Intelligent Micro/Nanorobots for Targeted Interventional Therapy: From Bench to Clinic

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Zirui Zhang et al. reviewed the application and challenges of mobile nanomachines in interventional therapy. By converting exogenous energy, including chemical, magnetic, optical, and ultrasonic sources, into mechanical forces, micro/nanorobots (MNRs) enable precise actuation at unprecedented scales. Evolving far beyond traditional drug delivery, these

Cavernous hemangioma of the small intestine diagnosed by capsule endoscopy in an 8-year-old girl

Journal of Pediatric Surgery Case Reports, 2022
Cavernous hemangiomas of the small intestine are rare. Usually, early diagnosis is difficult because patients are often asymptomatic for a long period. In recent years, capsule endoscopy has been used to diagnose small-bowel lesions with small-intestinal
