Neurosurgery is a highly specialized field:it often involves surgical manipulation of noble structures and cerebral retraction is frequently necessary to reach deep-seated brain *** are still no reliable methods preventing possible retraction *** objective of this study was to design work chambers well suited for transcranial endoscopic surgery while providing safe retraction of the surrounding brain *** chamber is designed to be inserted close to the intracranial point of interest;once it is best placed it can be *** should guarantee an appreciable workspace similar to that of current neurosurgical *** experimental aspect of this study involved the use of a force sensor to evaluate the pressures exerted on the brain tissue during the retraction *** pterional craniotomy,pressure measurements were made during retraction with the use of a conventional metal spatula with different *** that,although the force values necessary for retraction and exerted on the spatula by the neurosurgeon are the same,the local pressure exerted on the parenchyma at the edge of the spatula at different inclinations varied greatly.A new method of cerebral retraction using a chamber retractor(CR)has been designed to avoid any type of complication due to spatula edge overpressures and to maintain acceptable pressure values exerted on the parenchyma.

The development of compact portable ECG monitoring devices often entails the pursuit of downsizing measurement systems. This objective frequently involves additional efforts, such as custom PCB fabrication for analog front-end systems and exploration of alternative electrode types and configurations. In this study, we investigate the feasibility of using the BioAmp EXG Pill, a miniature commercial analog front-end board, in comparison to the well-established AD8232. Our analysis focuses on comparing ECG signals from five adult subjects, examining both frequency components using the welch estimation method and ECG parameters extracted from time-domain signals. The results reveal that both devices provided similar outcomes in time-domain measurements, with a slightly lower standard deviation observed in the AD8232. In terms of spectral density, both devices proficiently captured low-frequency components within the 0–3 Hz range. However, in higher-frequency domains, the AD8232 demonstrated superior capability in capturing finer frequency details.
In this study, a rapid diagnosis platform was developed for the detection of Escherichia coli O157:H7. An electrical double layer (EDL)-gated field-effect transistor-based biosensor (BioFET) as a point-of-care testing...
