Microwave ablation computational model, on COMSOL Multiphysics 4.0a, was presented in this paper using two types of coaxial antenna, one-slot and two-slot antenna. Computational model was done using electric and thermal properties of healthy breast tissue and tumoral breast tissue. Maximum temperature reached with two-slot coaxial antenna on healthy breast tissue was 110 °C, and on tumoral breast tissue was 141 °C. One-slot coaxial antenna model got maximum temperature of 120 °C on healthy tissue and 137 °C on tumoral tissue. Better results were achieved for two-slot coaxial antenna.

Introduction. This work, explains the process carried out to make a design of mechanism of knee of polycentric type of 4 bars with mechanical actuator for modular prosthesis. The goal, emulate behavior and functioning of the knee for flexion and extension covering the basic needs of people with trans-femoral amputation of external prostheses modular with a low cost of production. Materials and methods. The development of polycentric knee mechanism was conducted in 2 phases. The first was in the design and construction of the mechanism of 4 bars; It was constructed of 6063 aluminum, bronze and stainless steel, corrosion resistant, of machining relatively simple and whose total mass is 690 g; We used software design SolidWorks® and COMSOL Multiphysics® for analysis of efforts, also machines and tools for machining such as conventional lathe and the milling machine. In the second phase re-engineering was applied to the mechanism of 4 bars and built a device with better ergonomics; added a mechanical actuator based on a spring; tested in three patients: one nursing home, one of 16 years, both female and a third with medical history of diabetes, hypertension and heart problems; the two previous phases are described in this document. Results and discussion. At the end of the development of this design we obtain a mechanism for external type polycentric knee, according to the phases of movement, speed, ergonomics, shapes, sizes and weights significant of Mexican patients. Tested for stress analysis using finite element and concluded that the device met with the feature to modify its center of rotation depending on the angle of flexion of the knee and can be considered a polycentric mechanism.

Ventricular late potentials are electrocardiographic components that are attenuated, fragmented and delayed when the ventricular depolarization wave reaches any tissue damaged by a heart attack. These potentials are often studied for use as markers of sudden cardiac death risk. The method most used to predict this risk is the classical time domain. However, this method has a great sensitivity to noise, thereby producing low values in prognosis. We found that using the cross terms of the Wigner distribution, the identification of late potentials becomes less vulnerable to the noise present in the electrocardiogram.
当心室去极化波到达任何因心脏病发作而受损的组织时,心室晚电位是减弱、碎片化和延迟的心电图成分。这些电位常被研究作为心源性猝死风险的标志。预测这种风险最常用的方法是经典时域。然而,该方法对噪声的敏感性较大,因此预后值较低。我们发现,使用维格纳分布的交叉项,晚期电位的识别变得不那么容易受到心电图中存在的噪声的影响。

This research aims at analyzing and documenting ways in which a set (four) of cardiologists specialized in electrophysiology get involved in a series of activities that lead them to transform an electronic instrument in a problem-solving tool. We argue that during the appropriation process of the tool, cardiologists develop cognitive schemas as a result of interacting within a community of practice formed by experts, technicians, nurses, and biomedical engineers that allow them to transform an instrument in a problem solving tool.

Breast cancer is a mortal disease in the world [1]. The research on this matter is necessary for finding methods to help counteract this disease. Microwaves are used to treat cancer (hyperthermia), to create medical images for diagnose cancer, etc. To treatment to induced superficial hyperthermia are used monopole antennas, microstrip antennas, etc. Monopole antennas are used to create medical images. We work to develop two microstrip antennas. One of them is to get medical image and the other to induced superficial hyperthermia. The first step is the simulation of the antennas with COMSOL 4.0, to know their performance. The purpose is to locate the tumor and then expose it to superficial hyperthermia to diminish the tumor.

This paper presents a physiological model of a L4-L5 Functional Vertebral Unit (FVU) based on dimensions extracted from the literature, which is used as a platform for simulation of Nucleus pulposus prostheses prototypes. CAD computational tools and finite element simulations were used for stress analysis considering the anisotropy of the outer annulus fibrosus, and the incompressibility of the inner nucleus pulposus. The mechanical behavior of the FVU is compared to a similar model without nucleus under compressive loads. Numerical results show higher displacements and stress values in the annulus fibrosus that show the importance of the nucleus. The model was modified in order to include tentative design of prosthetic prototypes of the Nucleus pulposus using three different shapes: circular, oval and adjusted to the outer annulus fibrosus geometry, all based on the concept of a Silicone gel-filled prostheses. Finally, the results show that the adjusted design has a better performance at restraining deflections.
本文基于文献中提取的尺寸,建立了L4-L5功能性椎体单元(FVU)的生理模型,并将其作为模拟髓核假体原型的平台。考虑外纤维环的各向异性和内髓核的不可压缩性,采用CAD计算工具和有限元模拟进行应力分析。在压缩载荷作用下,将FVU的力学性能与类似的无核模型进行了比较。数值结果表明,纤维环中有较高的位移和应力值,表明了核的重要性。该模型进行了修改,以包括使用三种不同形状的假体原型的初步设计:圆形,椭圆形和调整到外纤维环的几何形状,所有这些都是基于硅胶填充假体的概念。最后,结果表明,调整后的设计具有更好的抑制偏转性能。

Possible application of spectral analysis techniques on ultrasonic echo-traces improved for studying changes in blood vessel walls 改进了超声回波迹谱分析技术在血管壁变化研究中的应用

Parametric algorithms previously developed by authors for spectral evaluation of biological multi-echo waveforms are adapted and improved here in order to achieve a more elevated frequency resolution. These results permit to undertake viability studies around the possible application of a new auto-regressive spectral technique to estimate physical properties like wall thickness changes in blood vessels, with accuracy enough. These difficult and sophisticated measurements in vessels have an increasing interest as tools to estimate basic parameters for calculating elastic properties in the vessel walls. Laboratory thickness data obtained for a latex phantom (mimicking vessel properties) are shown, giving a promising expectative for this improved estimation technique in blood vessels characterization, a diagnostic tool nowadays of growing attention by the researches. In fact, the results suggest clear improvement in spatial resolution, over the classic cross-correlation and non-parametric techniques, to estimate delays between pulsed signals. But, still further efforts and rigorous analyses of ultrasonic echo-signals acquired from well-controlled sanguineous tissues phantoms are needed in order to optimize the potential resolution of this new thickness measurement procedure and also to evaluate its possible clinic limitations.
为了获得更高的频率分辨率,本文对作者先前开发的用于生物多回波波形频谱评估的参数算法进行了调整和改进。这些结果允许围绕一种新的自回归光谱技术的可能应用进行可行性研究,以估计血管壁厚变化等物理特性,并具有足够的准确性。这些在血管中进行的困难和复杂的测量作为计算血管壁弹性特性的基本参数的工具越来越受到关注。本文展示了乳胶模体(模拟血管特性)的实验室厚度数据,为这种改进的血管表征估计技术提供了一个有希望的期望,这是一种越来越受到研究人员关注的诊断工具。事实上,研究结果表明,在估计脉冲信号之间延迟的空间分辨率方面,与经典的相互关联和非参数技术相比,有了明显的提高。但是,为了优化这种新的厚度测量方法的潜在分辨率,并评估其可能的临床局限性,还需要进一步的努力和对从控制良好的血组织幻影中获得的超声回波信号进行严格的分析。

Calcifications (calcium build-ups) in breast regions are frequently found in breast screening examinations. It is estimated that 90% of nonpalpable intraductal breast cancers are detectable morphologically by the presence of calcifications. This work performs a morphological analysis of regions of interest related to breast calcifications by extraction of a set of features that help the health care provider in the automatic classification of these calcifications. The results are being validated in a controlled test that simulates calcifications in order to consider morphological information that characterizes the geometrical characteristics. This allows one to assign an object signature and hence to approximate the test conditions to real calcifications.

This paper describes the authors' observations about the uncertainties which are associated with monitoring based on sensors. It presents the results of an experiment which is part of an ongoing research about dealing with uncertain contextual information in the human health monitoring system based on sensors. The experiment employs evidence theory on reasoning over context. Recommendations to improve the systems to monitor the human health within a framework that addresses uncertainty are also provided.
本文描述了作者对基于传感器的监测相关不确定性的观察。本文介绍了一项实验的结果,该实验是一项正在进行的研究的一部分,该研究是关于处理基于传感器的人体健康监测系统中不确定的上下文信息。该实验采用证据理论进行情境推理。还提出了在解决不确定性的框架内改进人类健康监测系统的建议。
