Evaluation of cancer drug infusion devices prior to the implementation of a compounding robot.

Journal of oncology pharmacy practice : official publication of the International Society of Oncology Pharmacy Practitioners
INTRODUCTION: Compounding robots are increasingly being implemented in hospital pharmacies. In our hospital, the recent acquisition of a robot (RIVA, ARxIUM) for intravenous cancer drug compounding obliged us to replace the previously used infusion d...

Deep learning for asbestos counting.

Journal of hazardous materials
The PCM (phase contrast microscopy) method for asbestos counting needs special sample treatments, hence it is time consuming and rather expensive. As an alternative, we implemented a deep learning procedure on images directly acquired from the untrea...

Deep Learning for the Automatic Quantification of Pleural Plaques in Asbestos-Exposed Subjects.

International journal of environmental research and public health
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to develop and validate an automated artificial intelligence (AI)-driven quantification of pleural plaques in a population of retired workers previously occupationally exposed to asbestos.

Radiation Protection and Occupational Exposure on Ga-PSMA-11-Based Cerenkov Luminescence Imaging Procedures in Robot-Assisted Prostatectomy.

Journal of nuclear medicine : official publication, Society of Nuclear Medicine
Cerenkov luminescence imaging (CLI) was successfully implemented in the intraoperative context as a form of radioguided cancer surgery, showing promise in the detection of surgical margins during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. The present stud...

Evaluation of external contamination on the vial surfaces of some hazardous drugs that commonly used in Chinese hospitals and comparison between environmental contamination generated during robotic compounding by IV: Dispensing robot vs. manual compounding in biological safety cabinet.

Journal of oncology pharmacy practice : official publication of the International Society of Oncology Pharmacy Practitioners
OBJECTIVES: The aims of the study were to evaluate the external contamination of hazardous drug vials used in Chinese hospitals and to compare environmental contamination generated by a robotic intelligent dispensing system (WEINAS) and a manual comp...

Potential of deep learning in assessing pneumoconiosis depicted on digital chest radiography.

Occupational and environmental medicine
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the potential of deep learning in assessing pneumoconiosis depicted on digital chest radiographs and to compare its performance with certified radiologists.

Hardhat-Wearing Detection Based on a Lightweight Convolutional Neural Network with Multi-Scale Features and a Top-Down Module.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Construction sites are dangerous due to the complex interaction of workers with equipment, building materials, vehicles, etc. As a kind of protective gear, hardhats are crucial for the safety of people on construction sites. Therefore, it is necessar...

Robotic direct reading device with spatial, temporal, and PID sensors for laboratory VOC exposure assessment.

Journal of occupational and environmental hygiene
This study evaluated a novel robotic direct reading method that used a real-time location system to measure the spatial-concentration distribution of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in a chemistry laboratory. The CEMWIP II is a custom-made sensor t...

Reduction of operator radiation exposure using a passive robotic device during fluoroscopy-guided arterial puncture: an experimental study in a swine model.

European radiology experimental
BACKGROUND: Vascular interventions imply radiation exposure to the operating physician (OP). To reduce radiation exposure, we propose a novel passive robotic device for fluoroscopy-guided arterial puncturing.

Performance of machine-learning algorithms to pattern recognition and classification of hearing impairment in Brazilian farmers exposed to pesticide and/or cigarette smoke.

Environmental science and pollution research international
The use of pesticides has been increasing in agriculture, leading to a public health problem. The aim of this study was to evaluate ototoxic effects in farmers who were exposed to cigarette smoke and/or pesticides and to identify possible classificat...
