Introducing a New Dosimeter for the Assessment and Monitoring of Vocal Risk Situations and Voice Disorders.

Purpose: There are many physiological parameters recorded by devices that are becoming more affordable, precise and accurate. However, the lack of development in the recording of voice parameters from the physiological or medical point of view is striking, given that it is a fundamental tool for the work of many people and given the high incidence and prevalence of voice pathologies that affect people's communication. In this paper we perform a complete literature review on the dosimeters used in voice research and to present a prototype dosimeter with a pilot study to show its capabilities.

Ocular surface analysis and automatic non-invasive assessment of tear film breakup location, extension and progression in patients with glaucoma.

Background: Tear film stability is the key event in ocular surface diseases. The purpose of this study is to evaluate spatial and temporal progression of the tear film breakup using an automatic non-invasive device.

Methods: Non-invasive tear breakup time (NITBUT) parameters, such as First NITBUT (F-NITBUT) and Average NITBUT (A-NITBUT), were evaluated in 132 glaucoma and 87 control eyes with the Keratograph 5 M device.

[3D printing in neurosurgery: a specific model for patients with craniosynostosis].

Introduction: Craniosynostosis is a rare condition and requires a personalised surgical approach, which is why we consider the use of 3D printed models beneficial in the surgical planning of this procedure.

Material And Methods: Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene plastic skull models were designed and printed from CT images of patients between 3 and 6 months of age with craniosynostosis of different sutures. The models were used to simulate surgical procedures.
