A Self-Adaptive IoT-based Approach for Improving the Decision Making of Active Surgical Robots in Hospitals [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
In recent years, surgical robots have become instrumental tools for assisting surgeons in performing complex surgical procedures in hospitals. Unlike conventional surgical methods, robotic systems help surgeons, for example, to perform minimally invasive surgical procedures while enhancing the precision and control of operations (e.g.

Elongated Miofascial Temporal Flap in Comparison with Standard Surgical Procedure of Temporal Muscle Reconstruction [PDF]

Medical Archives, 2017
Flap of the temporal muscle (m. temporalis) with its natural position, its mass and its length, compared with other bound and free microvascular flaps, is the method of choice for covering the middle part of the face after the removal of large tumor masses.The study included a sample of 36 patients who were surgically treated due to malignant process ...

Sequence Analysis to Phenotype Health Care Patterns in Adults With Musculoskeletal Conditions Using Primary Care Electronic Health Records

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective The aim of this study was to apply sequence analysis (SA) to phenotype health care patterns of adult patients with musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions using primary care electronic health records and to investigate the association between these health care patterns and patients’ self‐reported outcomes after consultation.

Surgical Procedures for a Rat Model of Partial Orthotopic Liver Transplantation with Hepatic Arterial Reconstruction [PDF]

Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2013
Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) in rats using a whole or partial graft is an indispensable experimental model for transplantation research, such as studies on graft preservation and ischemia-reperfusion injury, immunological responses, hemodynamics, and small-for-size syndrome.

Placebo Effect Sizes in Clinical Trials of Knee Osteoarthritis Using Intra‐Articular Injections of Biologic Agents

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Patients with knee osteoarthritis rely on symptomatic treatments, in which up to 75% of the pain reduction can be attributed to the placebo effect. This effect may vary based on treatment type (eg, biologics vs nonbiologic injection) and route of administration (eg, intra‐articular vs topical vs oral).

Agreement of administrative pharmacy dispensing with self‐reported use of oral prednisone in US Veterans with rheumatoid arthritis

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective Administrative claims are used to evaluate oral glucocorticoid use in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), despite limited evidence to support accuracy. We aimed to evaluate the performance of claims‐based algorithms for glucocorticoid use compared to self‐report in an RA population.

Whole‐Blood RNA Sequencing Profiling of Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis Treated With Tofacitinib

ACR Open Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) often fail to respond to therapies, including JAK inhibitors (JAKi), and treatment allocation is made via a trial‐and‐error strategy. A comprehensive analysis of responses to JAKi, including tofacitinib, by RNA sequencing (RNAseq) would allow the discovery of transcriptomic markers with a two‐fold ...

Neural Network Adaptive Control With Long Short‐Term Memory

International Journal of Adaptive Control and Signal Processing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study, we propose a novel adaptive control architecture that provides dramatically better transient response performance compared to conventional adaptive control methods. This is accomplished by the synergistic employment of a traditional adaptive neural network (ANN) controller and a long short‐term memory (LSTM) network.
