Videostroboscopy and high-speed imaging is now an accepted way to evaluate laryngeal function in patients with voice disorders. In patients with neurolaryngological diseases such as tremor, laryngeal spasm, and paralysis, having an objective way to evaluate vocal function is desirable. Using digital imaging and analysis, both the videostroboscopy and the high-speed video can be analyzed to obtain relevant measures of vocal function. From the videostroboscopy, the montage of the glottal cycle derived from steady of vocal vibration can be analyzed by using edge tracking software to obtain the glottal area waveform. The waveform is an indication of the efficiency of the vocal folds in acting as an oscillator and gives direct information as to the open and closed phase, the symmetry of vocal fold vibration and the degree of amplitude contribution from each fold. High-speed video overcomes the deficiencies of stroboscopy by allowing for all voice gestures to be studies. Using digital kymography and analysis of the vibrogram, analysis of the onset of vocal fold oscillation, evaluation of diplophonia, tremor, and voice breaks becomes possible. Furthermore, analysis of the high-speed video kymograph tracing using signal analysis allow the investigator to evaluate the frequency and power relationships of vocal fold vibratory function in the normal and disordered state.

Determining Ciliary Function and Membrane Impermeability of the Pseudostratified Lung Airway Epithelium.

Department of Biomedical Sciences, School of Medicine and Health Sciences, University of North Dakota;
Differentiating primary lung airway epithelial cells in the air-liquid interface (ALI) is a popular technique to develop a multi-cellular pseudostratified airway epithelium that mimics the apical side of the lung airway. While the differentiation of primary lung airway cells is expected, the assessment of biophysical properties like ciliary function and membrane impermeability provides a quality assessment of the airway epithelium and ensures the reliability of the experiment. Here, we describe a straightforward protocol for the development of multi-cellular pseudostratified airway epithelium in ALI culture and assess two important biophysical properties: ciliary function and membrane impermeability.

Background: Design parameters of prefilled pens, known as autoinjectors within the medical device community, can affect pen's functioning and user experience. This study compares the performance of two 2 mL prefilled pen devices: lebrikizumab (125 mg/mL) and dupilumab (150 mg/mL).
Research Design And Methods: We recorded force and acoustic signals during administration from the prefilled pen devices and performed high-speed video recording during needle insertion and drug delivery.
Robust and blind video watermarking against online sharing platforms.

In recent years, with the access of high-speed broadband, the number of videos on online sharing platforms has increased sharply, and the copyright protection of videos has been widely concerned. However, existing block-based watermarking methods have high sensitivity under geometric deformation and cannot accurately locate the watermark position, which leads to the failure of watermark extraction. Therefore, a robust and blind video watermarking scheme to resist the online sharing platform is proposed.

January 2025
Dynamic Facial Projection Mapping (DFPM) overlays computer-generated images onto human faces to create immersive experiences that have been used in the makeup and entertainment industries. In this study, we propose two concepts to reduce the misalignment artifacts between projected images and target faces, which is a persistent challenge for DFPM. Our first concept is a high-speed face-tracking method that exploits temporal information.
