HUMANISE: Human-Inspired Smart Management, towards a Healthy and Safe Industrial Collaborative Robotics.

The workplace is evolving towards scenarios where humans are acquiring a more active and dynamic role alongside increasingly intelligent machines. Moreover, the active population is ageing and consequently emerging risks could appear due to health disorders of workers, which requires intelligent intervention both for production management and workers' support. In this sense, the innovative and smart systems oriented towards monitoring and regulating workers' well-being will become essential.

Transesophageal echocardiography during pectus excavatum correction in children: What happens to the heart?

Objectives: Cardiac compression in pectus excavatum remains difficult to evaluate. We describe the findings with intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography during pectus excavatum correction in pediatric patients.

Methods: We studied right heart changes during surgical correction of pectus excavatum by transesophageal echocardiograph.

Innovative Mobile Manipulator Solution for Modern Flexible Manufacturing Processes.

There is a paradigm shift in current manufacturing needs that is causing a change from the current mass-production-based approach to a mass customization approach where production volumes are smaller and more variable. Current processes are very adapted to the previous paradigm and lack the required flexibility to adapt to the new production needs. To solve this problem, an innovative industrial mobile manipulator is presented.

Teaching Chest Ultrasound in an Experimental Porcine Model.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a short hands-on chest ultrasound course to detect normal lung pattern, pneumothorax (PTX), and pleural effusion (PE) in a porcine animal model.

Methods: Thirty-six trainees with no previous experience in chest ultrasound participated in the study. A 1.

Advanced Low-Cost Ultrasound-Guided Vascular Access Simulation: The Chicken Breast Model.

There is a growing body of literature that supports the use of ultrasound for vascular access. Advanced simulation has become a widely applied technique for training medical staff in vascular access. Nevertheless, advanced simulators are expensive and of limited usage.
