Comparison of Complications in Patients with Ductal Cholangiocarcinoma (CCC) and Patients with Colorectal Liver Metastases (CRLMs) After Portal Vein Embolization (PVE): A Matched Cohort Study.

Purpose: To compare complications in patients with cholangiocarcinoma (CCC) and patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLMs) after portal vein embolization (PVE) and to identify possible predictive factors.

Material And Methods: Retrospective analysis of consecutive patients, who underwent PVE between July 2011 and March 2020. The study groups were matched for sex and age.

Development and validation of a cadaveric porcine Pseudotumor model for Oral Cancer biopsy and resection training.

Objective: The gold standard of oral cancer (OC) treatment is diagnostic confirmation by biopsy followed by surgical treatment. However, studies have shown that dentists have difficulty performing biopsies, dental students lack knowledge about OC, and surgeons do not always maintain a safe margin during tumor resection. To address this, biopsies and resections could be trained under realistic conditions outside the patient.

Eyes on the road: brain computer interfaces and cognitive distraction in traffic.

Novel wearable neurotechnology is able to provide insight into its wearer's cognitive processes and offers ways to change or enhance their capacities. Moreover, it offers the promise of hands-free device control. These brain-computer interfaces are likely to become an everyday technology in the near future, due to their increasing accessibility and affordability.

First validation of a model-based hepatic percutaneous microwave ablation planning on a clinical dataset.

A model-based planning tool, integrated in an imaging system, is envisioned for CT-guided percutaneous microwave ablation. This study aims to evaluate the biophysical model performance, by comparing its prediction retrospectively with the actual ablation ground truth from a clinical dataset in liver. The biophysical model uses a simplified formulation of heat deposition on the applicator and a heat sink related to vasculature to solve the bioheat equation.
