Lingual thyroid, a cause of neonatal stridor

, 1993
Stridor implies partial airway obstruction, resulting from intrinsic or extrinsic abnormalities of the upper respiratory tract. In a neonate whose airway is small, soft and easily occluded this may be potentially life threatening. Its immediate diagnosis

A Soft Robotic Fish With a Dielectric Elastomer Actuator Body and Negative Stiffness Spine

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work introduces a bio‐mimetic soft robotic fish driven by fiber‐reinforced dielectric elastomer actuators integrated as its body. By prestretching this active skin against a flexible spine, a negative stiffness system is created, enabling large‐amplitude bending.

Light‐Driven Quadrupedal Walking Biohybrid Robot With Antagonistic Muscle‐Rings and Inclined Joints

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work presents a light‐driven quadrupedal walking biohybrid robot powered by antagonistic muscle‐rings that achieve alternating walking gait. Optical training improved reproducibility of cultured muscle tissues, while caffeine treatment enhanced contractile force.

CONGENITAL LARYNGEAL STRIDOR: DIAGNOSTICS AND TREATMENT

, 2011
Congenital laryngeal stridor is known as a separate disorder for 1,5 centuries. Its diagnostics presents difficulties because of its absense (over prevalence of mild cases) or very expensive and hard-to-reach diagnostic methods.

Push the Limits: Human‐Like Multimodal Extreme Embodied Intelligence for Autonomous Racing

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Autonomous racing tests embodied intelligence under extreme control limits of speed, actuation, and decision‐making. Inspired by human multimodality, we present Apex, an embodied agent deployed on a super‐formula racing car at Yas Marina. Integrating physics‐informed perception, multimodal learning, and tasking, Apex cuts lap times by 15% and achieves ...

Pediatric upper airway obstruction: Inter-observer variability is the road to perdition. Short title: Inconsistent assessments of stridor amongst pediatric practitioners

Journal of critical care, 2013
Purpose To determine the inter-observer variability in the clinical assessment of pediatric upper airway obstruction (UAO). To explore how variability in assessment of UAO may contribute to risk factors and incidence of post-extubation UAO.
