Remote-Controlled and Teleoperated Systems: Taking Robotic Image Guided Interventions to the Next Stage.

Remote-controlled and teleoperated robotic systems mark transformative advancements in interventional radiology (IR), with the potential to enhance precision, reduce radiation exposure, and expand access to care. By integrating robotic devices with imaging guidance, these systems enable precise instrument placement and navigation, thereby improving the efficacy and safety of minimally invasive procedures. Remote-controlled and teleoperated robotic systems-operated by clinicians using control interfaces from within or adjacent to the procedure room-are being adopted for both percutaneous and endovascular interventions.

Prognostic Implications of Sex in Patients With Heart Failure With Mildly Reduced Ejection Fraction: Results From a Large-Scaled Registry.

Background: The study investigates the prognostic impact of sex and sex-related differences in patients hospitalized with heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF). More data regarding the characterization of patients and their outcomes in the presence of HFmrEF are needed.

Methods And Results: Consecutive patients hospitalized with HFmrEF (ie, left ventricular ejection fraction 41%-49% and signs or symptoms of HF) were retrospectively included at one institution from 2016 to 2022.

Early Removal of the Abdominal Patch is Superior to Late Removal in Children With Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia.

Introduction: Open repair of Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) in neonates often involves reconstruction of the abdominal wall using a patch. Data on predictors for the need of a patch and associated postoperative risks, such as infection or patch detachment, are limited. Specifically, the question regarding the ideal timepoint of patch removal remains unanswered.

Multivariate description of gait changes in a mouse model of peripheral nerve injury and trauma.

Objective: Animal models of nerve injury are important for studying nerve injury and repair, particularly for interventions that cannot be studied in humans. However, the vast majority of gait analysis in animals has been limited to univariate analysis even though gait data is highly multi-dimensional. As a result, little is known about how various spatiotemporal components of the gait relate to each other in the context of peripheral nerve injury and trauma.

Comparison of neuraminidase inhibiting antibody responses elicited by egg- and cell-derived influenza vaccines.

Unlabelled: Neuraminidase (NA)-specific antibodies contribute to immunity against influenza. While studies have demonstrated increased NA inhibiting (NAI) antibody titers after vaccination with egg-derived inactivated influenza vaccines (eIIV), the response to cell culture-derived (c) IIV has not been reported.

Methods: An immunogenicity sub-study was performed within a clinical trial comparing the effectiveness of egg, cell, and recombinant hemagglutinin (HA)-derived influenza vaccines during the 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 influenza seasons.
