Improving The Diagnosis of Thyroid Cancer by Machine Learning and Clinical Data [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Thyroid cancer is a common endocrine carcinoma that occurs in the thyroid gland. Much effort has been invested in improving its diagnosis, and thyroidectomy remains the primary treatment method. A successful operation without unnecessary side injuries relies on an accurate preoperative diagnosis. Current human assessment of thyroid nodule malignancy is

Indocyanine green angiography-guided thyroidectomy versus conventional thyroidectomy for preserving parathyroid function: study protocol for a randomized single-blind controlled trial [PDF]
, 2023 Introduction: Angiography with indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence performed before thyroidectomy would allow identification of the vascularization of parathyroid glands, maximizing efforts for preserving functioning glands intraoperatively.

Localizing the Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve via Ultrasound with a Bayesian Shape Framework [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Tumor infiltration of the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) is a contraindication for robotic thyroidectomy and can be difficult to detect via standard laryngoscopy. Ultrasound (US) is a viable alternative for RLN detection due to its safety and ability to provide real-time feedback.

A case report of thyroid carcinoma confined to ovary and concurrently occult in the thyroid. Is conservative treatment always advised? [PDF]
, 2015 Introduction: Struma ovarii is an ovarian teratoma, represented in more than 50% by thyroid tissue. Five percent of struma ovarii cases have been proven to be malignant and, as in the thyroid gland, papillary thyroid carcinoma is the most common ...

Autonomous Robotic Suction to Clear the Surgical Field for Hemostasis using Image-based Blood Flow Detection [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Autonomous robotic surgery has seen significant progression over the last decade with the aims of reducing surgeon fatigue, improving procedural consistency, and perhaps one day take over surgery itself. However, automation has not been applied to the critical surgical task of controlling tissue and blood vessel bleeding--known as hemostasis.

On the total curvatures of a tame function [PDF]
Bull. Braz. Math. Soc. (N.S.) 39 (2008), no. 4, 515-535, 2007 Given a definable function f, enough differentiable, we study the continuity of the total curvature function t --> K(t), total curvature of the level {f=t}, and the total absolute curvature function t-->|K| (t), total absolute curvature of the level {f=t}. We show they admits at most finitely many discontinuities.
