Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 102-109, January 2023., 2023 SILS is a technically challenging procedure for novice surgeons. We evaluate the clinical outcomes of SILS for colorectal cancer performed by novice surgeons. SILS was safely performed by novice surgeons under the guidance of well‐experienced surgeons, and could provide satisfactory oncological outcomes. Abstract Background Single incision laparoscopic

Enhancing the evaluation of pathogen transmission risk in a hospital by merging hand-hygiene compliance and contact data: a proof-of-concept study [PDF]
BMC Research Notes 8:426 (2015), 2016 Hand-hygiene compliance and contacts of health-care workers largely determine the potential paths of pathogen transmission in hospital wards. We explored how the combination of data collected by two automated infrastructures based on wearable sensors and recording (i) use of hydro-alcoholic solution and (ii) contacts of health-care workers provide an ...

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Current radiotherapy practices rely on manual contouring of CT scans, which is time‐consuming, prone to variability, and requires highly trained experts. There is a need for more efficient and consistent contouring methods. This study evaluated the performance of the Varian Ethos AI auto‐contouring tool to assess its potential integration into

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 110-120, January 2023., 2023 This multicenter retrospective cohort study suggested that postoperative infection (PI) after curative colorectal surgery (CRC) is associated with impaired oncological outcomes. Strategies to prevent PI and implement appropriate postoperative treatment may improve the quality of care and oncological outcomes in patients undergoing curative CRC surgery.

Experimental investigations of acoustic curtains for hospital environment noise mitigations [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 The continuous increase of hospital noise levels has become a vital challenge for society. The complex soundscapes in the hospital produce unpleasant noise, which may exceed the prescribed noise level for the patients and healthcare professionals. Previous studies have reported that extended exposure to loud noise may cause auditory and nonauditory ...

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Many artificial intelligence (AI) solutions have been proposed to enhance the radiotherapy (RT) workflow, but limited applications have been implemented to date, suggesting an implementation gap. One contributing factor to this gap is a misalignment between AI systems and their users.

Accounting for TLD response to CBCT protocols in external beam radiotherapy dose monitoring
Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose LiF thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) are commonly used in radiation therapy to verify the delivered dose. Examples include dose verification for complicated treatment setups or cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs). TLDs may be present for both the pre‐treatment imaging kilovoltage (kV) beam and the megavoltage (MV ...

Hospital Capacity Planning Using Discrete Event Simulation Under Special Consideration of the COVID-19 Pandemic [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 We present a resource-planning tool for hospitals under special consideration of the COVID-19 pandemic, called babsim.hospital. It provides many advantages for crisis teams, e.g., comparison with their own local planning, simulation of local events, simulation of several scenarios (worst / best case).
