Design, modeling and control of magnetic microrobots for minimally invasive brain surgery
نویسنده
چکیده
The medical procedure is described as follows. First (Fig.1a), (epidural catheter) is inserted into the space between the spinal cord (epidural space in L2-L3 lu first uses a local anesthetic to numb the area where the needle will be inserted. Then the guide needle is inserted and removed, while the catheter remains in place Then (Fig.1b), the propulsion and steering of the magnetic helicoïdal microrobots cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) is controlled through real spinal canal using a rotating-magnetic manipulator. brain.

Hyperglycemia and antibody titres against heat shock protein 27 in traumatic brain injury patients on parenteral nutrition
Objective(s):Hyperglycemia worsens the neuronal death induced by cerebral ischemia. Previous studies demonstrated that diabetic hyperglycemia suppressed the expression of heat shock protein 70 and 60 (HSP70 and 60) in the liver. IgG antibody titres against heat shock protein 27 (anti HSP27) were measured to determine whether hyperglycemia exacerbates ischemic brain damage by suppressing the exp...
متن کاملMobility experiments with microrobots for minimally invasive intraocular surgery.
PURPOSE To investigate microrobots as an assistive tool for minimally invasive intraocular surgery and to demonstrate mobility and controllability inside the living rabbit eye. METHODS A system for wireless magnetic control of untethered microrobots was developed. Mobility and controllability of a microrobot are examined in different media, specifically vitreous, balanced salt solution (BSS),...

متن کاملDesign, Modeling, and Construction of a New Tactile Sensor for Measuring Contact-Force
This paper presents the design, modeling, and testing of a flexible tactile sensor and its applications. This sensor is made of polymer materials and can detect the 2D surface texture image and contact-force estimation. The sensing mechanism is based on the novel contact deflection effect of a membrane. We measure the deflection of the membrane with measuring the strain in the membrane with emb...
متن کاملDesign and Control of In-Vivo Magnetic Microrobots
This paper investigates fundamental design, modeling and control issues related to untethered biomedical microrobots guided inside the human body through external magnetic fields. Immediate application areas for these microrobots include cardiovascular, intraocular and inner-ear diagnosis and surgery. A prototype microrobot and steering system are introduced. Experimental results on fluid drag ...
