The role of software in healthcare is getting more and more pervasive. Nevertheless, manufacturers sometimes forget that these software are medical devices and must be certified according to the EU Medical Device Regulation 2017/745. In this work we propose a pipeline for developing a Medical Device Software (MDS) compliant with the regulations and certifiable. The pipeline includes the phase of requirements elicitation, risk assessment and analysis of effectiveness as key elements. The preparation of the technical file should be carried out in parallel with the MDS development. In the overall, it can be stated that the certification process starts with the conceptualization of the MDS and proceeds all along its design and implementation.

Background: Although opioid analgesics may influence sleep in patients with chronic pain, the association between strong opioid use and sleep characteristics remains unclear. This study aimed to explore differences in sleep status among chronic pain patients with varying levels of opioid use.
Methods: A total of 29 patients with chronic non-cancer pain who had been under treatment for more than 6 months were included.

Cell sorting is an important fundamental process for the selection and purification of target cell types for cell analysis in the life sciences and medical fields. In particular, demand is increasing for high-throughput cell sorting technology for the analysis of rare cells. Toward this end, we developed a centrifugal force-based cell sorting technique that relies on the adhesion force of cells as a marker.

Aim: To systematically review randomized controlled trials evaluating the efficacy of sleep-oriented non-pharmacological interventions for delirium prevention in intensive care units.
Methods: We searched PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library for randomized controlled trials evaluating the efficacy of sleep-oriented, non-pharmacological interventions for delirium prevention in intensive care units published in English between 2019 and 2024. The methodological quality of the included studies was independently evaluated by two researchers using the Joanna Briggs Institute tool.

Introduction: Randomised controlled trials comparing endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) to medical treatment in patients with medium vessel occlusion (MeVO) suggested neutrality or futility of EVT. We studied whether the size difference between thrombectomy device and the occluded vessel influenced MeVO outcomes.
Patients And Methods: This was a retrospective single-centre observational study comprising EVT-treated patients with occlusion of the M2 branch of the middle cerebral artery on digital subtraction angiography.
