BACKGROUND: Day surgery has been widely carried out in medical developed countries such as Europe and the United States with high efficiency, safety and economy. The development of thoracic day surgery started late, and currently only a few top three...
PURPOSE: The long acquisition time of CBCT discourages repeat verification imaging, therefore increasing treatment uncertainty. In this study, we present a fast volumetric imaging method for lung cancer radiation therapy using an orthogonal 2D kV/MV ...
. Range uncertainty is a major concern affecting the delivery precision in proton therapy. The Compton camera (CC)-based prompt-gamma (PG) imaging is a promising technique to provide 3Drange verification. However, the conventional back-projected PG i...
Robot-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) for higher stages non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) remains controversial. This study reports the feasibility of RATS in patients with stages IIB-IVA NSCLC. A single-institute, retrospective study was conduc...
OBJECTIVES: To report a single centre's experience of the feasibility, safety and patient acceptability of same-day discharge robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP).
IMPORTANCE: Many clinical trial outcomes are documented in free-text electronic health records (EHRs), making manual data collection costly and infeasible at scale. Natural language processing (NLP) is a promising approach for measuring such outcomes...
BACKGROUND: Infants are unable to self-report their pain, which, therefore, often goes underrecognized and undertreated. Adequate assessment of pain, including procedural pain, which has short- and long-term consequences, is critical for its manageme...
