Nerve Block Target Localization and Needle Guidance for Autonomous Robotic Ultrasound Guided Regional Anesthesia [PDF]
Visual servoing for the development of autonomous robotic systems capable of administering UltraSound (US) guided regional anesthesia requires real-time segmentation of nerves, needle tip localization and needle trajectory extrapolation. First, we recruited 227 patients to build a large dataset of 41,000 anesthesiologist annotated images from US videos

Distal Nerve Transfer for Opponensplasty in the Setting of High Median Nerve Injury: A Case Series
Conclusion: In high median-nerve injury, early reconstructive intervention can prevent the thenar muscle atrophy and leads to prompt reinnervation and complete restoration of thenar function.

Acute acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocations are common and difficult to manage. The physiopathologic pattern begins with the rupture of the AC ligaments, then the coracoclavicular (CC) ligaments, and with an invasion of the clavicle through the ...

Origin variations and brachial plexus relationship of the dorsal scapular artery
The dorsal scapular artery can either be a direct branch of the subclavian artery or a branch of the transverse cervical artery. Origin variation is related to its relationship with the brachial plexus.

Managing Persistent Radial Artery Spasm During Coronary Catheterization: A Complex Case Study
ABSTRACT This case report details the management of persistent radial artery spasm during coronary catheterization, unresponsive to standard pharmacotherapy. After conventional methods failed, deep sedation, neuromuscular blockade, and orotracheal intubation proved essential.

Multiple Instance Segmentation in Brachial Plexus Ultrasound Image Using BPMSegNet [PDF]
The identification of nerve is difficult as structures of nerves are challenging to image and to detect in ultrasound images. Nevertheless, the nerve identification in ultrasound images is a crucial step to improve performance of regional anesthesia.

Decentralized Learning Made Practical with Client Sampling [PDF]
Decentralized learning (DL) leverages edge devices for collaborative model training while avoiding coordination by a central server. Due to privacy concerns, DL has become an attractive alternative to centralized learning schemes since training data never leaves the device.
