Retrospective evaluation of the improvement in the urinary status-related quality of life after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.

International journal of urology : official journal of the Japanese Urological Association
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of patients who report improvement in quality of life (QOL) related to urinary status after undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) for localized prostate cancer.

The role of artificial intelligence in the future of urogynecology.

International urogynecology journal
Artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine is a rapidly growing field aimed at using machine learning models to improve health outcomes and patient experiences. Many new platforms have become accessible and therefore it seems inevitable that we conside...

Molecular bases of comorbidities: present and future perspectives.

Trends in genetics : TIG
Co-occurrence of diseases decreases patient quality of life, complicates treatment choices, and increases mortality. Analyses of electronic health records present a complex scenario of comorbidity relationships that vary by age, sex, and cohort under...

Novel use of robot-assisted gait rehabilitation in a patient with stroke and blindness.

BMJ case reports
Robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) is an effective adjunctive treatment for patients with stroke that helps to regain functional mobility and is applied in many rehabilitation units for poststroke neurorecovery. We discuss our successful attempt to ...

Beyond Plan-Do-Study-Act cycle - staff perceptions on facilitators and barriers to the implementation of telepresence robots in long-term care.

BMC health services research
BACKGROUND: Quality improvement (QI) programs with technology implementations have been introduced to long-term care (LTC) to improve residents' quality of life. Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycle is commonly adopted in QI projects. There should be an ap...

Surgical outcomes and patient-centred perioperative programs.

Journal of clinical monitoring and computing
Perioperative medicine is changing, and its goals are expanding. More and more attention is paid to the surgical experience and the patient's quality of life. Patient-reported data represent a useful tool in this context. Patient-reported outcomes me...

Laparoscopic versus robotic abdominal and pelvic surgery: a systematic review of randomised controlled trials.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: The current evidence is inconclusive on whether robotic or laparoscopic surgery is the optimal platform for minimally invasive surgery. Existing comparisons techniques focus on short-term outcomes only, while potentially being confounded ...

New era of artificial intelligence and machine learning-based detection, diagnosis, and therapeutics in Parkinson's disease.

Ageing research reviews
Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by the loss of neuronal cells, which leads to synaptic dysfunction and cognitive defects. Despite the advancements in treatment strategies, the management of PD is still a challenging event. Early prediction ...

Deep Learning Identifies Intelligible Predictors of Poor Prognosis in Chronic Kidney Disease.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Early diagnosis and prediction of chronic kidney disease (CKD) progress within a given duration are critical to ensure personalized treatment, which could improve patients' quality of life and prolong survival time. In this study, we explore the inte...

Closed-Chain Inverse Dynamics for the Biomechanical Analysis of Manual Material Handling Tasks through a Deep Learning Assisted Wearable Sensor Network.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Despite the automatization of many industrial and logistics processes, human workers are still often involved in the manual handling of loads. These activities lead to many work-related disorders that reduce the quality of life and the productivity o...
