Compression of EEG signals with the LSTM-autoencoder via domain adaptation approach
Comput Methods Biomech Biomed Engin. 2024 Apr 30:1-14. doi: 10.1080/10255842.2024.2346356. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe successful implementation of neural network-based EEG signal compression has led to significant cost reductions in data transmission. However, a major obstacle in this process arises from the decline in performance when compressing EEG signals from multiple subjects. This challenge arises due to the notable feature shift of EEG signals between subjects, which poses an impediment to the neural network's efficient concurrent acquisition of information from multiple subjects. To address this limitation ...

Controlled Mechanical Property Gradients Within a Digital Light Processing Printed Hydrogel-Composite Osteochondral Scaffold
Ann Biomed Eng. 2024 Apr 29. doi: 10.1007/s10439-024-03516-x. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTissue engineered scaffolds are needed to support physiological loads and emulate the micrometer-scale strain gradients within tissues that guide cell mechanobiological responses. We designed and fabricated micro-truss structures to possess spatially varying geometry and controlled stiffness gradients. Using a custom projection microstereolithography (μSLA) system, using digital light projection (DLP), and photopolymerizable poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) hydrogel monomers, three designs with feature sizes < 200 μm we...

Low-Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound: A Physical Stimulus with Immunomodulatory and Anti-inflammatory Potential
Ann Biomed Eng. 2024 Apr 29. doi: 10.1007/s10439-024-03523-y. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTUltrasound has expanded into the therapeutic field as a medical imaging and diagnostic technique. Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) is a kind of therapeutic ultrasound that plays a vital role in promoting fracture healing, wound repair, immunomodulation, and reducing inflammation. Its anti-inflammatory effects are manifested by decreased pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, accelerated regression of immune cell invasion, and accelerated damage repair. Although the anti-inflammatory mechanism of LIPUS is not very clear, m...

In Vitro and In Silico Characterization of the Aggregation of Thrombi on Textured Ventricular Cannula
Ann Biomed Eng. 2024 Apr 28. doi: 10.1007/s10439-024-03504-1. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe unacceptably high stroke rate associated with HeartMate 3 ventricular assist device (VAD) without signs of adherent pump thrombosis is hypothesized to be the result of the emboli produced by the inflow cannula, that are ingested and ejected from the pump. This in vitro and numerical study aimed to emulate the surface features and supraphysiological shear of a ventricular cannula to provide insight into their effect on thrombogenesis. Human whole blood was perfused at calibrated flow rates in a microfluidic channel to achieve she...
