In the last few years, it was proposed to deliver drugs using Nano-robots for treating cancer. This paper compares between two recent and efficient algorithms for delivering Nano-robots to cancer area. These algorithms are Jaya algorithm and Directed...
The EAU guidelines panel on muscle-invasive and metastatic bladder cancer (MIBC) recently recommended open radical cystectomy (ORC) as the best surgical approach for MIBC patients. We critically re-examine the indications for considering ORC as the f...
BACKGROUND: Sarcopenia, a syndrome characterized by the loss of skeletal muscle mass, has attracted attention in the field of oncology, as it reflects poor nutritional status. The present study aimed to determine the risk factors for postoperative in...
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to identify the results of the quality assessment and the learning curve of robot-assisted minimally invasive McKeown esophagectomy (RAMIE-MK).
Self-healing materials are indispensable for soft actuators and robots that operate in dynamic and real-world environments, as these machines are vulnerable to mechanical damage. However, current self-healing materials have shortcomings that limit th...
Trans-radial prosthesis is a wearable device that intends to help amputees under the elbow to replace the function of the missing anatomical segment that resembles an actual human hand. However, there are some challenging aspects faced mainly on the ...
