Latest AI and machine learning research in surgery for healthcare professionals.
OBJECTIVE: Interpretation of the electroencephalographic (EEG) and magnetoencephalographic (MEG) signals requires off-line artifacts removal. Since artifacts share frequencies with brain activity, filtering is insufficient. Blind source separation, mainly through independent component analysis (ICA), is the gold-standard procedure for the identification of artifacts in multi-dimensional recordings...
Pars plana vitrectomy is a challenging, minimally invasive microsurgical procedure due to its intrinsic manoeuvres and physiological limits that constrain human capability. An important human limitation is physiological hand tremor, which can significantly increase the risk of iatrogenic retinal damage resulting from unintentional manoeuvres that affect anatomical and functional surgical outcomes....
Soft-robotic devices such as polymeric microgrippers offer the possibility for pick and place of fragile biological cargo in hard-to-reach conduits wi...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The rupture of an intracranial aneurysm is a serious incident, causing subarachnoid hemorrhage associated with high fatality a...
A fast sample preparation procedure based on use of infrared (IR) assisted heating for mineralization of soybean derived samples has been developed fo...
Swallowing is a complex physiological function that can be studied through medical imagery techniques such as videofluoroscopy (VFS), dynamic magnetic...
Continuum robots offer compliant and dexterous operations, which are suitable to be used in unstructured environments. Tendon-driven catheters, owing ...
Modern robotics is an advanced minimally invasive technology with the advantages of wristed capability, three-dimensional optics, and tremor filtratio...
Transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) enhances motor learning in adults. We have demonstrated that anodal tDCS and high-definition (HD) tDCS ...
INTRODUCTION: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a common procedure for improving mobility and quality of life in patients with osteoarthritis. Postoper...
Ulnar nerve compression at the cubital tunnel is the second commonest upper limb neuropathy. Unlike carpal tunnel surgery, most of decompression proc...
OBJECTIVE: We conducted a phase I trial of neoadjuvant nivolumab, a monoclonal antibody to the programmed cell death protein 1 checkpoint receptor, in...
Persistence of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is common after renal transplantation. Good diagnosis and treatment are important to avoid complic...
INTRODUCTION: Indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging system is a now a consolidated complementary technique for several surgical fields. The dev...
PURPOSE: To describe an immunosuppressed patient who developed acute-onset postoperative endophthalmitis caused by a moxifloxacin-resistant strain of ...
There is a disparity between the increasing application of digital retinal imaging to neonatal ocular screening and slowly growing number of pediatric...
BACKGROUND: Although gastric cancer is a malignancy with high morbidity and mortality in China, the survival rate of patients with early gastric cance...
This paper analyzes control methodologies to implement maneuvering and stabilization behaviors in a bipedal robot using a bioinspired robotic tail. Lo...
We propose a frame-based natural language processing (NLP) method that extracts cancer-related information from clinical narratives. We focus on three...
This study investigates the safety and efficacy of a large-dose, needle-based epidural technique in obstetric anesthesia. The technique differs from a...
