Efficient SARS-CoV-2 Quantitative Reverse Transcriptase PCR Saliva Diagnostic Strategy utilizing Open-Source Pipetting Robots.

Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE
The emergence of the recent SARS-CoV-2 global health crisis introduced key challenges for epidemiological research and clinical testing. Characterized by a high rate of transmission and low mortality, the COVID-19 pandemic necessitated accurate and e...

Robot Localization in Tunnels: Combining Discrete Features in a Pose Graph Framework.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Robot localization inside tunnels is a challenging task due to the special conditions of these environments. The GPS-denied nature of these scenarios, coupled with the low visibility, slippery and irregular surfaces, and lack of distinguishable visua...

The diagnostic levels of evidence of instrumented devices for measuring viscoelastic joint properties and spasticity; a systematic review.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Many diagnostic robotic devices have been developed to quantify viscoelastic properties and spasticity of patients with upper motor neuron lesions. However, in clinical practice, subjective and nonvalid clinical scales are still commonly ...

Rates and risk factors of intrapedicular accuracy and cranial facet joint violation among robot-assisted, fluoroscopy-guided percutaneous, and freehand techniques in pedicle screw fixation of thoracolumbar fractures: a comparative cohort study.

BMC surgery
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted (RA) technique has been increasingly applied in clinical practice, providing promising outcomes of inserting accuracy and cranial facet joint protection. However, studies comparing this novel method with other assisted meth...

A prospective cohort study of the accuracy and safety of robot-assisted minimally invasive spinal surgery.

BMC surgery
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted open surgery (RA-OS) is now commonly used in traditional open-exposure spinal screw placement surgery. With the help of robots, robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RA-MIS) can achieve less bleeding and less tissue da...

Robot-Assisted Kidney Transplantation: Initial Experience with a Modified Hypothermia Technique.

Urologia internationalis
INTRODUCTION: The aim of the study was to report our initial experience of robot-assisted kidney transplantation (RAKT) with a modified hypothermia technique.

Early experience with the ARTISENTIAL articulated instruments in laparoscopic low anterior resection with TME.

Techniques in coloproctology
BACKGROUND: The notion of articulation in surgery has been largely synonymous with robotics. The ARTISENTIAL instruments aim at bringing advanced articulation to laparoscopy to overcome challenges in narrow anatomical spaces. In this paper, we presen...

Safety of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy in an Italian spoke hospital: Long-term oncologic and functional outcomes with median 11.3 years follow-up.

Urologia
INTRODUCTION: Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) long-term oncologic outcomes were published in few studies. This paper provides a complete overview of RARP long-term oncologic and functional results produced in an Italian spoke hospital.
