Rediscovery of the transcerebellar approach: improving the risk-benefit ratio in robot-assisted brainstem biopsies.

Neurosurgical focus
OBJECTIVE: Conventional frame-based stereotaxy through a transfrontal approach (TFA) is the gold standard in brainstem biopsies. Because of the high surgical morbidity and limited impact on therapy, brainstem biopsies are controversial. The introduct...

Collaborative spinal robot system for laminectomy: a preliminary study.

Neurosurgical focus
OBJECTIVE: The application of robots in the field of pedicle screw placement has achieved great success. However, decompressive laminectomy, a step that is just as critical as pedicle screw placement, does not have a mature robot-assisted system. To ...

Dynamic Markers for Chaotic Motion in C. elegans.

Nonlinear dynamics, psychology, and life sciences
We describe the locomotion of Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) using nonlinear dynamics. C. elegans is a commonly studied model organism based on ease of maintenance and simple neurological structure. In contrast to traditional microscopic techniq...

Identifying Mild Cognitive Impairment by Using Human-Robot Interactions.

Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD
BACKGROUND: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI), which is common in older adults, is a risk factor for dementia. Rapidly growing health care demand associated with global population aging has spurred the development of new digital tools for the assessmen...

Robot-assisted radical cystectomy: surgical technique, perioperative and oncologic outcomes.

Current opinion in urology
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Radical cystectomy is a complex procedure that encompasses surgery involving the urinary, gastrointestinal tracts and the retroperitoneum, with significant morbidity. Robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) has been introduced to ...

Are robots the future? A case for robotic pyeloplasty as the gold standard treatment in ureteropelvic junction obstruction.

Current opinion in urology
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Robotic pyeloplasty is still a relatively novel procedure. Clinically, early studies have shown high success rates, decreased complication rates, decreased length of hospital stay, and better cosmetic results. This goal of this art...

Effects of robot-assisted trunk control training on trunk control ability and balance in patients with stroke: A randomized controlled trial.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
BACKGROUND: Trunk control ability is an important component of functional independence after the onset of stroke. Recently, it has been reported that robot-assisted functional training is effective for stroke patients. However, most studies on robot-...

Automation for Life Science Laboratories.

Advances in biochemical engineering/biotechnology
The automation of processes in all areas of the life sciences will continue to increase in the coming years due to an ever increasing number of samples to be processed, an increasing need to protect laboratory personnel from infectious material and i...

Development and usability evaluation of a bedside robot system for inpatients.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
BACKGROUND: Many inpatients become anxious or frightened about scheduled treatment processes, and medical staff do not have sufficient time to provide emotional support. The recent advancement of information and communications technology (ICT) and th...
