Impact of Force Scaling on Physician Fatigue in a Bilateral Tele-Ultrasound System.

Tele-ultrasound systems enable remote diagnostic imaging by transmitting both motion commands and haptic feedback between a sonographer and a robotic probe. While these systems aim to replicate conventional ultrasound procedures, they rarely address the physical strain typically experienced by sonographers. In this study, the effect of applying a force scaling strategy to haptic feedback on reducing muscular fatigue and task-induced stress during a realistic tele-ultrasound task is studied. First, a thorough operational and biomechanical analysis of the abdominal US procedure was performed to …

CCL25 in the cerebrospinal fluid is negatively correlated with fatigue in chronic pain patients.

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Chronic pain is often accompanied by other symptoms such as fatigue and sleep disturbance, and these symptoms all correlate with neuroimmune activation. However, their relation to one another on a neuroimmune axis remains elusive. Based on a recent review, cytokines in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) seem to be generally upregulated in patients with chronic pain compared to controls, disregarding pain type. Some of these have the possilibity of altering blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability. Therefore, cytokine levels in serum and CSF, as well as BBB permeability, were measu…
