Computational Models of Material Interfaces for the Study of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy [PDF]

Commun. Appl. Math. Comput. Sci. 8 (2013) 159-194, 2012
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is a noninvasive treatment for a variety of musculoskeletal ailments. A shock wave is generated in water and then focused using an acoustic lens or reflector so the energy of the wave is concentrated in a small treatment region where mechanical stimulation enhances healing.

Assisting Clinical Decisions for Scarcely Available Treatment via Disentangled Latent Representation [PDF]

, 2023
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an essential life-supporting modality for COVID-19 patients who are refractory to conventional therapies. However, the proper treatment decision has been the subject of significant debate and it remains controversial about who benefits from this scarcely available and technically complex treatment option ...

Extracorporeal Photopheresis Reduces Fibrotic and Inflammatory Transcriptomic Biological Marker of Chronic Antibody-mediated Kidney Rejection

Transplantation Direct
Background. The benefit of extracorporeal photopheresis on the course of kidney transplant rejection is unknown. The aim of our study was to investigate the variations in transcriptomics on graft biopsies when extracorporeal photopheresis was used to ...

Design and integration of a parallel, soft robotic end-effector for extracorporeal ultrasound [PDF]

IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, vol. 67, no. 8, pp. 2215-2229, Aug. 2020, 2019
Objective: In this work we address limitations in state-of-the-art ultrasound robots by designing and integrating a novel soft robotic system for ultrasound imaging. It employs the inherent qualities of soft fluidic actuators to establish safe, adaptable interaction between ultrasound probe and patient.
