Treatment of gastric cancer cells with non-thermal atmospheric plasma generated in water [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 Non-thermal atmospheric plasma (NTAP) can be applied to living tissues and cells as a novel technology for cancer therapy. Even though studies report on the successful use of NTAP to directly irradiate cancer cells, this technology can cause cell death only in the upper 3-5 cell layers.

Feature Mixing Approach for Detecting Intraoperative Adverse Events in Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery [PDF]
arXivIntraoperative adverse events (IAEs), such as bleeding or thermal injury, can lead to severe postoperative complications if undetected. However, their rarity results in highly imbalanced datasets, posing challenges for AI-based detection and severity quantification.
