Patient‐Reported Decisional Regret After Operative Otolaryngology Procedures: A Scoping Review

The Laryngoscope, Volume 134, Issue 6, Page 2562-2567, June 2024.
Decision regret is a patient‐reported outcome that has become increasingly examined in medicine. A scoping review of decision regret after otolaryngology procedures found that the majority of patients had no to mild decisional regret, suggesting procedures are generally well tolerated.

Parathyroidectomy for solitary parathyroid adenoma via trans‐areola single site endoscopic approach: Results of a case‐match study

Cancer Medicine, Volume 13, Issue 10, May 2024.
Based on precise preoperative localization and intraoperative planning facilitated by three‐dimensional (3D) virtual modeling, trans‐areola single site endoscopic parathyroidectomy can be feasibly performed on selected patients with satisfactory success rates and low complication rates, providing preferable cosmetic results and alleviating the surgical

Pattern Formation for Asynchronous Robots without Agreement in Chirality [PDF]

arXiv, 2014
This paper presents a deterministic algorithm for forming a given asymmetric pattern in finite time by a set of autonomous, homogeneous, oblivious mobile robots under the CORDA model. The robots are represented as points on the 2D plane. There is no explicit communication between the robots.

Blood pressure in hyperthyroid cats before and after radioiodine treatment

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Volume 38, Issue 3, Page 1359-1369, May/June 2024.
Abstract Background Hyperthyroid cats commonly have systemic hypertension, with a reported prevalence of 7% to 48%. Although hypertension might be expected to resolve once treatment restores euthyroidism, it can persist or only first develop after treatment.

Formation of General Position by Asynchronous Mobile Robots [PDF]

arXiv, 2014
The traditional distributed model of autonomous, homogeneous, mobile point robots usually assumes that the robots do not create any visual obstruction for the other robots, i.e., the robots are see through. In this paper, we consider a slightly more realistic model, by incorporating the notion of obstructed visibility (i.e., robots are not see through)

Robotic Thyroidectomy for Benign Thyroid Diseases

Surgical Laparoscopy, Endoscopy & Percutaneous Techniques, 2013
Thyroid surgery for benign diseases mainly involves young women, and thus, cosmetic considerations have motivated the development of "no scar to the neck" procedures. Endoscopic techniques are often strenuous, and therefore, discouraging to adopt. However, the recent incorporation of robotic technology proposes a feasible, safe, extracervical approach ...

Predictive factors for prolonged operative time of robotic thyroidectomy via bilateral axillo-breast approach: Analysis of 359 cases of differentiated thyroid cancer

Asian Journal of Surgery, 2022
Objective: This study assessed the results of robotic thyroidectomy for differentiated thyroid cancer in early stage, to identify the predictive factors of operative time and complication rate. Methods: A patient cohort of 359 cases in total was involved

Endoscopic thyroidectomy: why we need a transoral approach

Atti della Accademia Peloritana dei Pericolanti - Classe di Scienze Medico-Biologiche, 2017
Transoral thyroidectomy (TT) is a feasible novel surgical procedure that does not need visible incisions, a truly scar-free surgery. Inclusion criteria are (a) patients who have a ultrasonographically (US) estimated thyroid diameter not larger than 10 cm,
