Prospective evaluation of clarithromycin in recurrent chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps.

Brazilian journal of otorhinolaryngology
INTRODUCTION: The antiinflammatory effects of macrolides, especially clarithromycin, have been described in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis without polyps and also other chronic inflammatory airway diseases. There is no consensus in the literatu...

Design, characterization and optimization of a soft fluidic actuator for minimally invasive surgery.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: In minimally invasive surgery and endoscopy, the rise of soft robotics, using materials of similar softness as biological soft tissues, opens many new opportunities. Soft actuated catheters could become an alternative to current steerable ca...

Real-time artificial intelligence for detection of upper gastrointestinal cancer by endoscopy: a multicentre, case-control, diagnostic study.

The Lancet. Oncology
BACKGROUND: Upper gastrointestinal cancers (including oesophageal cancer and gastric cancer) are the most common cancers worldwide. Artificial intelligence platforms using deep learning algorithms have made remarkable progress in medical imaging but ...

Potential of automatic diagnosis system with linked color imaging for diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori infection.

Digestive endoscopy : official journal of the Japan Gastroenterological Endoscopy Society
BACKGROUND AND AIM: It is necessary to establish universal methods for endoscopic diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection, such as computer-aided diagnosis. In the present study, we propose a multistage diagnosis algorithm for HP infection.

Foot-Controlled Robot-Enabled EnDOscope Manipulator (FREEDOM) for Sinus Surgery: Design, Control, and Evaluation.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
Despite successful clinical applications, teleoperated robotic surgical systems face particular limitations in the functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) in terms of incompatible instrument dimensions and robot set-up. The endoscope remains manua...

An Integrated Sensor-Model Approach for Haptic Feedback of Flexible Endoscopic Robots.

Annals of biomedical engineering
Haptic feedback for flexible endoscopic surgical robots is challenging due to space constraints for sensors and shape-dependent force hysteresis of tendon-sheath mechanisms (TSMs). This paper proposes (1) a single-axis fiber Bragg grating (FBG)-based...

Automated classification of gastric neoplasms in endoscopic images using a convolutional neural network.

Endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Visual inspection, lesion detection, and differentiation between malignant and benign features are key aspects of an endoscopist's role. The use of machine learning for the recognition and differentiation of images has been increasingly a...
