Robotic "Double Loop" Roux-en-Y gastric bypass reduces the risk of postoperative internal hernias: a prospective observational study.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Internal herniation (IH) is a potentially serious complication after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). The aim of the study is to evaluate the incidence of IH after robot-assisted RYGB (RA-RYGB) performed with the "Double Loop...

Deep learning-based automated detection algorithm for active pulmonary tuberculosis on chest radiographs: diagnostic performance in systematic screening of asymptomatic individuals.

European radiology
OBJECTIVES: Performance of deep learning-based automated detection (DLAD) algorithms in systematic screening for active pulmonary tuberculosis is unknown. We aimed to validate DLAD algorithm for detection of active pulmonary tuberculosis and any radi...

A machine learning approach to optimizing cell-free DNA sequencing panels: with an application to prostate cancer.

BMC cancer
BACKGROUND: Cell-free DNA's (cfDNA) use as a biomarker in cancer is challenging due to genetic heterogeneity of malignancies and rarity of tumor-derived molecules. Here we describe and demonstrate a novel machine-learning guided panel design strategy...

Progressive Multiple Sclerosis Transcriptome Deconvolution Indicates Increased M2 Macrophages in Inactive Lesions.

European neurology
Accumulating evidence suggests M2 macrophages contribute to tissue reparation and limit inflammation in multiple sclerosis (MS). However, most studies have focused on murine models without substantial support through human MS observations. The presen...

Mechanics of walking and running up and downhill: A joint-level perspective to guide design of lower-limb exoskeletons.

PloS one
Lower-limb wearable robotic devices can improve clinical gait and reduce energetic demand in healthy populations. To help enable real-world use, we sought to examine how assistance should be applied in variable gait conditions and suggest an approach...

Attitudes and perceptions of dental students towards artificial intelligence.

Journal of dental education
INTRODUCTION: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a burning topic and use of AI in our day-to-day life has increased exponentially. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the attitudes and perceptions of Turkish dental students towards AI and to provi...

Using social robot PLEO to enhance the well-being of hospitalised children.

Journal of child health care : for professionals working with children in the hospital and community
Hospitalisation is stressful for children. Play material is often offered for distraction and comfort. We explored how contact with social robot PLEO could positively affect a child's well-being. To this end, we performed a multiple case study on the...

Exploring augmented grasping capabilities in a multi-synergistic soft bionic hand.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: State-of-the-art bionic hands incorporate hi-tech devices which try to overcome limitations of conventional single grip systems. Unfortunately, their complexity often limits mechanical robustness and intuitive prosthesis control. Recently...

Neurocognitive robot-assisted rehabilitation of hand function: a randomized control trial on motor recovery in subacute stroke.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Hand function is often impaired after stroke, strongly affecting the ability to perform daily activities. Upper limb robotic devices have been developed to complement rehabilitation therapy offered to persons who suffered a stroke, but th...

Computer Kinesiology: New Diagnostic and Therapeutic Tool for Lower Back Pain Treatment (Pilot Study).

BioMed research international
The aim of this study was to demonstrate the effectiveness of the diagnostic and therapeutic medical information system Computer Kinesiology in physiotherapy in patients with low back pain who were not responding to conventional therapy. Computer Kin...
