A simple method of partial inflation of the LMA cuff before insertion in children to allow cuff pressure without adjustment after insertion [PDF]
Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2012 BackgroundThe cuff of the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) is preferred to be partially inflated before insertion in pediatric cases. However, it is not known how much inflation is appropriate.

Patient-Specific Oscillometric Blood Pressure Measurement: Validation for Accuracy and Repeatability
IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine, 2017 Oscillometric devices are widely used for automatic cuff blood pressure (BP) measurement. These devices estimate BP from the oscillometric cuff pressure waveform using population average methods.

A High-Frequency Flexible Ultrasonic Cuff Implant for High-Precision Vagus Nerve Ultrasound Neuromodulation [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 In the emerging research field of bioelectronic medicine, it has been indicated that neuromodulation of the Vagus Nerve (VN) has the potential to treat various conditions such as epilepsy, depression, and autoimmune diseases. In order to reduce side effects, as well as to increase the effectiveness of the delivered therapy, subfascicle stimulation ...

A model of electrical impedance tomography on peripheral nerves for a neural-prosthetic control interface [PDF]
Hope, J., Vanholsbeeck, F., McDaid, A., A model of electrical
impedance tomography implemented in nerve-cuff for neural-prosthetics
control. Physiological Measurement, 2018, 2017 Objective: A model is presented to evaluate the viability of using electrical impedance tomography (EIT) with a nerve cuff to record neural activity in peripheral nerves. Approach: Established modelling approaches in neural-EIT are expanded on to be used, for the first time, on myelinated fibres which are abundant in mammalian peripheral nerves and ...

Delaminated Rotator Cuff Tear: Concurrent Concept and Treatment [PDF]
Clinics in Shoulder and Elbow, 2019 Delaminated rotator cuff tear pertains to the horizontal split of the tendon substance. As reported previously, the presence of a delaminated tear and incidence of delaminated rotator cuff tear ranges from 38% to 92%.

Influence of Rotator Cuff Integrity on Loading and Kinematics Before and After Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty (RSA) has become a very common procedure for shoulder joint replacement, even for scenarios where an anatomical reconstruction would traditionally be used. In this study, we investigate joint reaction forces and scapular kinematics for rotator cuff tears of different tendons with and without a reverse prosthesis. Available

Nonlinear Cuff-less Blood Pressure Estimation of Healthy Subjects Using Pulse Transit Time and Arrival Time [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement, 66(12),
pp.3299-3308, December 2017, 2018 This paper presents a novel blood pressure (BP) estimation method based on pulse transit time (PTT) and pulse arrival time (PAT) to estimate the systolic BP (SBP) and the diastolic BP (DBP). A data acquisition hardware is designed for high-resolution sampling of phonocardiogram (PCG), photoplethysmogram, and electrocardiogram (ECG). PCG and ECG perform
