Robotics-assisted surgery in gynecology: A single-center experience with the Hugo™ RAS system in India.

Background: Robotics-assisted surgery (RAS) offers several advantages over traditional laparoscopic surgery, such as enhanced precision, dexterity, and ergonomics, and allows stable movements with tremor filtering and motion scaling. The new multi-modular Hugo™ RAS system is commercially available in certain countries and is used in urological, gynecological, and general surgical procedures.

Objectives: To document the experience with the use of the Hugo™ RAS system in 20 patients who underwent surgery for various gynecological conditions at a hospital in Hyderabad, India.

Laboratory diagnosis of pleural tuberculosis: An unsolved enigma.

Background: Pleural Tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis is challenging and the current diagnostic approach is multidisciplinary involving clinico-radiological methods in addition to laboratory parameters. The study aims to explore the role of all available parameters for pleural TB diagnosis.

Methods: A cross-sectional study on suspected pleural TB patients was conducted at a tertiary care hospital in Chhattisgarh from February to November 2021.

Granulocytapheresis Donor Deferrals Pattern at a Pediatric Tertiary Care Centre in Northern India.

Granulocyte transfusion is used to manage refractory infections in patients with severe neutropenia. One of the main challenges in providing granulocyte products is the availability of a suitable donor. This study was designed to analyse deferral patterns to appropriately create a pool of granulocyte donors.

The Impact of a Digital Referral Platform to Improve Access to Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: A Prospective Observational Study with Real-World Data.

(1) Background: In the UK, mental health needs for children and young people (CYP) are rising, whilst access to care is declining, particularly in the North of England and post-COVID-19. However, Health Information Technologies (HITs) can simplify access to Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS), reduce waiting times, and provide anonymous support and reliable information. (2) Methods: A single-centre prospective observational study examined the impact of "CYP as One"-a digital referral point to CAMHS-on waiting times and referral rejection rates.
