Latest AI and machine learning research in surgery for healthcare professionals.
Other than efficacy of interaction with the molecular target, metabolic stability is the primary factor responsible for the failure or success of a compound in the drug development pipeline. The ideal drug candidate should be stable enough to reach its therapeutic site of action. Despite many recent excellent achievements in the field of computational methods supporting drug metabolism studies, a ...
This paper presents mechatronic design and locomotion control of a biomimetic robotic fish that swims using thunniform kinematics for fast cruising. Propulsion of the robotic fish is realized with a parallel four-bar propulsive mechanism that delivers combined translational and rotational motion to a lunate caudal fin. A central pattern generator controller, composed of two unidirectionally couple...
This paper presents a novel electromyography (EMG)-driven hand exoskeleton for bilateral rehabilitation of grasping in stroke. The developed hand exos...
PURPOSE: To assess the impact of HA on robotic PN (RPN) outcomes.
Uterine diverticula are rare outpouchings of the uterus associated with abnormal uterine bleeding, pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, and adverse obstetric ev...
We present prediction and variable importance (VIM) methods for longitudinal data sets containing continuous and binary exposures subject to missingne...
BACKGROUND: Thymectomy is an essential component in the treatment of myasthenia gravis (MG) and the best treatment for localized thymoma. Minimally in...
OBJECTIVES: To explore the views of experts about the development and validation of a robotic surgery training curriculum, and how this should be impl...
PURPOSE: We developed a novel procedure specific simulation platform for robotic partial nephrectomy. In this study we prospectively evaluate its face...
Recent study shows that tendon-sheath system (TSS) has great potential in the development of surgical robots for endoscopic surgery. It is able to del...
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To review the indications, rationale, and technique for abdominal cerclage, specifically focusing on a laparoscopic approach to this ...
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate a surgical video of 2 cases, in which the steps of robotic-assisted abdominal cerclage placement were delineated in on...
The purpose of this study was to report the outcomes of a series of patients who underwent hand-assisted laparoscopy surgery for benign giant pelvic m...
Bone-attached robots and microstereotactic frames, intended for deep brain stimulation and minimally invasive cochlear implantation, typically attach ...
Two types of laparoscopic or robotic-assisted vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) repairs, the traditional transvesical (O'Conor) and extravesical techniques,...
STUDY OBJECTIVES: To demonstrate the technical steps of a laparoscopic sacral colpopexy (LSC), demonstrate the efficiency of LSC, review the comparati...
Minimally invasive liver surgery is performed with increasing frequency by hepatic surgeons. Laparoscopy was the first approach to be used and it is c...
BACKGROUND: This paper investigates different types of crimped, braided sleeve used for a soft arm for robotic abdominal surgery, with the sleeve requ...
BACKGROUND: Partial splenectomy (PS) is a spleen-preserving technique that is applied as a result of trauma, focal lesions or hematological conditions...
BACKGROUND: In pediatric urology, robot-assisted surgery has overcome several impediments of conventional laparoscopy. However, workspace has a major ...
