BACKGROUND: Most currently used surgical robots have no force feedback; the next generation displays forces visually. A novel single-port robotic surgical system called FLEXMIN has been developed. Through an outer diameter of 38 mm, two instruments a...
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether training with a brain-computer interface (BCI) to control an image of a phantom hand, which moves based on cortical currents estimated from magnetoencephalographic signals, reduces phantom limb pain.

BACKGROUND: Measuring the quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is important for improving outcomes in cardiac arrest. Cerebral perfusion pressure (CePP) could represent cerebral circulation during CPR, but it is difficult to measure non-inv...
Background Previous studies assessing the effects of computer-aided detection on observer performance in the reading of chest radiographs used a sequential reading design that may have biased the results because of reading order or recall bias. Purpo...
Gait disorders represent one of the most disabling aspects in multiple sclerosis (MS) that strongly influence patient quality of life. The improvement of walking ability is a primary goal for rehabilitation treatment. The aim of this study is to eva...
BACKGROUND: The initial phases of robotic surgical skills acquisition are associated with poor technical performance, such as low knot-tensile strength (KTS). Transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) can improve force and accuracy in motor task...
The automatic segmentation of the pancreatic cyst lesion (PCL) is essential for the automated diagnosis of pancreatic cyst lesions on endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) images. In this study, we proposed a deep-learning approach for PCL segmentation on...

BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted hand training has shown positive effects on promoting neuromuscular control. Since both robot-assisted therapy and task-oriented training are often used in post-stroke rehabilitation, we raised the question of whether two i...
