Electromagnetic Modulation of Cell Behavior: Unraveling the Positive Impacts in a Comprehensive Review
Ann Biomed Eng. 2024 Apr 23. doi: 10.1007/s10439-024-03519-8. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThere are numerous effective procedures for cell signaling, in which humans directly transmit detectable signals to cells to govern their essential behaviors. From a biomedical perspective, the cellular response to the combined influence of electrical and magnetic fields holds significant promise in various domains, such as cancer treatment, targeted drug delivery, gene therapy, and wound healing. Among these modern cell signaling methods, electromagnetic fields (EMFs) play a pivotal role; however, there remains a paucity of knowled...

Head Impact Kinematics and Brain Tissue Strains in High School Lacrosse
Ann Biomed Eng. 2024 Apr 22. doi: 10.1007/s10439-024-03513-0. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMale lacrosse and female lacrosse have differences in history, rules, and equipment. There is current debate regarding the need for enhanced protective headwear in female lacrosse like that worn by male lacrosse players. To inform this discussion, 17 high school lacrosse players (6 female and 11 male) wore the Stanford Instrumented Mouthguard during 26 competitive games over the 2021 season. Time-windowing and video review were used to remove false-positive recordings and verify head acceleration events (HAEs). The HAE rate in high ...

Body-Mounted MR-Conditional Robot for Minimally Invasive Liver Intervention
Ann Biomed Eng. 2024 Apr 18. doi: 10.1007/s10439-024-03503-2. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMR-guided microwave ablation (MWA) has proven effective in treating hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with small-sized tumors, but the state-of-the-art technique suffers from sub-optimal workflow due to the limited accuracy provided by the manual needle insertions. This paper presents a compact body-mounted MR-conditional robot that can operate in closed-bore MR scanners for accurate needle guidance. The robotic platform consists of two stacked Cartesian XY stages, each with two degrees of freedom, that facilitate needle insertion pose...

A Quick Method to Assess Airway Distensibility in Mice
Ann Biomed Eng. 2024 Apr 15. doi: 10.1007/s10439-024-03518-9. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAirway distensibility is defined as the ease whereby airways are dilating in response to inflating lung pressure. If measured swiftly and accurately, airway distensibility would be a useful readout to parse the various elements contributing to airway wall stiffening, such as smooth muscle contraction, surface tension, and airway remodeling. The goal of the present study was to develop a method for measuring airway distensibility in mice. Lungs of BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice from either sex were subjected to stepwise changes in pressure....

Habituation of Brain Activity with Repetition in Color and Picture-Word Stroop Tests
Ann Biomed Eng. 2024 Apr 15. doi: 10.1007/s10439-024-03509-w. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAs a widely used mental task for functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), the original color-word Stroop task has the advantage of being difficult to habituate, but also the disadvantage of being difficult to understand, especially for children. While the introduction of derived Stroop tasks offers highly promising countermeasures, changes in brain activity during these tests have not been well tested. We investigated the degree of habituation between the original and a derived Stroop task by measuring brain activity to obtain...

In Vitro Comparison of a Closed and Semi-closed Leaflet Design for Adult and Pediatric Transcatheter Heart Valves
Ann Biomed Eng. 2024 Apr 13. doi: 10.1007/s10439-024-03502-3. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTranscatheter heart valve replacements (TVR) are mostly designed in a closed position (c) with leaflets coaptating. However, recent literature suggests fabricating valves in semi-closed (sc) position to minimize pinwheeling. With about 100,000 children in need of a new pulmonary valve each year worldwide, this study evaluates both geometrical approaches in adult as well as pediatric size and condition. Three valves of each geometry were fabricated in adult (30 mm) and pediatric (15 mm) size, using porcine pericardium. To evaluate pe...
