ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). Though... -
Randomized controlled trial of robot-assisted gait training with dorsiflexion...
Abstract Background Robot-assisted ankle-foot-orthosis (AFO) can provide immediate powered ankle assistance in post-stroke gait training. Our research team has developed a novel... -
Multiphoton in vivo imaging with a femtosecond semiconductor disk laser
We use an ultrafast diode-pumped semiconductor disk laser (SDL) to demonstrate several applications in multiphoton microscopy. The ultrafast SDL is based on an optically pumped... -
Carotid arterial wall inflammation in peripheral artery disease is augmented ...
Abstract Background Patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) are at increased risk of secondary events, which is exaggerated in the presence of type 2 diabetes mellitus.... -
Evaluation of two collagen conduits and autograft in rabbit sciatic nerve reg...
Abstract Background We compared different surgical techniques for nerve regeneration in a rabbit sciatic nerve gap model using magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging (DTI),... -
Is 1H-MR spectroscopy useful as a diagnostic aid in MSA-C?
Abstract Background Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a sporadic adult-onset neurodegenerative disease with a cerebellar subtype where ataxic symptoms predominate (MSA-C)... -
Tree frog attachment: mechanisms, challenges, and perspectives
Abstract Tree frogs have the remarkable ability to attach to smooth, rough, dry, and wet surfaces using their versatile toe pads. Tree frog attachment involves the secretion of... -
Can Lokomat therapy with children and adolescents be improved? An adaptive cl...
Abstract Background Robot-assisted gait therapy is increasingly being used in pediatric neurorehabilitation to complement conventional physical therapy. The robotic device... -
Optical coherence tomography angiography characteristics of acute retinal art...
Abstract Background To characterize the vascular changes in eyes within the acute phase of retinal arterial occlusion (RAO) by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A)... -
Dynamic light sheet generation and fluorescence imaging behind turbid media
Abstract Background Light sheet microscopy became a popular tool allowing fast imaging with reduced out of focus light. However, when light penetrates turbid media such as... -
Comparison of peri-implant soft tissue and crestal bone status of dental impl...
Abstract Background Clinicoradiographic status of narrow-diameter implants (NDIs) among patients with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is scarce. The aim was to... -
A novel thermal compression device for perioperative warming: a randomized tr...
Abstract Background Inadvertent perioperative hypothermia (IPH) leads to surgical complications and increases length of stay. IPH rates are high with the current standard of... -
Successful implementation of an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protoc...
Abstract Background Infratentorial craniotomy patients have a high incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols have... -
The effect of polymyxin B hemoperfusion on modulation of human leukocyte anti...
Abstract Background Recent randomized trials have not found that polymyxin B hemoperfusion (PMX-HP) improves outcomes for patients with sepsis. However, it remains unclear...
