A survey of electrokinetically-driven microfluidics for cancer cells manipulation.

Cancer is one of the leading causes of annual deaths worldwide, accounting for nearly 10 million deaths each year. Metastasis, the process by which cancer spreads across the patient's body, is the main cause of death in cancer patients. Because the rising trend observed in statistics of new cancer cases and cancer-related deaths does not allow for an optimistic viewpoint on the future-in relation to this terrible disease-the scientific community has sought methods to enable early detection of cancer and prevent the apparition of metastatic tumors.

Implementation of a Virtual Reality rendered in Portable Devices for Strabismus Treatment based on Conventional Visual Therapy.

In order to propose alternative treatments for strabismus, conventional visual therapies implemented in VR, which could be rendered in portable devices for pediatric strabismus treatment is proposed in this paper. In comparison with other virtual environments for visual correction proposes, the proposed system is based on conventional visual therapies for amblyopia and strabismus treatment. Three fundamental visual therapeutic exercises were considered in the present proposal: (1) Brock cord, (2) approach technique, and (3) convergence and divergence.
