Development of miniaturized light endoscope-holder robot for laparoscopic surgery [PDF]
Journal of Endourology 21, 8 (2007) 911-4, 2007 PURPOSE: We have conducted experiments with an innovatively designed robot endoscope holder for laparoscopic surgery that is small and low cost. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A compact light endoscope robot (LER) that is placed on the patient's skin and can be used with the patient in the lateral or dorsal supine position was tested on cadavers and laboratory

Percutaneous nephrolithotomy in the supine position: Initial experience at Yashoda Hospital [PDF]
Perspectives In Medical Research, 2018 Objectives: To assess the feasibility of performing percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) with the patient supine. Although PCNL with the patient prone is the standard technique for treating large (>2 cm) renal stones including staghorn stones, we ...

Effects of an elevated position on time to tracheal intubation by novice intubators using Macintosh laryngoscopy or videolaryngoscopy: randomized crossover trial [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental Emergency Medicine, 2015 Objective To investigate the time to tracheal intubation using Glidescope videolaryngoscopy (GVL) compared to that of standard laryngoscopy, by using a Macintosh blade (SLM) in a human patient simulator in supine and elevated (ramped) positions.

Corresponding Supine and Prone Colon Visualization Using Eigenfunction Analysis and Fold Modeling [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics,
23(1):751-760, 2017, 2018 We present a method for registration and visualization of corresponding supine and prone virtual colonoscopy scans based on eigenfunction analysis and fold modeling. In virtual colonoscopy, CT scans are acquired with the patient in two positions, and their registration is desirable so that physicians can corroborate findings between scans.

Discovery of causal paths in cardiorespiratory parameters: a time-independent approach in elite athletes [PDF]
www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphys.2018.01455/, 2018 Training of elite athletes requires regular physiological and medical monitoring to plan the schedule, intensity and volume of training, and subsequent recovery. In sports medicine, ECG-based analyses are well established. However, they rarely consider the correspondence of respiratory and cardiac activity.

Breast simulation pipeline: from medical imaging to patient-specific simulations [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Breast-conserving surgery is the most acceptable operation for breast cancer removal from an invasive and psychological point of view. Before the surgical procedure, a preoperative MRI is performed in the prone configuration, while the surgery is achieved in the supine position.
