Collision Avoidance and Stability Study of a Self-Reconfigurable Drainage Robot.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The inspection and maintenance of drains with varying heights necessitates a drain mapping robot with trained labour to maintain community hygiene and prevent the spread of diseases. For adapting to level changes and navigating in the narrow confined...

Automated CT registration tool improves sensitivity to change in ventricular volume in patients with shunts and drains.

The British journal of radiology
OBJECTIVE: CT is the mainstay imaging modality for assessing change in ventricular volume in patients with ventricular shunts or external ventricular drains (EVDs). We evaluated the performance of a novel fully automated CT registration and subtracti...

Application of deep learning-based computer-aided detection system: detecting pneumothorax on chest radiograph after biopsy.

European radiology
OBJECTIVES: To retrospectively evaluate the diagnostic performance of a convolutional neural network (CNN) model in detecting pneumothorax on chest radiographs obtained after percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy (PTNB) for pulmonary lesions.

Risk factors for predicting increased surgical drain output in patients after anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion.

Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research
BACKGROUND: Although measures to reduce and treat the postoperative surgical drain output are discussed, along with the increased interest in causative factors related to the prevention and treatment reported by many studies, these are still controve...

Percutaneous Transhepatic Gallbladder Drainage Combined with Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

Journal of laparoendoscopic & advanced surgical techniques. Part A
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical effect of the laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) after percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGD) in elder acute cholecystitis.

Spontaneous Intraventricular Hemorrhage: When Should Intraventricular tPA Be Considered?

Seminars in respiratory and critical care medicine
Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the most common cause of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in adults. Complicating approximately 40% of ICH cases, IVH adds to the morbidity and mortality of this often fatal form of stroke. It is also a ...

Is peri-operative urethral catheter drainage enough? The case for stentless pediatric robotic pyeloplasty.

Journal of pediatric urology
BACKGROUND: The necessity for urinary diversion with trans-anastomotic ureteral stenting during pyeloplasty is currently under debate. Performing a stentless repair could eliminate stent-related morbidity, including: stent migration, urinary tract in...
