Purpose: The present study used haptic technology to determine the safe forceps grip force for preventing organ damage when handling the intestinal tract.
Material And Methods: The small intestines of ten male beagle dogs (weighing 9.5-10 kg) were grasped with the entire forceps for one minute; the small intestines were then pulled out of the forceps and evaluated for damage. The force at which the shaft inside the forceps was pulled to close the tip of the forceps was defined as the grip force. Small intestine damage was classified into macroscopic (serosal defects, hemorrhage, hematomas, grip marks) and microscopic (damage layer to the mucosa, submucosa/muscularis mucosa, inner orbicularis muscle, external longitudinal muscle, serosa/subserosa). Grip marks and damage layer to the serosa/subserosa have been considered as acceptable safety margins when grasping the small intestines of beagle dogs.
Results: The macroscopic findings showed that the maximum grip force that produced a 0% incidence of hemorrhage and hematoma was 15 N. At the microscopic level, the maximum grip force that produced a 0% incidence of external longitudinal muscle injury was 15 N, respectively.
Conclusions: A grip force of 15 N does not damage the small intestines of beagle dogs.

Investigating the physiological mechanisms in the motor cortex during rehabilitation exercises is crucial for assessing stroke patients' progress. This study developed a single-channel Jansen neural mass model to explore the relationship between model parameters and motor cortex mechanisms. Firstly, EEG signals were recorded from 11 healthy participants under 20%, 40%, and 60% maximum voluntary contraction, and alpha rhythm power spectral density characteristics were extracted using the Welch power spectrum method.

This study aimed to predict and fit the nonlinear dynamic grip force of the human upper limb using surface electromyographic (sEMG) signals. The research employed a time-series-based neural network, NARX, to establish a mapping relationship between the electromyographic signals of the forearm muscle groups and dynamic grip force. Three-channel electromyographic signal acquisition equipment and a grip force sensor were used to record muscle signals and grip force data of the subjects under specific dynamic force conditions.

Car accidents, infections caused by bacteria or viruses, metastatic lesions, tumors, and malignancies are the most frequent causes of chest wall damage, leading to the removal of the affected area. After excision, artificial bone or synthetic materials are used in chest wall reconstruction to restore the skeletal structure of the chest. Chest implants have traditionally been made from metallic materials like titanium alloys due to their biocompatibility and durability.
