A Pilot Study to Determine the Role of Spatulating the Ureter During Pyeloplasty in Children for Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction in the Robotic Era.

Spatulation during ureteropelvic junction obstruction repair was evaluated in children treated by robot-assisted retroperitoneal pyeloplasty anastomosis (RRPA). Intraoperative video recordings (IVRs) of RRPA ( = 22 ureters) performed at a single institute between 2018 and 2022 were reviewed blindly by 5 independent surgeons for perceived difficulty of suturing (DOS; 5 = impossible; 4 = difficult...

Super-resolution deep learning reconstruction at coronary computed tomography angiography to evaluate the coronary arteries and in-stent lumen: an initial experience.

A super-resolution deep learning reconstruction (SR-DLR) algorithm trained using data acquired on the ultrahigh spatial resolution computed tomography (UHRCT) has the potential to provide better image quality of coronary arteries on the whole-heart, single-rotation cardiac coverage on a 320-detector row CT scanner. However, the advantages of SR-DLR at coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA...

A fixed dose approach to thrombosis chemoprophylaxis may be inadequate in heavier critically ill patients.

Overweight patients are at greater risk of venous thromboembolism. We aimed to describe prescribing patterns of thrombosis chemoprophylaxis in critic...

Remote Expert DVT Triaging of Novice-User Compression Sonography with AI-Guidance.

BACKGROUND: Compression ultrasonography of the leg is established for triaging proximal lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT). AutoDVT, a machine...

Coronary computed tomography angiographic detection of in-stent restenosis via deep learning reconstruction: a feasibility study.

OBJECTIVES: Evaluation of in-stent restenosis (ISR), especially for small stents, remains challenging during computed tomography (CT) angiography. We ...

Application of artificial neural network in daily prediction of bleeding in ICU patients treated with anti-thrombotic therapy.

OBJECTIVES: Anti-thrombotic therapy is the basis of thrombosis prevention and treatment. Bleeding is the main adverse event of anti-thrombosis. Existi...

Accuracy of IVUS-Based Machine Learning Segmentation Assessment of Coronary Artery Dimensions and Balloon Sizing.

BACKGROUND: Accurate intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) measurements are important in IVUS-guided percutaneous coronary intervention optimization by choo...

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension: realising the potential of multimodal management.

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a rare complication of acute pulmonary embolism. Important advances have enabled better under...

Virtual agents and risk-taking behavior in adolescence: the twofold nature of nudging.

Peer pressure can influence risk-taking behavior and it is particularly felt during adolescence. With artificial intelligence (AI) increasingly presen...

Management for Benign Ureteral Stricture: Comparison of Robot-Assisted Laparoscopy, Conventional Laparoscopy, and Balloon Dilation.

Robot-assisted laparoscopy (RALP), conventional laparoscopy (LP), and balloon dilation (BD) have all been identified as common treatments for benign ...

The Utility of Quantitative D-Dimer Assay as a Biomarker in the Diagnosis and Exclusion of Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis.

The utility and sensitivity of quantitative D-Dimer assay to rule out the diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis is well established. We extrapolated this ...

Transthoracic Aortic Clamp Technique for Port-Only Endoscopic Robotic Mitral Surgery.

OBJECTIVE: Many robotic mitral surgeons utilize right thoracotomy with transthoracic clamping of the aorta, while a smaller number employ a port-only ...

Behavioural Models of Risk-Taking in Human-Robot Tactile Interactions.

Touch can have a strong effect on interactions between people, and as such, it is expected to be important to the interactions people have with robots...

Robot-assisted percutaneous balloon compression for trigeminal neuralgia- preliminary experiences.

OBJECTIVES: This study aims to discuss the availability of robot-assisted percutaneous balloon compression (PBC) for trigeminal neuralgia (TN) and sha...

Simultaneous excision of pelvic lipoma and robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.

Lipoma is a benign mesenchymal tumour that can develop in any part of the body containing adipose tissue. Very few cases of pelvic lipomas have been r...

Short: Prediction of fetal blood oxygen content in response to partial occlusion of maternal aorta.

Acute hemorrhage in pregnancy may lead to maternal and/or fetal morbidity or mortality. In emergency medicine, blockage of the aorta via an inflatable...

Deep Learning Algorithm Enables Cerebral Venous Thrombosis Detection With Routine Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

BACKGROUND: Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a rare cerebrovascular disease. Routine brain magnetic resonance imaging is commonly used to diagnose ...

Deep learning-based classification of adequate sonographic images for self-diagnosing deep vein thrombosis.

BACKGROUND: Pulmonary thromboembolism is a serious disease that often occurs in disaster victims evacuated to shelters. Deep vein thrombosis is the mo...

Assistent guide: A novel device for ureteral stent placement in robot-assisted intracorporeal ileal conduit.

INTRODUCTION: Ureteral stent placement in robot-assisted intracorporeal ileal conduit formation (RICIC) is more challenging than extracorporeal urinar...

Do artificial neural networks love sex? How the combination of artificial neural networks with evolutionary algorithms may help to identify gender influence in rheumatic diseases.

Although medical research has been performed predominantly on men both in preclinical and clinical studies, continuous efforts have been made to overc...
