Surgical Technique and Perioperative Outcomes of the "Sapienza" Urology Residency Program's Trocar Placement Configuration During Robotic-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy (RARP): A Retrospective, Single-Centre Observational Study Comparing Experienced Attendings vs. Post-Graduate Year I-III Residents as Bedside Assistants.

: Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) for the treatment of prostate cancer (PCa) has been standardized over the last 20 years. At our institution, only n = 3 rob arms are used for RARP. In addition, n = 2, 12 mm lap trocars are placed for the bedside assistant symmetrically at the midclavicular lines, which allows for direct pelvic triangulation and greater involvement of the assisting surgeon.

Design, Development, and Testing of Machine Learning Models to Estimate Properties of Friction Stir Welded Joints.

This paper estimates friction stir welded joints' ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and hardness using six supervised machine learning models (viz., linear regression, support vector regression, decision tree regression, random forest regression, K-nearest neighbour, and artificial neural network). Tool traverse speed, tool rotational speed, pin diameter, shoulder diameter, tool offset, and tool tilt are the six input parameters in the 200 datasets for training and testing the models.

A Sustainable and Flexible Carbon Paper-Based Multifunctional Human-Machine Interface (HMI) Sensor.

We have executed a cost-effective approach to produce a high-performance multifunctional human-machine interface (HMI) humidity sensor. The designed sensors were ecofriendly, flexible, and highly sensitive to variability in relative humidity (%RH) in the surroundings. In this study, we have introduced a humidity sensor by using carbon paper (as both a substrate and sensing material) and a silver (Ag) conductive ink pen.

Potential Candidate Genes Associated with Litter Size in Goats: A Review.

This review examines genetic markers associated with litter size in goats, a key reproductive trait impacting productivity in small ruminant farming. Goats play a vital socioeconomic role in both low- and high-income regions; however, their productivity remains limited due to low reproductive efficiency. Litter size, influenced by multiple genes and environmental factors, directly affects farm profitability and sustainability by increasing the output per breeding cycle.

Comparison and impact of preoperative 3D virtual vascular modelling with intraoperative indocyanine green perfusion angiography for personalized proximal colon cancer surgery.

3D virtual modelling (3DVM) of mesenteric vasculature and indocyanine green perfusion angiography (ICGPA) should correlate for the purposes of better preoperative planning and intraoperative performance during laparoscopic right hemicolectomy with complete mesocolic excision (CME) and central vascular ligation (CVL) for proximal colon cancer. We studied this, and their combined impact on surgical decision making, in a cohort of 20 such patients undergoing CT mesenteric angiography and 3DVM prior to surgery with the surgical team utilizing these technologies for operative planning. ICGPA was employed intraoperatively in every case to assess the perfusion of the planned anastomotic site.
