Instability is one of the symptoms associated with Rheumatoid Arthritis of the wrist joint. The instability which is caused by weakened ligaments as well as worn cartilages makes the carpal bones to move freely, causing a painful condition. Wrist arthroplasty is one of the treatments for severe cases of Rheumatoid Arthritis of the wrist joint. This project involved biomechanical analysis of wrist...
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a surgical treatment for movement disorders like Parkison's disease or essential tremor. Although DBS is effective in the treatment, the mechanism of action is not clearly understood by now. The accessibility to deep brain regions through the DBS implanted electrodes can give the opportunity to monitor the local activity of nuclei once accessible only during surgical...
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is considered a surgical treatment alternative for Parkinson disease (PD) patients with intractable tremor or for those patients who are affected by long-term complications of levodopa therapy such as motor fluctuations and severe dyskinesias. However, the susceptible accuracy of placement of the DBS electrode inside the brain nucleus determines the therapeutic efficacy...
Obesity and its many complications potentially can collapse most medical plans, unless attempts at prevention and therapy become more effective and widespread. An important incentive for providing effective treatment is proper reimbursement. We present here an evaluation of the feasibility, constrains and requirements for comparative cost-effectiveness evaluation of weight loss intervention from the...
The surgical treatments of genital prolapsus are still empirical and poorly valued. We plan to achieve a method for the objective assessment of the troubles of the pelvic statics and of the various surgical strategies. The methodology considers 3 axes: building a 3D mechanical model of the pelvic cavity, mechanical characterization of the concerned organic tissues, in-vivo measurement of the intravaginal...
