Long‐term enteral nutrition with a nasogastric tube can be safe and effective: A case report
Abstract Home enteral nutrition (HEN) is a vital feeding practice for those who have chronic disorders that prevent them from eating normally. Although short‐term feeding is predominantly done via nasogastric (NG) tubes and long‐term feeding is done via percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube, we present a case that demonstrates that the long ...

Population‐Based Versus Hospital‐Based Data in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis—A Factor to Consider?
ABSTRACT Background Over the past years, some studies in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) have provided heterogeneous findings regarding demographic and clinical data as well as the impact of various prognostic factors. It is well known that these inconsistencies might be caused by a selection bias in hospital‐based data sets.

Needle Segmentation Using GAN: Restoring Thin Instrument Visibility in Robotic Ultrasound [PDF]
Ultrasound-guided percutaneous needle insertion is a standard procedure employed in both biopsy and ablation in clinical practices. However, due to the complex interaction between tissue and instrument, the needle may deviate from the in-plane view, resulting in a lack of close monitoring of the percutaneous needle.

StraightTrack: Towards Mixed Reality Navigation System for Percutaneous K-wire Insertion [PDF]
In percutaneous pelvic trauma surgery, accurate placement of Kirschner wires (K-wires) is crucial to ensure effective fracture fixation and avoid complications due to breaching the cortical bone along an unsuitable trajectory. Surgical navigation via mixed reality (MR) can help achieve precise wire placement in a low-profile form factor.

A CT-guided Control Framework of a Robotic Flexible Endoscope for the Diagnosis of the Maxillary Sinusitis [PDF]
Flexible endoscopes are commonly adopted in narrow and confined anatomical cavities due to their higher reachability and dexterity. However, prolonged and unintuitive manipulation of these endoscopes leads to an increased workload on surgeons and risks of collision.
