Case report An 18-year-old male patient experienced frequent episodes of palpitations for 6 months. He was referred to our hospital for catheter ablation. This patient had no prior history of structural cardiovascular disease. His chest radiograph and transthoracic echocardiogram showed no abnormalities. The electrocardiogram (ECG) showed Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome at baseline (Figure 1A) a...

There is a need to provide haptic and tactile feedback to surgeons during robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RMIS). Such feedback is also essential for palpation based diagnostic during cancer removal using MIS. There have been recent efforts at developing a mechatronic finger to mimic some of the palpation capabilities of a human finger. These mechatronic fingers typically record force...

In this study, thermoplastic polyolefin elastomeric (TPO) nanocomposites were fabricated by friction stir processing. The effect of different pin geometries on clay dispersion and mechanical properties of the TPO nanocomposite reinforced with 3% wt nanoclay has been first investigated. The optimum pin geometry namely threaded cylindrical pin was then used to fabricate the nanocomposites contain...

Within the scope of our recent approach for Efficient Unsupervised Constitutive Law Identification and Discovery (EUCLID), we propose an unsupervised Bayesian learning framework discovery parsimonious interpretable constitutive laws with quantifiable uncertainties. As in deterministic EUCLID, do not resort to stress data, but only realistically measurable full-field displacement global reaction...

To advance empirically supported care and improve outcomes for children and adolescents with headache, it is important to develop evidence regarding the impact of headaches on everyday life. Helping our patients to achieve good headache control, quality of life and emotional and behavioral health are core objectives of multidisciplinary treatment. From clinical experience, providers of care for...
