Pressure - Volume (PV) analysis is the de facto standard for assessing myocardial function. Conductance based methods have been used for the past 27 years to generate instantaneous left ventricular (LV) volume signal. Our research group has developed the instrumentation and the algorithm for obtaining PV loops based on the measurement of real - time admittance magnitude and phase from the LV of anaesthetized mice and rats. In this study, the instrumentation will be integrated into an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) and a backpack device will be designed along with this ASIC. This will enable measurement of real-time in vivo P-V loops from conscious and ambulatory rats, useful for both acute and chronic studies.

The advancement of cellular networks requires updating measurement protocols to better study radiofrequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) exposure emitted from devices and base stations. This paper aims to present a novel activity-based microenvironmental survey protocol to measure environmental, auto-induced downlink (DL), and uplink (UL) RF-EMF exposure in the era of 5G. We present results when applying the protocol in Switzerland.

Postural disorders in children and adolescents have an increasing incidence. The aim of this study was to identify the type of postural defects in school-age and preschool children, as well as the external risk factors determined by an inadequate lifestyle. The research included 134 children aged between 5 and 18 years, in whom postural defects were identified.

Methods: We developed the trunk-load- hip dynamics, modified the spring-loaded-inverted-pendulum (SLIP) model, and optimized the loaded-walking pattern for minimal energetic cost.
Evaluation of the Working Mechanism of a Newly Developed Powered Ankle-Foot Orthosis.

Ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) are commonly prescribed to children with cerebral palsy (CP). The conventional AFO successfully controls the first and second ankle rocker, but it fails to correct the third ankle rocker, which negatively effects push-off power. The current study evaluated a new powered AFO (PAFO) design, developed to address the shortcomings of the conventional AFO.
