Effect of Tracheal Cuff Shape on Intracuff Pressure Change During Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Surgery: The Tapered-Shaped Cuff Tube Versus the Cylindrical-Shaped Cuff Tube.

Journal of laparoendoscopic & advanced surgical techniques. Part A
BACKGROUND: Although the cuff of tracheal tubes can reduce airflow leakage and prevent aspiration, excessive intracuff pressure can cause tracheal mucosal injury. Robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) can increase intracuff pressure by the Trend...

Cost-efficient FPGA implementation of basal ganglia and their Parkinsonian analysis.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
The basal ganglia (BG) comprise multiple subcortical nuclei, which are responsible for cognition and other functions. Developing a brain-machine interface (BMI) demands a suitable solution for the real-time implementation of a portable BG. In this st...

Robotic versus laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy for treatment of prolapse of the apical segment of the vagina: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

International urogynecology journal
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: Pelvic organ prolapse shows an increasing prevalence (3-50 %). The gold standard treatment for apical prolapse is sacrocolpopexy, which can be performed via minimal access (conventional laparoscopy or robotic surgery) or ...

Evolution of Self-Organized Task Specialization in Robot Swarms.

PLoS computational biology
Division of labor is ubiquitous in biological systems, as evidenced by various forms of complex task specialization observed in both animal societies and multicellular organisms. Although clearly adaptive, the way in which division of labor first evo...

Uroflow Stop Test and Potency Recovery: A Surrogate for Pelvic Floor Integrity Post Robotic-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy?

Urology
OBJECTIVE: To study the relation between uroflow Stop Test and early recovery of potency following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). We recently showed that the ability to completely stop urine flow during voiding, measured objectively by ...

Tactile soft-sparse mean fluid-flow imaging with a robotic whisker array.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
An array of whiskers is critical to many mammals to survive in their environment. However, current engineered systems generally employ vision, radar or sonar to explore the surroundings, not having sufficiently benefited from tactile perception. Insp...
