Colonoscopy with robotic steering and automated lumen centralization: a feasibility study in a colon model.

Endoscopy
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS: We introduced a new platform for performing colonoscopy with robotic steering and automated lumen centralization (RS-ALC) and evaluated its technical feasibility.

The H2 robotic exoskeleton for gait rehabilitation after stroke: early findings from a clinical study.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Stroke significantly affects thousands of individuals annually, leading to considerable physical impairment and functional disability. Gait is one of the most important activities of daily living affected in stroke survivors. Recent techn...

A remotely piloted aircraft system in major incident management: concept and pilot, feasibility study.

BMC emergency medicine
BACKGROUND: Major incidents are complex, dynamic and bewildering task environments characterised by simultaneous, rapidly changing events, uncertainty and ill-structured problems. Efficient management, communication, decision-making and allocation of...

Natural Language Processing for Real-Time Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infection Surveillance: Results of a Pilot Implementation Trial.

Infection control and hospital epidemiology
BACKGROUND: Incidence of catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is a quality benchmark. To streamline conventional detection methods, an electronic surveillance system augmented with natural language processing (NLP), which gathers data ...

Could machine learning improve the prediction of pelvic nodal status of prostate cancer patients? Preliminary results of a pilot study.

Cancer investigation
We tested and compared performances of Roach formula, Partin tables and of three Machine Learning (ML) based algorithms based on decision trees in identifying N+ prostate cancer (PC). 1,555 cN0 and 50 cN+ PC were analyzed. Results were also verified ...

Acceptability and usability of a telepresence robot for geriatric primary care: A pilot.

Geriatric nursing (New York, N.Y.)
The dual challenge of increasing numbers of older adults and overall increases in those with some form of insurance is driving the need to develop and evaluate novel methods of primary care delivery such as telehealth. The goal of this study was to e...

Anatomical features of skull base and oral cavity: a pilot study to determine the accessibility of the sella by transoral robotic-assisted surgery.

Neurosurgical review
The role of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) in the skull base emerges and represents the natural progression toward miniinvasive resections in confined spaces. The accessibility of the sella via TORS has been recently described on fresh human cadave...

Machine learning methods for the classification of gliomas: Initial results using features extracted from MR spectroscopy.

The neuroradiology journal
CONTEXT: With the advent of new imaging modalities, radiologists are faced with handling increasing volumes of data for diagnosis and treatment planning. The use of automated and intelligent systems is becoming essential in such a scenario. Machine l...

Efficacy of robot-assisted fingers training in chronic stroke survivors: a pilot randomized-controlled trial.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: While constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) is one of the most promising techniques for upper limb rehabilitation after stroke, it requires high residual function to start with. Robotic device, on the other hand, can provide intentio...

Automated pancreatic cyst screening using natural language processing: a new tool in the early detection of pancreatic cancer.

HPB : the official journal of the International Hepato Pancreato Biliary Association
INTRODUCTION: As many as 3% of computed tomography (CT) scans detect pancreatic cysts. Because pancreatic cysts are incidental, ubiquitous and poorly understood, follow-up is often not performed. Pancreatic cysts may have a significant malignant pote...
