Hybrid Continuum Robot Designs and Architectures for Healthcare Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Hybrid continuum robots represent an emerging class of flexible manipulators that blend materials, structures, and actuation concepts from the established fields of soft and continuum robotics. This review introduces an accessible framework to distinguish key hybridization approaches, surveys current designs aimed at complex clinical applications, and ...

The improved pedicled pectoralis major myocutaneous flaps in reconstruction of complex surgical defects following resection of advanced head and neck malignancies

open access: yesZhongguo aizheng zazhi, 2016
Background and purpose: The pedicled pectoralis major myocutaneous flap has been a common choice of tissue flaps for head and neck reconstruction. Nowadays, with rapid advancement in microsurgery, free flaps gradually replace the pedicled flaps. However,

Introducing PNEUMA: A Hybrid Soft Pneumatic Fabric Bidirectional Actuation Module for Wearable Robotics

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This study presents a soft pneumatic fabric bidirectional actuation module (PNEUMA) capable of generating high torque in both bending directions within a single integrated architecture. PNEUMA achieves up to 50 Nm with reduced inflation volume and a lightweight design.

Shortening Foreheadplasty; Minimization of the Tension of Scalp Flap [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 2013
People with ordinary faces want their faces more attractive, and thus various attempts have been made to reduce the size of the upper and lower face. We therefore have designed the shortening foreheadplasty, in which an excision was made on the part of ...

Deep Contrastive Learning for High‐Throughput Prediction of Drug Resistance Mutations from Sequences

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents DeepMutDTA, a deep learning framework aimed at predicting mutation‐induced changes in protein‐drug interactions and prioritizing variants potentially linked to drug resistance. Trained on large‐scale data, it incorporates SimSiam‐MuTF, a label‐aware contrastive fine‐tuning strategy that encourages separation between WT and MT ...
