Otology & neurotology : official publication of the American Otological Society, American Neurotology Society [and] European Academy of Otology and Neurotology
HYPOTHESIS: To evaluate the feasibility and the results of insertion of two types of electrode arrays in a robotically assisted surgical approach.

Simultaneous Laparoscopic Resection of Primary Tumor and Liver Metastases for Colorectal Cancer: Surgical Technique and Short-Term Outcome.

Hepato-gastroenterology
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Laparoscopic approaches are increasingly used in selected patients with either colorectal or liver disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and feasibility of laparoscopy-assisted combined colorectal and liver resect...

A cable-driven wrist robotic rehabilitator using a novel torque-field controller for human motion training.

The Review of scientific instruments
Rehabilitation technologies have great potentials in assisted motion training for stroke patients. Considering that wrist motion plays an important role in arm dexterous manipulation of activities of daily living, this paper focuses on developing a c...

An experimental feasibility study on robotic endonasal telesurgery.

Neurosurgery
BACKGROUND: Novel robots have recently been developed specifically for endonasal surgery. They can deliver several thin, tentacle-like surgical instruments through a single nostril. Among the many potential advantages of such a robotic system is the ...

Developing a Standards-Based Information Model for Representing Computable Diagnostic Criteria: A Feasibility Study of the NQF Quality Data Model.

Studies in health technology and informatics
The lack of a standards-based information model has been recognized as a major barrier for representing computable diagnostic criteria. In this paper we describe our efforts in examining the feasibility of the Quality Data Model (QDM)-developed by th...

Automated Detection of Health Websites' HONcode Conformity: Can N-gram Tokenization Replace Stemming?

Studies in health technology and informatics
Authors evaluated supervised automatic classification algorithms for determination of health related web-page compliance with individual HONcode criteria of conduct using varying length character n-gram vectors to represent healthcare web page docume...

A Haptic Guided Robotic System for Endoscope Positioning and Holding.

Turkish neurosurgery
AIM: To determine the feasibility, advantages, and disadvantages of using a robot for holding and maneuvering the endoscope in transnasal transsphenoidal surgery.

Robotic-assisted laparoscopic transanal total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer: a prospective pilot study.

Diseases of the colon and rectum
BACKGROUND: We performed a prospective pilot study of robotic-assisted laparoscopic transanal proctectomy with total mesorectal excision for the surgical treatment of rectal cancer. This study was to assess the feasibility and safety of robotic-assis...
