In 2015 we began a sub-challenge at the EndoVis workshop MICCAI in Munich using endoscope images of ex-vivo tissue with automatically generated annotations from robot forward kinematics and instrument CAD models. However, limited background variation simple motion rendered dataset uninformative learning about which techniques would be suitable for segmentation real surgery. 2017, same Quebec introduced robotic 10 teams participating challenge to perform binary, articulating parts type da...
In conventional core decompression of osteonecrosis, surgeons cannot successfully reach the whole area femoral head due to rigidity instruments currently used. To address this issue, we present design and fabrication a novel steerable drill using continuum dexterous manipulator (CDM) two different flexible cutting tools passing through lumen CDM. A set experiments investigated functionality efficiency curved-drilling approach on simulated cancellous bone. Geometry cutter head, rotational...
Image-based 2D/3D registration is a critical technique for fluoroscopic guided surgical interventions. Conventional intensity-based approa- ches suffer from limited capture range due to the presence of local minima in hand-crafted image similarity functions. In this work, we aim extend with fully differentiable deep network framework that learns approximate convex-shape function. The uses novel Projective Spatial Transformer (ProST) module has unique differentiability respect 3D pose...
This article proposes a data-driven learning-based approach for shape sensing and Distal-end Position Estimation (DPE) of surgical Continuum Manipulator (CM) in constrained environments using Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors. The proposed uses only the sensory data from an unmodeled uncalibrated sensor embedded CM to estimate DPE. It serves as alternate conventional mechanics-based sensor-model-dependent which relies on several geometrical assumptions. Unlike where is reconstructed proximal...
Abstract Atherosclerosis (AS), a progressive disorder, is one of the tough challenges in clinic. Scutellarin, an extract from Herba Erigerontis, found to have oxygen‐free radicals scavenging effects and antioxidant effects. In this study, we aimed investigate anti‐AS scutellarin related controlling Hippo–FOXO3A PI3K/AKT signal pathway. To establish AS model, rats model groups were intraperitoneally injected with vitamin D 3 then fed high‐fat diet for 12 weeks. addition, vitro angiotensin...
Colorectal cancer (CRC) represents one of the common malignancies gastrointestinal tract. The CRC incidence and mortality rates can be significantly reduced through early detection resection precursor lesions, also known colorectal polyps. However, such polyps missed during manual colonoscopy screening. With recent advances in artificial intelligence, numerous computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) methods have been proposed for applications. In particular, deep learning algorithms recently designed...
The latest progress summary of sustainable development goals (SDGs) in 2023 reveals that the ongoing growth pattern Asian economies is inadequate. countries are facing several challenges securing targets SDGs, and environmental degradation one major issues among them. Hence, urgent actions required to attain SDG targets. Several studies available literature have considered multiple determinants degradation. However, impact green production practices (GPP) geopolitical risk (GPR) relatively...
Femoroplasty is a proposed alternative therapeutic method for preventing osteoporotic hip fractures in the elderly. Previously developed navigation system femoroplasty required attachment of an external X-ray fiducial to femur. We propose fiducial-free 2D/3D registration pipeline using fluoroscopic images robot-assisted femoroplasty. Intraoperative are taken from multiple views perform femur and drilling/injection device. The was tested through comprehensive simulation cadaveric studies....
Association studies have been employed to investigate the relationships between host single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and susceptibility pulmonary Tuberculosis (PTB). However, such candidate genetic markers not widely studied in Chinese population, especially with respect disease development from latent M. tuberculosis infection (LTBI).In this case-control study, 44 SNPs were examined a total of 600 participants (PTB patients, LTBI controls healthy without infection) Zhengzhou, China....
Vascular calcification (VC) is a process in which calcium phosphate crystals deposit within the intima and middle membrane of vascular wall. Rosmarinic acid (RA) common phenolic compound. It possesses antioxidation, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial effects. Our experiment aims to investigate role molecular mechanism RA VC. Rats were fed high-fat feed injected with vitamin D3 establish VC model. β-Glyerophosphate (β GP) was selected stimulate rat aortic smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) order cell...
Abstract Purpose During spinal fusion surgery, screws are placed close to critical nerves suggesting the need for highly accurate screw placement. Verifying placement on high-quality tomographic imaging is essential. C-arm cone-beam CT (CBCT) provides intraoperative 3D which would allow immediate verification and, if needed, revision. However, reconstruction quality attainable with commercial CBCT devices insufficient, predominantly due severe metal artifacts in presence of pedicle screws....
