The rotating iterative procedure (RIP) is a programming concept for non-linear least squares fitting of multiexponential equations to experimental data in pharmacokinetics. The method is economical in its use of program and active register capacity and can be employed in modern electronic desk-top computers. The algorithms necessary for obtaining primary estimates of various logarithmic components and their subsequent correction are presented, with as little higher mathematics as appeared permissible. The procedure is described in the sequence that would actually be followed in a pharmacokinetic analysis, and an example is included, as well as a skeleton version of a program written in BASIC. Some instructions for obtaining overall statistical parameters are given.

Objective: To develop an original-mirror alignment associated deep learning algorithm for intelligent registration of three-dimensional maxillofacial point cloud data, by utilizing a dynamic graph-based registration network model (maxillofacial dynamic graph registration network, MDGR-Net), and to provide a valuable reference for digital design and analysis in clinical dental applications.

Methods: Four hundred clinical patients without significant deformities were recruited from Peking University School of Stomatology from October 2018 to October 2022. Through data augmentation, a total of 2 000 three-dimensional maxillofacial datasets were generated for training and testing the MDGR-Net algorithm.

Advancement of the Dragon Heart 7-Series for Pediatric Patients With Heart Failure.

Artif Organs

January 2025

BioCirc Research Laboratory, School of Biomedical Engineering, Science, and Health Systems, Drexel University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.

Background: Safe and effective pediatric blood pumps continue to lag far behind those developed for adults. To address this growing unmet clinical need, we are developing a hybrid, continuous-flow, magnetically levitated, pediatric total artificial heart (TAH). Our hybrid TAH design, the Dragon Heart (DH), integrates both an axial flow and centrifugal flow blood pump within a single, compact housing.
