The role of socio-emotional attributes in enhancing human-AI collaboration.

This article delves into the dynamics of human interaction with artificial intelligence (AI), emphasizing the optimization of these interactions to enhance human productivity. Employing a Grounded Theory Literature Review (GTLR) methodology, the study systematically identifies and analyzes themes from literature published between 2018 and 2023. Data were collected primarily from the Scopus database, with the Web of Science used to corroborate findings and include additional sources identified through a snowball effect.

FocalPose++: Focal Length and Object Pose Estimation Via Render and Compare.

We introduce FocalPose++, a neural render-and-compare method for jointly estimating the camera-object 6D pose and camera focal length given a single RGB input image depicting a known object. The contributions of this work are threefold. First, we derive a focal length update rule that extends an existing state-of-the-art render-and-compare 6D pose estimator to address the joint estimation task.

Reconfiguration from emergency to urgent elective neurosurgery for glioblastoma patients improves length of stay, surgical adjunct use, and extent of resective surgery.

Background: Glioblastoma (GB) is the most common intrinsic brain cancer and is notorious for its aggressive nature. Despite widespread research and optimization of clinical management, the improvement in overall survival has been limited. The aim of this study was to characterize the impact of service reconfiguration on GB outcomes in a single centre.

Comparison of outcomes of neurosurgical operations performed before and during the COVID-19 pandemic: a matched cohort study.

Objective: To determine how the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic affected outcomes for all operatively managed neurosurgical patients, not only those positive for SARS-CoV-2.

Design: Matched cohort (pairwise method).

Setting: A single tertiary neurosurgical referral centre at a large UK Major Trauma Centre.
