In the last decades an innovative technique has emerged in clinical gastroenterology as a compelling alternative to the traditional wired endoscopy, known as Wireless Capsule Endoscopy (WCE). Such cutting-edge application is able to investigate the gastrointestinal (GI) tract through a miniaturized, swallowable and biocompatible capsule, equipped w...

Introduction: The use of biocompatible scaffolds combined with the implantation of neural stem cells, is increasingly being investigated to promote the regeneration of damaged neural tissue, for instance, after a Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). In particular, aligned Polylactic Acid (PLA) microfibrils’ scaffolds are capable of supporting cells, promoting...
Conference Paper
Numerical evaluation of the electromagnetic (EM) quantities induced inside the brain during transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) applications is a fundamental step to obtain the optimization of the treatment in terms of coil position and current intensity. In this sense, the human head model considered and the electromagnetic properties used to...
