This review provides a comprehensive exploration of how artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping medical education and the role of traditional textbooks. The historical context underscores the evolution of medical knowledge bridging past advances wi...
BACKGROUND: Early detection is essential in lung cancer survival. Lung screening or incidental detection on unrelated imaging holds the most promise for early detection. With the large volume of imaging performed today, management of incidental pulmo...
BACKGROUND: We previously showed that machine learning-based methodologies of optimal classification trees (OCTs) can accurately predict risk after congenital heart surgery and assess case-mix-adjusted performance after benchmark procedures. We exten...
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have evaluated the learning curve to achieve competency in robotic-assisted coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) but have not identified thresholds for mastery. Robotic-assisted CABG is a minimally invasive alternative ...
BACKGROUND: The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Predicted Risk of Mortality (STS-PROM) estimates mortality risk only for certain common procedures (eg, coronary artery bypass or valve surgery) and is cumbersome, requiring greater than 60 inputs. We hypo...
We experienced 3 cases of port-access robot-assisted totally endoscopic technique for mitral valve repair and concomitant coronary artery bypass. The right internal mammary artery was harvested, mitral valve was fixed, and the right internal mammary ...
BACKGROUND: This study compares the short- and long-term outcomes of open vs robotic vs video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy for stage II-IIIA non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
