Inter‐ and intraobserver agreement in whole‐slide digital ThinPrep samples of low‐grade squamous lesions of the cervix uteri with known high‐risk HPV status: A multicentric international study

Cancer Cytopathology, Volume 130, Issue 12, Page 939-948, December 2022., 2022
Background High‐risk human papilloma virus (HR HPV) testing and liquid‐based cytology are used for primary cervical screening. Digital cytology, based on whole‐slide scanned samples, is a promising technique for teaching and diagnostic purposes. The aim of our study was to evaluate the interobserver and intraobserver variation in low‐grade squamous ...

Operator State in a Workplace Simulation Modulates Eye-Blink Related EEG Activity

IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2023
Evaluating and understanding the cognitive demands of natural activities has been difficult using neurocognitive approaches like mobile EEG. While task-unrelated stimuli are commonly added to a workplace simulation to estimate event-related cognitive ...

Virtual reality hypnosis in the management of pain: Self‐reported and neurophysiological measures in healthy subjects

European Journal of Pain, Volume 27, Issue 1, Page 148-162, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Background Virtual reality hypnosis (VRH) has emerged as a new and promising option for pain management. Nonetheless, neural dynamics of pain modulation during VRH have not been investigated yet. The aim of this study was to measure the effects of VRH on pain, combining neurophysiological and self‐reported measurements.

Optimisation and validation of a co‐manipulated robot for brachytherapy procedure

The International Journal of Medical Robotics and Computer Assisted Surgery, Volume 19, Issue 1, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Background Low‐dose rate brachytherapy is the referent treatment for early‐stage prostate cancer and consists in manually inserting radioactive seeds within the organ to destroy tumorous cells. This treatment is inaccurate leading to side effects. Researchers developed robots to improve this technique.

Preclinical robotic device for magnetic resonance imaging guided focussed ultrasound

The International Journal of Medical Robotics and Computer Assisted Surgery, Volume 19, Issue 1, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Background A robotic device featuring three motion axes was manufactured for preclinical research on focussed ultrasound (FUS). The device comprises a 2.75 MHz single element ultrasonic transducer and is guided by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Methods The compatibility of the device with the MRI was evaluated by estimating the influence on
