Single exponential decay waveform; a synergistic combination of electroporation and electrolysis (E2) for tissue ablation. [PDF]
BackgroundElectrolytic ablation and electroporation based ablation are minimally invasive, non-thermal surgical technologies that employ electrical currents and electric fields to ablate undesirable cells in a volume of tissue.

Donepezil: A cause of inadequate muscle relaxation and delayed neuromuscular recovery
A 74-year-old female with diabetes mellitus type II and Alzheimer′s disease, taking donepezil for 4 months was operated for right modified radical mastectomy under general anesthesia. During the procedure a higher dose of non-depolarizing muscle relaxant

Interactive Modelling of Volumetric Musculoskeletal Anatomy [PDF]
We present a new approach for modelling musculoskeletal anatomy. Unlike previous methods, we do not model individual muscle shapes as geometric primitives (polygonal meshes, NURBS etc.). Instead, we adopt a volumetric segmentation approach where every point in our volume is assigned to a muscle, fat, or bone tissue.

Multi-Frequency Impedance Myography: The PhaseX Effect [PDF]
Muscle contraction is often detected via EMG in prosthetics. However, signal disturbances due to electrode motions can lead to misinterpretations. Therefore, alternative measurement approaches are desired to increase the reliability of the results. In this work, a novel approach based on impedance myography is proposed.

Investigating the Correlation between Force Output, Strains, and Pressure for Active Skeletal Muscle Contractions [PDF]
Experimental observations suggest that the force output of the skeletal muscle tissue can be correlated to the intra-muscular pressure generated by the muscle belly. However, pressure often proves difficult to measure through in-vivo tests. Simulations on the other hand, offer a tool to model muscle contractions and analyze the relationship between ...
