Human upper-limb force capacities evaluation with robotic models for ergonomic applications: effect of elbow flexion.

Computer methods in biomechanics and biomedical engineering
The aim of this study was to apply models derived from the robotics field to evaluate the human upper-limb force generation capacity. Four models were compared: the force ellipsoid (FE) and force polytope (FP) based on unit joint torques and the scal...

Objective assessment of robotic surgical skill using instrument contact vibrations.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Surgical skill evaluation ordinarily requires tedious video review and survey completion, while new automatic approaches focus on evaluating the quality of the surgeon's movements in free space. Robotic surgical instrument vibrations are ...

Influence of the central venous site on the transpulmonary thermodilution parameters in critically ill burn patients.

Burns : journal of the International Society for Burn Injuries
The aim of this study was to verify the measurement concordance of cardiac index (CI), extra-vascular lung water index (EVLWI) and global end diastolic volume index (GEDVI) with transpulmonary thermodilution (TPTD) between the jugular and femoral acc...

Robotic retroperitoneal lymph node dissection in gynaecological neoplasms: comparison of extraperitoneal and transperitoneal lymphadenectomy.

Archives of gynecology and obstetrics
OBJECTIVE: The main aim of our study is to review the till now available literature data on the role of robotic retroperitoneal lymph node dissection in gynaecological cancers by comparing the extraperitoneal versus the transperitoneal approach.

A risk management model for familial breast cancer: A new application using Fuzzy Cognitive Map method.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
Breast cancer is the most deadly disease affecting women and thus it is natural for women aged 40-49 years (who have a family history of breast cancer or other related cancers) to assess their personal risk for developing familial breast cancer (FBC)...

Combined Clinic-Home Approach for Upper Limb Robotic Therapy After Stroke: A Pilot Study.

Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility of a combined clinic-home intervention using a robotic elbow brace and, secondarily, to collect preliminary data on the efficacy of this clinic-home intervention.

Laparoscopic and robot-assisted hysterectomy for uterine cancer: a comparison of costs and complications.

American journal of obstetrics and gynecology
OBJECTIVE: Increasingly, robotic surgery is being used for total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and lymph node dissection for uterine cancer. The purpose of this study was to compare the costs and complications among women undergoing ...

Computational Discrimination of Breast Cancer for Korean Women Based on Epidemiologic Data Only.

Journal of Korean medical science
Breast cancer is the second leading cancer for Korean women and its incidence rate has been increasing annually. If early diagnosis were implemented with epidemiologic data, the women could easily assess breast cancer risk using internet. National Ca...

Infraclavicular first rib resection for the treatment of acute venous thoracic outlet syndrome.

Journal of vascular surgery. Venous and lymphatic disorders
OBJECTIVE: Venous thoracic outlet syndrome (VTOS) is most commonly treated by transaxillary, supraclavicular, or paraclavicular approaches, based on surgeon preference. However, we have adopted an infraclavicular approach to VTOS as the surgical path...

Predicting workload profiles of brain-robot interface and electromygraphic neurofeedback with cortical resting-state networks: personal trait or task-specific challenge?

Journal of neural engineering
OBJECTIVE: Novel rehabilitation strategies apply robot-assisted exercises and neurofeedback tasks to facilitate intensive motor training. We aimed to disentangle task-specific and subject-related contributions to the perceived workload of these inter...
