Miniaturized Magnetic Tip Design for Endoluminal Vine Robot Navigation

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A magnetic tip mount is designed for a miniaturized 7 mm soft‐growing vine robot to enable wireless magnetic steering and onboard imaging, while preserving a 3 mm working channel. The internal–external ring magnets design balances magnetic attachment with low eversion pressure. Experiments demonstrate ±90° steering, 34 mm bending radius, and successful

A Transnasal Endoscope for Robotically Assisted Gastroscopy

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work introduces a 4.25 mm diameter magnetically navigated transnasal endoscope for upper gastrointestinal (GI) screening and intervention. The system enables precise remote steering throughout the upper GI tract and is demonstrated through in vitro and in vivo experiments, including the robotic execution of preprogrammed retroflexions, trans ...

Post-Obstructive Pulmonary Edema: A Different Type of Pulmonary Edema

Amrita Journal of Medicine
Post-obstructive pulmonary edema (POPE) or negative pressure pulmonary edema is a unique clinical entity occurring in the context of airway obstruction. Two distinct subclasses of POPE have been described in literature: type I occurring in the setting of

Diagnostic accuracy of capnovolumetry for the identification of airway obstruction – results of a diagnostic study in ambulatory care

Respiratory Research, 2019
Background One of the known weaknesses of spirometry is its dependence on patients’ cooperation, which can only partially be alleviated by educational efforts. Therefore, procedures less dependent on cooperation might be of value in clinical practice. We

Ventilation challenge in rigid bronchoscopy: Laser tube as an alternative management in patients with lung cancer and central airway obstruction

Thoracic Cancer, 2023
Introduction Central airway tumors involving the trachea and main‐stem bronchi are a common cause of airway obstruction and a significant cause of mortality among the patients of thoracic diseases with respiratory failure. Debulking in rigid bronchoscopy

Interventional bronchoscopy for benign tracheobronchial diseases under cardiopulmonary bypass support: case reports and literature review [PDF]

, 2008
The use of cardiopulmonary bypass as an adjunct to airway surgery for non-malignant diseases in adults is not well established in the UK. We are reporting two cases which demonstrate the additional benefits of using cardiopulmonary bypass during ...
