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

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PEAK EXPIRATORY FLOW RATE BEFORE BRONCHOSCOPY AND ARTERIAL OXYGEN DESATURATION DURING BRONCHOSCOPY [PDF]

Acta Medica Iranica, 2008
A significant reduction in arterial blood oxygen saturation during fiberoptic bronchoscopy has been proved but it is not yet known whether all patients need supplemental oxygen during this procedure.

Cascade‐Responsive MXene@Cu‐MOF Heterostructure Integrates Antioxidant Activity, Infection Control, and Vascularization for Tracheal Repair

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A cascade‐responsive MXene@Cu‐MOF/GelMA hydrogel is engineered as a “skeleton–backpack” platform for extensive tracheal repair. The MXene framework scavenges postoperative ROS and converts NIR light into mild hyperthermia, while the Cu‐MOF component provides pH/NIR‐responsive Cu2+ dosing for infection control, angiogenesis, and chondrogenesis.

Investigating Partial Registration for Optimizing Robotic-Assisted Bronchoscopy Evaluations of Peripheral Lung Nodules (I-PROBE)Take-Home Points

CHEST Pulmonary
Background: Robotic-assisted bronchoscopy has transformed the diagnostic approach to lung cancer by improving access to peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs). Among these platforms, shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (ssRAB) relies on registration
