Pain-free oral delivery of biologic drugs using intestinal peristalsis-actuated microneedle robots.

Science advances
Biologic drugs hold immense promise for medical treatments, but their oral delivery remains a daunting challenge due to the harsh digestive environment and restricted gastrointestinal absorption. Here, inspired by the porcupinefish's ability to infla...

Reclassification of ASFV into 7 Biotypes Using Unsupervised Machine Learning.

Viruses
In 2007, an outbreak of African swine fever (ASF), a deadly disease of domestic swine and wild boar caused by the African swine fever virus (ASFV), occurred in Georgia and has since spread globally. Historically, ASFV was classified into 25 different...

Towards Semi-Autonomous Colon Screening Using an Electromagnetically Actuated Soft-Tethered Colonoscope Based on Visual Servo Control.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Conventional colonoscopy using a flexible colonoscope remains two major limitations, including patient discomfort and difficult manipulations for surgeons. Robotic colonoscopes have been developed to conduct colonoscopy in a patient-friend...

Isolation and Pathogenicity Analysis of a G5P[23] Porcine Rotavirus Strain.

Viruses
(1) Background: Group A rotaviruses (RVAs) are the primary cause of severe intestinal diseases in piglets. Porcine rotaviruses (PoRVs) are widely prevalent in Chinese farms, resulting in significant economic losses to the livestock industry. However,...

Towards safer imaging: A comparative study of deep learning-based denoising and iterative reconstruction in intraindividual low-dose CT scans using an in-vivo large animal model.

European journal of radiology
PURPOSE: Computed tomography (CT) scans are a significant source of medically induced radiation exposure. Novel deep learning-based denoising (DLD) algorithms have been shown to enable diagnostic image quality at lower radiation doses than iterative ...

Impact of a pneumatic surgical robot with haptic feedback function on surgical manipulation.

Scientific reports
Although robotic-assisted surgery has the advantages of low patient burden and high precision without unsteady hand movements, the lack of tactile sensations may result in unexpected iatrogenic organ damage. The Saroa (Riverfield Inc., Tokyo, Japan) ...

Enhancing forensic investigations: Identifying bloodstains on various substrates through ATR-FTIR spectroscopy combined with machine learning algorithms.

Spectrochimica acta. Part A, Molecular and biomolecular spectroscopy
The forensic analysis of bloodstains on various substrates plays a crucial role in criminal investigations. This study presents a novel approach for analyzing bloodstains using Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (ATR...

Learning Skill Characteristics From Manipulations.

IEEE transactions on neural networks and learning systems
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has increasingly become the main treatment for coronary artery disease. The procedure requires high experienced skills and dexterous manipulations. However, there are few techniques to model PCI skill so far. ...

Deep learning catheter tip locations for photoacoustic-guided cardiac interventions.

Journal of biomedical optics
SIGNIFICANCE: Interventional cardiac procedures often require ionizing radiation to guide cardiac catheters to the heart. To reduce the associated risks of ionizing radiation, photoacoustic imaging can potentially be combined with robotic visual serv...

The use of a porcine model to teach advanced abdominal wall dissection techniques.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: In the era of minimally invasive surgery, it is clear that a robust simulation model is required for the training of surgeons in advanced abdominal wall reconstruction. The purpose of this experimentation was to evaluate whether a porcine...
