Purpose: In this feasibility study, we aimed to create a dedicated pulmonary augmented reality (AR) workflow to enable a semi-automated intraoperative overlay of the pulmonary anatomy during video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) or robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS).
Methods: Initially, the stereoscopic cameras were calibrated to obtain the intrinsic camera parameters. Intraoperatively, stereoscopic images were recorded and a 3D point cloud was generated from these images.
Bone tissue engineering is a promising approach to overcome the limitations of traditional autograft bone transplantation. Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) have been suggested as an enhancement for osteogenic differentiation. This study aimed to investigate the ability of the fibrin hydrogel scaffold in the presence of graphene quantum dots to promote osteogenic differentiation of human Wharton's jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hWJ-MSCs).
