Propensity score-matched analysis of the short-term outcomes of robotic versus laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer.

Asian journal of endoscopic surgery
PURPOSE: The advantages of robot-assisted rectal surgery (RARS) over conventional laparoscope-assisted rectal surgery (LARS) remain controversial. This study was performed to compare the short-term outcomes of RARS and LARS.

Chasing the cheetah: how field biomechanics has evolved to keep up with the fastest land animal.

The Journal of experimental biology
Studying the motion of cheetahs - especially in the wild - is a technically challenging endeavour that pushes the limits of field biomechanics methodology. Consequently, it provides an interesting example of the scientific symbiosis that exists betwe...

Analysis of scene-guided camera assistance in transaxillary gasless endoscopic thyroidectomy: a minor improvement in operative technique.

Frontiers in endocrinology
BACKGROUND: Transaxillary gasless endoscopic thyroidectomy (TGET) is a widely performed operation, but its side view angle and instrument interference have caused concerns for most surgical groups. The aim of this study was to introduce scene-guided ...

Robot-assisted radical nephrectomy for Wilms' tumor in children.

Journal of pediatric urology
INTRODUCTION: Surgical removal of the tumor is a key step in the management of nephroblastoma. Less invasive surgical approaches such as robot-assisted radical nephrectomy (RARN) has gained momentum over the past few years. This video presents a comp...

Underwater legged robotics: review and perspectives.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Nowadays, there is a growing awareness on the social and economic importance of the ocean. In this context, being able to carry out a diverse range of operations underwater is of paramount importance for many industrial sectors as well as for marine ...

Fuzzy Adaptive Passive Control Strategy Design for Upper-Limb End-Effector Rehabilitation Robot.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Robot-assisted rehabilitation therapy has been proven to effectively improve upper-limb motor function in stroke patients. However, most current rehabilitation robotic controllers will provide too much assistance force and focus only on the patient's...

Revisiting the video deficit in technology-saturated environments: Successful imitation from people, screens, and social robots.

Journal of experimental child psychology
The "video deficit" is a well-documented effect whereby children learn less well about information delivered via a screen than the same information delivered in person. Research suggests that increasing social contingency may ameliorate this video de...

Bifunctional robots inducing targeted protein degradation.

European journal of medicinal chemistry
The gaining importance of Targeted Protein Degradation (TPD) and PROTACs (PROteolysis-TArgeting Chimeras) have drawn the scientific community's attention. PROTACs are considered bifunctional robots owing to their avidity for the protein of interest (...
