BACKGROUND: Prognostication is an essential tool for risk adjustment and decision making in the intensive care unit (ICU). Research into prognostication in ICU has so far been limited to data from admission or the first 24 hours. Most ICU admissions ...
BACKGROUND: Invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR) is a standard tool for identifying ischemia-producing coronary stenosis. However, in clinical practice, over 70% of treatment decisions still rely on visual estimation of angiographic stenosis, which...
BACKGROUND: Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) is an effective technique to help to locate and to delimit the epileptogenic area and/or to define relationships with functional cortical areas. We intend to describe the surgical technique and verify t...
Artificial intelligence (AI) is beginning to transform IMRT treatment planning for head and neck patients. However, the complexity and novelty of AI algorithms make them susceptible to misuse by researchers and clinicians. Understanding nuances of ne...
OBJECTIVE: Evaluation of intestinal viability is essential in surgical decision-making in patients with acute intestinal ischemia. There has been no substantial change in the mortality rate (30%-93%) of patients with acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) s...
Sepsis is the third leading cause of death worldwide and the main cause of mortality in hospitals, but the best treatment strategy remains uncertain. In particular, evidence suggests that current practices in the administration of intravenous fluids ...

BACKGROUND: Procalcitonin (PCT) is a well-established marker for bacterial infection. Recently the US Food and Drug Administration approved the expanded use of this biomarker to guide clinical decisions for antibiotic treatment in patients with lower...
Without haptic feedback, robotic surgeons rely on visual processing to interpret the operative field. To provide guidance for teaching in this environment, we analyzed intracorporeal actions and behaviors of a robotic surgeon. Six hours of video were...
The rapid proliferation of connectivity, availability of ubiquitous computing, miniaturization of sensors and communication technology, have changed healthcare in all its areas, creating the well-known healthcare paradigm of e-Health. In this paper, ...
