[Samii: a robotic mediation application to improve geriatric care].

Soins. Gerontologie
The emergence of social robots in gerontology has introduced new playful and reassuring media into nursing homes and geriatric wards. Despite promising results, their complexity hinders their widespread adoption. The Intelligent Interactive Care Syst...

Verification of image quality improvement by deep learning reconstruction to 1.5 T MRI in T2-weighted images of the prostate gland.

Radiological physics and technology
This study aimed to evaluate whether the image quality of 1.5 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the prostate is equal to or higher than that of 3 T MRI by applying deep learning reconstruction (DLR). To objectively analyze the images from the 13 ...

Surgical Intelligence Can Lead to Higher Adoption of Best Practices in Minimally Invasive Surgery.

Annals of surgery
OBJECTIVE: To examine the use of surgical intelligence for automatically monitoring critical view of safety (CVS) in laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) in a real-world quality initiative.

Radiation dose reduction and image quality improvement with ultra-high resolution temporal bone CT using deep learning-based reconstruction: An anatomical study.

Diagnostic and interventional imaging
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the achievable radiation dose reduction of an ultra-high resolution computed tomography (UHR-CT) scanner using deep learning reconstruction (DLR) while maintaining temporal bone image quality equal t...

Validation of a natural language processing algorithm using national reporting data to improve identification of anesthesia-related ADVerse evENTs: The "ADVENTURE" study.

Anaesthesia, critical care & pain medicine
BACKGROUND: Reporting and analysis of adverse events (AE) is associated with improved health system learning, quality outcomes, and patient safety. Manual text analysis is time-consuming, costly, and prone to human errors. We aimed to demonstrate the...

The Laryngoscope
OBJECTIVE: Accurate prediction of hospital length of stay (LOS) following surgical management of oral cavity cancer (OCC) may be associated with improved patient counseling, hospital resource utilization and cost. The objective of this study was to c...

Pediatric endoscopy: how can we improve patient outcomes and ensure best practices?

Expert review of gastroenterology & hepatology
INTRODUCTION: Strategies to promote high-quality endoscopy in children require consensus around pediatric-specific quality standards and indicators. Using a rigorous guideline development process, the international Pediatric Endoscopy Quality Improve...

Systematic evaluation of common natural language processing techniques to codify clinical notes.

PloS one
Proper codification of medical diagnoses and procedures is essential for optimized health care management, quality improvement, research, and reimbursement tasks within large healthcare systems. Assignment of diagnostic or procedure codes is a tediou...

Verification of image quality improvement of low-count bone scintigraphy using deep learning.

Radiological physics and technology
To improve image quality for low-count bone scintigraphy using deep learning and evaluate their clinical applicability. Six hundred patients (training, 500; validation, 50; evaluation, 50) were included in this study. Low-count original images (75%, ...
