Interventional radiologists mainly rely on visual feedback via imaging modalities to steer a needle toward a tumor during biopsy and ablation procedures. In the case of CT-guided procedures, there is a risk of exposure to hazardous X-ray-based ionizing radiation. Therefore, CT scans are usually not used continuously, which increases the chances of a misplacement of the needle and the need for reinsertion, leading to more tissue trauma.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how bisoprolol and diosmin might protect the heart from damage caused by cobalt chloride (CoCl2), which induces hypoxia and accelerates heart cell death.
- Researchers divided rats into various groups to examine cardiac function and tissue changes over 21 days, particularly focusing on oxidative stress and inflammatory markers.
- Results show that both drugs improve heart function, reduce harmful cardiac changes, and may protect heart cells by targeting specific biochemical pathways related to inflammation and oxidative stress.
Background: Liver medical procedures are considered one of the most challenging because of the liver's complex geometry, heterogeneity, mechanical properties, and movement due to respiration. Haptic features integrated into needle insertion systems and other medical devices could support physicians but are uncommon. Additional training time and safety concerns make it difficult to implement in robot-assisted surgery.

Methods: A retrospective study was performed to identify patients treated with carboplatin and concurrent radiation therapy for locally advanced cervical cancer with a minimum follow-up period of 24 months. Records were reviewed for demographic data, chemotherapy doses, toxicities, and survival outcomes.
