Objective Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a non‐invasive neuroimaging technique widely used in olfactory research. During a typical fMRI olfactory block‐design, one functional “run” refers to a combination of multiple blocks with continuous brain image acquisition. The current study investigated the length of functional runs on odor‐induced brain response signals (blood oxygen level dependent [BLOD]) within the primary and key secondary olfactory areas. Methods Twenty‐five...

Publication date: Available online 3 July 2019Source: International Journal of Pediatric OtorhinolaryngologyAuthor(s): Katherine R. Kavanagh, Nicole MurrayAbstractIntroductionOpen airway reconstruction is a highly specialized skill. Simulation affords the opportunity to practice surgical skills in a low stakes environment which is particularly important for a high acuity, low frequency operation. Although animal models have been described, these present ethical and financial barriers, and therefore...

Abstract Objective To verify the minimally invasive surgical approach and therapeutic effects of using the medical neurosurgery robot Remebot to treat hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH). Methods Clinical data for 17 HICH patients were analyzed retrospectively. Hematoma evacuation and tube drainage using Remebot frameless stereotaxic techniques were performed for all patients, and urokinase was injected into the hematomas after the operations. Results Robot‐assisted stereotactic...
Abstract Background The hand‐held devices have the advantages of being compact and easily integrated into surgical workflow especially for microsurgery. However, one of the technical challenges of hand‐held device in microsurgery is the lack of force sensing and feedback. Methods This paper presents a hand‐held haptic device that converts imperceptible forces into human‐perceptible tactile signals. It combines a force sensing tip based on fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors that can detect...

Abstract Background Metastases to the bones, lungs, and liver are common in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) but not to the brain and frontal bone (B + FB). Methods We describe a patient with NPC with B + FB metastasis. He received two cycles of palliative chemotherapy (gemcitabine and cisplatin) and then radiotherapy (60 Gy) for B + FB metastasis. A literature review of previous cases was also undertaken. Results Follow‐up 6 months after completion of chemotherapy and...
