A biomechanical breast model evaluated with respect to MRI data collected in three different positions [PDF]
Background: Mammography is a specific type of breast imaging that uses low-dose X-rays to detect cancer in early stage. During the exam, the women breast is compressed between two plates in order to even out the breast thickness and to spread out the soft tissues. This technique improves exam quality but can be uncomfortable for the patient.

Introduction: As it is not always possible to do Modified Mallampati Test (MMT) in sitting position, this study was designed to test the effect of supine position and phonation on classical MMT and use of such effect in predicting difficult ...

Temporal orders and causal vector for physiological data analysis [PDF]
In addition to the global parameter- and time-series-based approaches, physiological analyses should constitute a local temporal one, particularly when analyzing data within protocol segments. Hence, we introduce the R package implementing the estimation of temporal orders with a causal vector (CV).

Rollback Imaging as a Useful Tool in the Preoperative Evaluation of Osteoporotic Vertebral Fractures
Introduction: When surgery is performed for osteoporotic vertebral fractures, the extent to which kyphosis can be corrected by the intraoperative position of the body is often determined by preoperative radiography in the extension position.

Breast biomecanical modeling for compression optimization in digital breast tomosynthesis [PDF]
Mammography is a specific type of breast imaging that uses low-dose X-rays to detect cancer in early stage. During the exam, the women breast is compressed between two plates until a nearly uniform breast thickness is obtained. This technique improves image quality and reduces dose but can also be the source of discomfort and sometimes pain for the ...

Reproducibility and agreement between three positions for handgrip assessment
The protocol established for taking hand grip dynamometry measurements determines that the patient must be in a sitting position. This protocol cannot be applied due to the patient’s conditions in some cases, such as abdominal surgery, musculoskeletal ...

A Snoring Sound Dataset for Body Position Recognition: Collection, Annotation, and Analysis [PDF]
Obstructive Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea Syndrome (OSAHS) is a chronic breathing disorder caused by a blockage in the upper airways. Snoring is a prominent symptom of OSAHS, and previous studies have attempted to identify the obstruction site of the upper airways by snoring sounds.

Heart Rate Monitoring During Different Lung Volume Phases Using Seismocardiography [PDF]
Seismocardiography (SCG) is a non-invasive method that can be used for cardiac activity monitoring. This paper presents a new electrocardiogram (ECG) independent approach for estimating heart rate (HR) during low and high lung volume (LLV and HLV, respectively) phases using SCG signals.

Measurement and Analysis of Lobar Lung Deformation After a Change of Patient Position During Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery [PDF]
Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is a minimally invasive surgical technique for the diagnosis and treatment of early-stage lung cancer. During VATS, large lung deformation occurs as a result of a change of patient position and a pneumothorax (lung deflation), which hinders the intraoperative localization of pulmonary nodules.
