Free tissue transfer is widely used for the reconstruction of complex tissue defects. The survival of free flaps depends on the patency and integrity of the microvascular anastomosis. Accordingly, the...
Providing the confidence level (Uncertainty) of prediction results and guiding patient-specific quality assurance (pQA) can enhance the safety of AI (Artificial intelligence)-based automatic pQA model...
An uncertainty-aware dual-task deep learning (UDDL) model, combined with an interwoven training method and Monte Carlo dropout approximation Bayesian inference, to enable simultaneous output of the pr...
Clinical accuracy of 100.0% was reached with only 61.7% of the workload. Samples with substantial prediction errors and failed samples with low label GPR (<95%) could be successfully screened out. The...
This study presents the first work on uncertainty quantification for deep learning automatic pQA tasks. The UgMi-pQA method can balance the efficiency and safety of the automatic pQA models and promot...
Scalp electrical burns unsuitable for primary closure after debridement have traditionally been treated by modalities that cause significant morbidity and are aesthetically inferior to tension-free pr...
Critical care management of shock is a labor-intensive process. Precision automated critical care management (PACC-MAN) is an automated closed-loop system incorporating physiologic and hemodynamic inp...
Twelve swine underwent 30% controlled hemorrhage over 30 minutes, followed by 45 minutes of aortic occlusion to generate a vasoplegic shock state, transfusion to euvolemia, and randomization to PACC-M...
Weight-based fluid volumes were similar between PACC-MAN and PDM, median and IQR are reported (73.1 mL/kg [59.0-78.7] vs. 87.1 mL/kg [79.4-91.8] p = 0.07). There was no statistical difference in cumul...
Automated resuscitation achieves equivalent resuscitation outcomes to direct human intervention in this shock model. This study provides the first translational experience with the PACC-MAN system ver...
As one of the largest contributors of morbidity and mortality, psychiatric disorders are anticipated to triple in prevalence over the coming decade or so. Major obstacles to psychiatric care include s...
The most common complication of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair is retear, which is more common in larger tears and older patients. We hypothesized that the quality of the torn tendon is important in...
This was a prospective case series on 50 patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, involving SWEUS measurements of each patient's supraspinatus tendon at 8 days, 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 6 month...
The SWEUS determined stiffness of supraspinatus tendons at their repaired insertion site postrepair increased by 22% from 6.3 ± 0.2 m/s to 7.7 ± 0.3 m/s over 12 months as the tendons healed (...
These data support the finding that machines (SWEUS) are better at assessing torn rotator cuff tendon quality and whether that tendon will heal after repair than the 'person' performing the surgery. S...
Social anxiety disorder (SAD) is a common psychological disorder associated with broad interpersonal impairment. Most previous studies have examined nonverbal behavior in SAD using human coders. Howev...
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become a therapeutic treatment for severe symptomatic patients with aortic stenosis. This study aimed to test a novel transcatheter aortic self-expan...
From industrial exoskeletons to implantable medical devices, robots that interact closely with people are poised to improve every aspect of our lives. Yet designing these systems is very challenging; ...
The sense of touch is a property that allows humans to interact delicately with their physical environment. This article reports on a technological advancement in intuitive human-robot interaction tha...
