    摘要: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for measuring the radiation emitted from the therapeutic radiation source. One variation of a radiotherapy system includes a radiation measurement device that is coupled to a radiotherapy system housing. The radiation measurement device may be movably coupled to the housing, and its position and/or motion is independent from the position and/or motion of the therapeutic radiation source. In one variation, the radiation measurement device is at a location on the system housing where it may measure exit beams with little or no interference with entrance beams. Also disclosed herein are radiotherapy systems that include one or more radiopaque or radiation emitting fiducials coupled to the housing.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the biomedical technical field, and disclose a retinal prosthesis and a visual perception method based on the retinal prosthesis. The retinal prosthesis includes: a capturing assembly, a neuromorphic processor and a light stimulator. The capturing assembly is configured to capture an external scenario and encode the captured external scenario as spike sequences. The neuromorphic processor is configured to predict spike responses of ganglion cells of an implant recipient of the retinal prosthesis according to a preset deep learning algorithm and the spike sequences. The light stimulator is configured to stimulate the ganglion cells based on the spike responses of the ganglion cells. The retinal prosthesis can further reduce the data size and the amount of computation effectively, so that the power consumption is greatly reduced on the premise of keeping a relatively high processing speed.

    摘要: Electrical modulation provides treatment of brain tumors, such as glioblastoma. An electrical stimulus may be applied to the brain of a patient with a brain tumor (e.g., primary or metastatic brain tumor in upfront, adjuvant, or recurrent treatment setting) via bitemporal and/or unitemporal electrodes. The electrical modulation acts on brain tumor networks to slow tumor growth and increase survivability of the patient. The electrical modulation also transiently permits passage of therapeutics across the blood-brain barrier. The electrical modulation also sensitizes brain tumors to radiation therapy, immunotherapy, and chemotherapy.

    摘要: An acupuncture point stimulation coil to constitute a zero magnetic field includes individual members, each having a spiral portion wound in a left-winding direction and another spiral portion wound in a right-winding direction, the spiral portion and the another spiral portion being vertically combined to be one unit, or each having at least two spiral portions wound in the left-winding direction and at least two another spiral portions wound in the right-winding direction, the at least two spiral portions and the at least two another spiral portions being vertically combined, respectively, to be at least two units, and at least one conductive wire continuously extending, each connecting two of the at least two units.
