daVinciNet: Joint Prediction of Motion and Surgical State in Robot-Assisted Surgery [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
This paper presents a technique to concurrently and jointly predict the future trajectories of surgical instruments and the future state(s) of surgical subtasks in robot-assisted surgeries (RAS) using multiple input sources. Such predictions are a necessary first step towards shared control and supervised autonomy of surgical subtasks.

SURGIVID: Annotation-Efficient Surgical Video Object Discovery [PDF]

arXiv
Surgical scenes convey crucial information about the quality of surgery. Pixel-wise localization of tools and anatomical structures is the first task towards deeper surgical analysis for microscopic or endoscopic surgical views. This is typically done via fully-supervised methods which are annotation greedy and in several cases, demanding medical ...

ORBIT-Surgical: An Open-Simulation Framework for Learning Surgical Augmented Dexterity [PDF]

arXiv
Physics-based simulations have accelerated progress in robot learning for driving, manipulation, and locomotion. Yet, a fast, accurate, and robust surgical simulation environment remains a challenge. In this paper, we present ORBIT-Surgical, a physics-based surgical robot simulation framework with photorealistic rendering in NVIDIA Omniverse.

VS-Assistant: Versatile Surgery Assistant on the Demand of Surgeons [PDF]

arXiv
The surgical intervention is crucial to patient healthcare, and many studies have developed advanced algorithms to provide understanding and decision-making assistance for surgeons. Despite great progress, these algorithms are developed for a single specific task and scenario, and in practice require the manual combination of different functions, thus ...

Identification of short chain fatty acids in cervical mucus from estrous cows [PDF]

, 1975
Cervical mucus was obtained from estrus dairy cows by massage, per rectum, of the reproductive tract to expel mucus into a plastic bag. Mucus was collected from ovariectomized beef heifers, brought into estrus with progesterone and estrogen, by insertion

SurgBox: Agent-Driven Operating Room Sandbox with Surgery Copilot [PDF]

arXiv
Surgical interventions, particularly in neurology, represent complex and high-stakes scenarios that impose substantial cognitive burdens on surgical teams. Although deliberate education and practice can enhance cognitive capabilities, surgical training opportunities remain limited due to patient safety concerns. To address these cognitive challenges in

Menstrual Support for Females with Developmental Disabilities: Survey and Interview of Parents or Caretakers [PDF]

, 2013
Menstruation is a difficult topic to address with as females with or without disabilities. It is a more significant challenge for females with developmental disabilities (DD) because it stimulates a variety of physical and psychological changes.
