Artificial intelligence for advance requesting of immunohistochemistry in diagnostically uncertain prostate biopsies.

The use of immunohistochemistry in the reporting of prostate biopsies is an important adjunct when the diagnosis is not definite on haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) morphology alone. The process is however inherently inefficient with delays while waiting for pathologist review to make the request and duplicated effort reviewing a case more than once. In this study, we aimed to capture the workflow implications of immunohistochemistry requests and demonstrate a novel artificial intelligence tool to identify cases in which immunohistochemistry (IHC) is required and generate an automated request.

Real-Time Assessment of Mechanical Tissue Trauma in Surgery.

Objective: This work presents a method to assess and prevent tissue trauma in real-time during surgery.

Background: Tissue trauma occurs routinely during laparoscopic surgery with potentially severe consequences. As such, it is crucial that a surgeon is able to regulate the pressure exerted by surgical instruments.
