Review of different platforms to perform rapid onsite evaluation via telecytology.

Cytopathology : official journal of the British Society for Clinical Cytology
There is increased utilisation of cytopathology to provide a rapid onsite evaluation (ROSE) of fine needle aspiration and touch preparations of small biopsies. A well-executed ROSE procedure can significantly impact the diagnostic quality and appropr...

Effects of the Level of Interactivity of a Social Robot and the Response of the Augmented Reality Display in Contextual Interactions of People with Dementia.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The well-being of people with dementia (PWD) living in long-term care facilities is hindered due to disengagement and social isolation. Animal-like social robots are increasingly used in dementia care as they can provide companionship and engage PWD ...

Single-institution Cost Comparison: Single-port Versus Multiport Robotic Prostatectomy.

European urology focus
BACKGROUND: In the era of efficient value-based health care, each surgical innovation should be proven to be cost-effective for the patient and the hospital administration.

Single-port transoral robotic combined approach with sialendoscopy for sialolithiasis: Case report and review of the literature.

Head & neck
BACKGROUND: The da Vinci single-port (SP) is utilized in transoral robotic surgery (TORS) procedures for malignant oropharyngeal tumors. We report a case utilizing the da Vinci SP in TORS for sialolith removal.

Effect of different general anaesthetics on ventricular repolarisation in robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy.

Acta anaesthesiologica Scandinavica
BACKGROUND: Ventricular repolarisation is affected differently by the types of anaesthetics used. This study aimed to compare the effect of different types of anaesthetics on ventricular repolarisation during robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prost...

Gait improvements by assisting hip movements with the robot in children with cerebral palsy: a pilot randomized controlled trial.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Recently, rehabilitation robots are expected to improve the gait of cerebral palsy (CP) children. However, only few previous studies have reported the kinematic and kinetic changes by using wearable exoskeleton robots. The aim of this stu...

State-of-the-art of intelligent minimally invasive surgical robots.

Frontiers of medicine
A number of developed countries are rapidly turning into super-aged societies. Consequently, the demand for reduced surgical invasiveness and enhanced efficiency in the medical field has increased due to the need to reduce the physical burden on olde...

Statistical measures of motor, sensory and cognitive performance across repeated robot-based testing.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Traditional clinical assessments are used extensively in neurology; however, they can be coarse, which can also make them insensitive to change. Kinarm is a robotic assessment system that has been used for precise assessment of individual...

Promoting clinical best practice in a user-centred design study of an upper limb rehabilitation robot.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: Despite their promise to increase therapy intensity in neurorehabilitation, robotic devices have not yet seen mainstream adoption. Whilst there are a number of contributing factors, it is obvious that the treating clinician should have a cle...

Evaluating the task effectiveness and user satisfaction with different operation modes of an assistive bathing robot in older adults.

Assistive technology : the official journal of RESNA
Bathing robots have the potential to foster the independence of older adults who require assistance with bathing. Making human-robot interaction (HRI) for older persons as easy, effective, and user-satisfying as possible is, however, a major challeng...
