Surgical-VQA: Visual Question Answering in Surgical Scenes using Transformer [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Visual question answering (VQA) in surgery is largely unexplored. Expert surgeons are scarce and are often overloaded with clinical and academic workloads. This overload often limits their time answering questionnaires from patients, medical students or junior residents related to surgical procedures.

Oncologic superiority of extralevator abdominoperineal excision for low rectal cancer [PDF]

Archive of Oncology, 2013
Background: Rectal cancer treatment has been dramatically improved during the last two decades in terms of a lower local recurrence rate and prolonged survival. This improvement was achieved mainly due to a better surgical technique (implementation of

Deep Reinforcement Learning in Surgical Robotics: Enhancing the Automation Level [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Surgical robotics is a rapidly evolving field that is transforming the landscape of surgeries. Surgical robots have been shown to enhance precision, minimize invasiveness, and alleviate surgeon fatigue. One promising area of research in surgical robotics is the use of reinforcement learning to enhance the automation level.

Dendritic cells steering antigen and leukocyte traffic in lymph nodes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Dendritic cells are key players in the activation of T cells and their commitment to effector function. In this In a Nutshell Review, we will discuss how dendritic cells guide the trafficking of antigen and leukocytes in the lymph node, thus influencing T‐cell activation processes. Dendritic cells (DCs) play a central role in initiating and shaping the

Short-term outcome of robotic and laparoscopic surgery for gynecological malignancies: A single-center experience

Gynecology and Minimally Invasive Therapy, 2023
Objectives: Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has become the preferred option for many gynecologic pathologies since complication rate and postoperative recovery time have decreased considerably. Postoperative complications remain an important aspect when

Insights into PI3K/AKT signaling in B cell development and chronic lymphocytic leukemia

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This Review explores how the phosphoinositide 3‐kinase and protein kinase B pathway shapes B cell development and drives chronic lymphocytic leukemia, a common blood cancer. It examines how signaling levels affect disease progression, addresses treatment challenges, and introduces novel experimental strategies to improve therapies and patient outcomes.

SurGNN: Explainable visual scene understanding and assessment of surgical skill using graph neural networks [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
This paper explores how graph neural networks (GNNs) can be used to enhance visual scene understanding and surgical skill assessment. By using GNNs to analyze the complex visual data of surgical procedures represented as graph structures, relevant features can be extracted and surgical skill can be predicted.

A histidine‐rich extension of the mitochondrial F0 subunit ATP6 from the ice worm Mesenchytraeus solifugus increases ATP synthase activity in bacteria

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The glacier ice worm Mesenchytraeus solifugus survives year‐round at 0 °C. Its ATP6 subunit, which forms a regulatory component of the proton pore in mitochondrial ATP synthase, has a carboxy‐terminal extension not found in any other organism examined to date. Here, we show that fusion of this extension to the homologous AtpB protein in E. coli results
