Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery Training and Service Delivery: An International Survey
This study highlights critical disparities in otolaryngology training between high‐income countries (HICs) and low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs), which impact access to quality care globally. Due to limited training resources and subspecialty opportunities in LMICs, physicians in these regions often feel less prepared to handle complex cases ...

Learning Invariant Representation of Tasks for Robust Surgical State Estimation [PDF]
Surgical state estimators in robot-assisted surgery (RAS) - especially those trained via learning techniques - rely heavily on datasets that capture surgeon actions in laboratory or real-world surgical tasks. Real-world RAS datasets are costly to acquire, are obtained from multiple surgeons who may use different surgical strategies, and are recorded ...

Abstract Most biodiversity dynamics and ecosystem processes on land take place in microclimates that are decoupled from the climate as measured by standardised weather stations in open, unshaded locations. As a result, microclimate monitoring is increasingly being integrated in many studies in ecology and evolution.
