A new and novel approach of predicting the body weight of children based on age and morphological facial features using a three-layer feed-forward artificial neural network (ANN) model is reported. The model takes in four parameters, including age-ba...
INTRODUCTION: Robotic surgery is a rapidly growing area in surgery. In an era of emphasis on cost reduction, the question becomes how do you train residents in robotic surgery? The aim of this study was to determine if there was a difference in opera...

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the rate of inpatient stay and the factors predicting inpatient status after robotic surgery for endometrial cancer following the change in the Medicare definition of "inpatient" to include hospitalization spanning 2 midnights.
We propose an automated framework for predicting gestational age (GA) and neurodevelopmental maturation of a fetus based on 3D ultrasound (US) brain image appearance. Our method capitalizes on age-related sonographic image patterns in conjunction wit...
BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (LDP) is increasing in popularity thanks to the benefits that have been recently demonstrated by many authors. The Da Vinci(®) Surgical System could overcome some limits of laparoscopy, helping the surge...

BACKGROUND: Augmented physical training with assistance from robot and neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) may introduce intensive motor improvement in chronic stroke.
INTRODUCTION: The length of stay of critically ill patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) is an indication of patient ICU resource usage and varies considerably. Planning of postoperative ICU admissions is important as ICUs often have no nonoccupi...

OBJECTIVE: To determine the pregnancy rate achieved through laparoscopic tubal reanastomosis using only standard 5 mm laparoscopic instruments and standard suturing material.
OBJECTIVES: To assess the clinical performance of robotic-assisted infra-renal aortic lymphadenectomy (IRL) using a single center-docked approach for patients with endometrial cancer.
Over the past 3 decades, various algorithms used to decompose the electromyographic (EMG) signal into its constituent motor unit action potentials (MUAPs) have been reported. All are limited to decomposing EMG signals from isometric contraction. In t...
