INTRODUCTION: To investigate factors predictive of length of stay (LOS) after robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) in an effort to identify patients suitable for RPN with overnight stay at outpatient surgical facilities.
STUDY OBJECTIVE: Robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy requires patients to be secured in a steep Trendelenburg position for several hours. Added to the CO2 pneumoperitoneum that is created, this positioning invariably restricts diaphragmatic a...
BACKGROUND: The determination of risk factors and their temporal relations in natural language patient records is a complex task which has been addressed in the i2b2/UTHealth 2014 shared task. In this context, in most systems it was broadly decompose...
BACKGROUND: Heart rate variability (HRV) has been widely used in the non-invasive evaluation of cardiovascular function. Recent studies have also attached great importance to the cardiac diastolic period variability (DPV) examination. Short-term vari...
Heart disease is the leading cause of death globally and a significant part of the human population lives with it. A number of risk factors have been recognized as contributing to the disease, including obesity, coronary artery disease (CAD), hyperte...

BACKGROUND: To report the perioperative, functional and oncological outcomes of salvage robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (s-RARP) in a propensity score-matched analysis.
This paper describes a supervised machine learning approach for identifying heart disease risk factors in clinical text, and assessing the impact of annotation granularity and quality on the system's ability to recognize these risk factors. We utiliz...
OBJECTIVE: To describe the technique of robotic buccal mucosa graft ureteroplasty as a minimally invasive alternative method of ureteral reconstruction for proximal or multifocal ureteral strictures not amenable to primary anastomosis.
