Shape Manipulation of Bevel-Tip Needles for Prostate Biopsy Procedures: A Comparison of Two Resolved-Rate Controllers [PDF]
Prostate cancer diagnosis continues to encounter challenges, often due to imprecise needle placement in standard biopsies. Several control strategies have been developed to compensate for needle tip prediction inaccuracies, however none were compared against each other, and it is unclear whether any of them can be safely and universally applied in ...

Silicosarcoidosis: Histologic and Clinical Features of an Occupational Granulomatous Disease
ABSTRACT Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disease of unknown etiology. Growing evidence indicates that occupational exposure to respirable crystalline silica (RCS) is associated with an increased incidence of sarcoidosis. Yet a diagnosis of sarcoidosis rarely prompts investigation to identify preventable exposures.

This study highlighted the different disease courses of Alagille syndrome patients with progressive disease (PD) or the jaundice‐free (JF) courses based on clinical follow‐up. Patients in the JF group had a favorable outcome and longer native liver survival than the PD group.

A Preliminary Add-on Differential Drive System for MRI-Compatible Prostate Robotic System [PDF]
MRI-targeted biopsy has shown significant advantages over conventional random sextant biopsy, detecting more clinically significant cancers and improving risk stratification. However, needle targeting accuracy, especially in transperineal MRI-guided biopsies, presents a challenge due to needle deflection.

Objective Endogenous retroelements (EREs) stimulate type 1 interferon (IFN‐I) production but have not been explored as potential interferonogenic triggers in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We investigated ERE expression in early RA (eRA), a period in which IFN‐I levels are increased.

Classically described in the group of non‐cirrhotic portal hypertension, obliterative portal venopathy (OPV) causes are still unknown. Our aim is to describe the characteristics of 43 OPV patients and potential risk factors. Clinically significant portal hypertension was found in 28% of cases. The most frequent indication for liver biopsy was elevation

Transformer Based Tissue Classification in Robotic Needle Biopsy [PDF]
Image-guided minimally invasive robotic surgery is commonly employed for tasks such as needle biopsies or localized therapies. However, the nonlinear deformation of various tissue types presents difficulties for surgeons in achieving precise needle tip placement, particularly when relying on low-fidelity biopsy imaging systems.
