Use of the Ion Robot in the Diagnosis of Pulmonary Nodules: Fine Needle Aspiration Versus Cryobiopsy
Diagnostic Cytopathology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Robotic‐assisted bronchoscopy platforms provide an innovative approach to the sampling of pulmonary nodules. As compared to other technologies, fiber‐optic shape‐sensing instrumentation allows for a more precise, accurate location and sampling of the target lesion with fewer complications.

Health Care Science, EarlyView.We developed an effective prediction model for reasonably high hospitalization costs, using gastric cancer surgery patients as an example. Integrating this assessment into the healthcare payment system based on diagnosis‐related groups is expected to improve the individualization and precision of health insurance fund utilization.

Head &Neck, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Purpose Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) of the jaw remains a serious late complication of head and neck cancer (HNC) radiotherapy. Although intensity‐modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and volumetric‐modulated arc radiotherapy (VMAT) are expected to reduce ORN risk, large real‐world data in the modern era are limited.
