A systematic review of the evidence for single stage and two stage revision of infected knee replacement [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND: Periprosthetic infection about the knee is a devastating complication that may affect between 1% and 5% of knee replacement. With over 79 000 knee replacements being implanted each year in the UK, periprosthetic infection (PJI) is set to ...

Using Intermittent Synchronization to Compensate for Rhythmic Body Motion During Autonomous Surgical Cutting and Debridement [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
Anatomical structures are rarely static during a surgical procedure due to breathing, heartbeats, and peristaltic movements. Inspired by observing an expert surgeon, we propose an intermittent synchronization with the extrema of the rhythmic motion (i.e., the lowest velocity windows). We performed 2 experiments: (1) pattern cutting, and (2) debridement.

Ultrasound‐Triggered Nanocomposite “Lever” Hydrogels with a Full Repair System Accelerates Diabetic Foot Ulcer Repair

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Ultrasound (US)‐treated nanocomposite ‘lever’ hydrogels reprogrammed wound reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and promoted wound healing in infected diabetic foot ulcers. Abstract Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a complex mixture of neuropathy, peripheral arterial disease, and infection, where excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) exacerbates ...

Epithelial ingrowth following laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK): prevalence, risk factors, management and visual outcomes [PDF]

, 2018
The number of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) procedures is continuing to rise. Since its first application for correcting simple refractive errors over 25 years ago, the role of LASIK has extended to treat other conditions, including ...

On The Effect of Vibration on Shape Sensing of Continuum Manipulators Using Fiber Bragg Gratings [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) has shown great potential in shape and force sensing of continuum manipulators (CM) and biopsy needles. In the recent years, many researchers have studied different manufacturing and modeling techniques of FBG-based force and shape sensors for medical applications.

Bacterial Capture‐Killing Capsules with Remodeling Bone Immune Microenvironment for the Effective Treatment of Osteomyelitis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The PC‐O@TOB capsules are designed to exhibit bactericidal effects, regulate the bone immune microenvironment by promoting M2 macrophage polarization, eliminate excessive ROS, and enhance bone regeneration, providing a novel multi‐dimensional approach for the treatment of osteomyelitis.

Fast and Reliable Autonomous Surgical Debridement with Cable-Driven Robots Using a Two-Phase Calibration Procedure [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
Automating precision subtasks such as debridement (removing dead or diseased tissue fragments) with Robotic Surgical Assistants (RSAs) such as the da Vinci Research Kit (dVRK) is challenging due to inherent non-linearities in cable-driven systems. We propose and evaluate a novel two-phase coarse-to-fine calibration method. In Phase I (coarse), we place

Healing rates in diabetes-related foot ulcers using low frequency ultrasonic debridement versus non-surgical sharps debridement: a randomised controlled trial

BMC Research Notes, 2018
Current clinical practice varies around debridement techniques used to promote healing of diabetes-related foot ulcers. This randomised controlled study will compare healing rates for diabetes-related foot ulcers treated with low frequency ultrasonic ...

Kinsenoside‐Loaded Microneedle Accelerates Diabetic Wound Healing by Reprogramming Macrophage Metabolism via Inhibiting IRE1α/XBP1 Signaling Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Gut metabolite trimethylamine N‐oxide accumulates in the diabetic wound area to amplify macrophage inflammation via enhancing glycolysis activities. Kinsenoside induces macrophage repolarization from M1 to M2 phenotype through inhibiting IRE1α/XBP1 pathway, followed by HIF‐1α‐glycolysis axis repression and mitophagy‐oxidative phosphorylation axis ...

Enterococcal periprosthetic joint infection: clinical and microbiological findings from an 8-year retrospective cohort study [PDF]

, 2019
BACKGROUND: Treatment of enterococcal periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) is challenging due to non-standardized management strategies and lack of biofilm-active antibiotics. The optimal surgical and antimicrobial therapy are unknown.
