Purpose: Although surgical procedures including robotic surgery in radical prostatectomy have evolved, urinary incontinence after surgery are still not resolved. This study was to evaluate the risk of clinically significant incontinence after radical prostatectomy according to various procedural types.

Materials And Methods: The retrospective cohort study included prostate cancer (n=14,484) in South Korea between 2002 and 2017 as shown in the National Health Insurance Data.

Neoadjuvant therapy, particularly the combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy, has become standard in treating locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). While this approach improves pathologic responses, its effect on postoperative outcomes following robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) is not fully characterized. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of neoadjuvant therapy on postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing RATS for NSCLC, focusing on operative time, conversion rates to open surgery, and postoperative complications.

Article Synopsis
  • Treadmill-based Robotic-Assisted Gait Training (t-RAGT) enhances rehabilitation by using robots to help patients walk, but the role of physiotherapists and the type of feedback provided to patients needs further exploration.
  • This study examined the effects of different types of visual feedback (chart, emoticon, game) and levels of physiotherapist-patient interaction (low, medium, high) on patients' attention and emotional engagement using eye-tracking and EEG methods.
  • Results indicated that both the type of feedback and the level of interaction influenced patients' visual attention and emotional response, particularly regarding the therapist's involvement and the areas of interest monitored during the t-RAGT sessions.

Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) represents a revolutionary approach in targeted radiation treatment for cancer. While the therapy's potential in precise targeting is well-recognized, a critical bottleneck remains in the accurate positioning of patients for treatment delivery. This study proposes a novel automated robotic-assisted patient positioning system specifically engineered for BNCT applications.
