  • Experimental tests on models show that the proposed method successfully detects various states of the capsule during its magnetic actuation.

Article Abstract

In recent years, the Simultaneous Magnetic Actuation and Localization (SMAL) technology has been developed to accelerate and locate the wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) in the intestine. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to detect the state of the capsule for improving the localization results. By creating a function to fit the relationship between the theoretical values of the actuating magnetic field and the measurement results, we present an algorithm for automatic estimation of the capsule state according to the fitting parameters. Experiment results on phantoms demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method for detecting different states of the capsule during magnetic actuation.

Background: Acute pain management is critical in postoperative care, especially in vulnerable patient populations that may be unable to self-report pain levels effectively. Current methods of pain assessment often rely on subjective patient reports or behavioral pain observation tools, which can lead to inconsistencies in pain management. Multimodal pain assessment, integrating physiological and behavioral data, presents an opportunity to create more objective and accurate pain measurement systems.

Ligand binding to membrane proteins initiates numerous therapeutic processes. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR), a popular method for analyzing molecular interactions, has emerged as a promising tool for in situ determination of membrane protein binding kinetics owing to its label-free detection, high surface sensitivity, and resistance to intracellular interference. However, the excitation of SPR relies on noble metal films, typically gold, which are biologically incompatible and can cause fluorescence quenching.

T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia (T-PLL) is an aggressive lymphoid malignancy with limited treatment options. To discover new treatment targets for T-PLL, we performed high-throughput drug sensitivity screening on 30 primary patient samples ex-vivo. After screening over 2'800 unique compounds, we found T-PLL to be more resistant to most drug classes, including chemotherapeutics, compared to other blood cancers.
