Abstract: Siliconebased tissuemimicking phantom is widely used as a surrogate of tissue for clinical simulators, allowing clinicians to practice medical procedures and researchers to study the performance of medical devices. This ...

Abstract: Finish boring is a machining process to achieve the cylinder bore dimensional and geometrical accuracy. The bore cylindricity error sources, including the workpiece thermal expansion and deformation due to cutting and ...

Abstract: This study investigated the grinding force in rotational atherectomy, a clinical procedure that uses a high-speed grinding wheel to remove hardened, calcified plaque inside the human arteries. The grinding force, wheel ...

Abstract: This research investigates heat generation and workpiece temperature during deephole drilling of cast iron under a high air pressure minimum quantity lubrication (MQL). The hole wall surface (HWS) heat flux, due to drill ...

Abstract: Bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) has shown significant potential in many areas of medicine to provide new physiologic markers. Several acute and chronic diseases are accompanied by changes in intraand extracellular fluid ...

Abstract: This research presents an experimental study evaluating stomach suturing using a precurved nickel–titanium (NiTi) guidewire for an endoscopic minimally invasive obesity treatment. Precise path planning is critical for ...

Abstract: Bipolar electrosurgical vessel sealing is commonly used in surgery to perform hemostasis. The electrode compressive force is demonstrably an important factor affecting the vessel seal burst pressure, an index of the seal ...

Abstract: The effects of water content and compression level on tissue thermal conductivity were studied. These effects are important in electrosurgery, as tissue is subjected to both compression and thermal heating. Ex vivo canine ...

Abstract: Core needle biopsy (CNB) is widely used in active surveillance, which is the current standard of care for low risk prostate cancers. A longer biopsy sample length may improve the accuracy of diagnosis. To increase the ...
