The advance of minimally invasive surgery has been empowered by new medical/surgical robotic systems towards achieving less invasiveness, smaller or even no scars. Wireless communication possesses great potential to be utilized in miniaturized surgical robotic system. However time delay is inevitably introduced in the control loop which causes stability issues for robotic-assisted surgeries. Wave variable based teleoperation structure provides stable force reflecting teleoperation performance but with both position and force tracking performance compromised due to conservative passivity condition. Recently, we proposed a new wave variable compensated structure to improve position and force tracking performance together with energy reservoir based regulators for stability purpose. In this paper, different energy reservoir based regulators are proposed with consideration of passivity of master and slave system to avoid uncertain compensated wave variables. Experiments are designed to evaluate the performance of proposed structure in comparison with traditional wave variable structure. Quantitative analyses of the obtained results justify the efficiency of proposed method.

Background: In patients with structurally normal hearts, algorithms using surface electrocardiographic P-wave morphology are helpful to predict focal atrial tachycardia (FAT) location. However, these algorithms have not been formally assessed in patients with adult congenital heart disease (ACHD).
Objectives: This study sought to assess the efficacy of FAT-location prediction algorithms in an adult population of patients with ACHD.
How do multiple deprivations in nuanced urban and rural settings affect health differently in South Africa? Evidence from NIDS data, 2017.

Introduction/objective: Previous research on socioeconomic factors influencing health outcomes has often centred on the urban-rural divide, overlooking the nuanced variations within these categories. This study enhances our understanding by moving beyond traditional comparisons to examine the specific impacts of multiple deprivations on self-rated health across traditional authority areas, rural formal areas, urban informal areas and urban formal areas. By doing so, it captures the unique challenges and health implications associated with varying deprivation levels within these diverse contexts.

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of various methods for synchronization of follicular wave emergence (FWE) in pregnant heifers. Pregnant (60 d of gestation) Holstein heifers (n = 86) arranged in cohorts were randomly assigned to be administered 172 µg of gonadorelin acetate (GnRH), 3,300 IU of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), follicular ablation of follicles >5 mm (FA), or saline (control). Ultrasonography was performed to determine ovulation and emergence of a new follicular wave.

Typical design-based methods for weighting probability samples rely on several assumptions, including the random selection of sampled units according to known probabilities of selection and ignorable unit nonresponse. If any of these assumptions are not met, weighting methods that account for the probabilities of selection, nonresponse, and calibration may not fully account for the potential selection bias in a given sample, which could produce misleading population estimates. This analysis investigates possible selection bias in the 2019 Health Survey Mailer (HSM), a sub-study of the longitudinal Health and Retirement Study (HRS).

Background: Multifrequency MR elastography (mMRE) enables noninvasive quantification of renal stiffness in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Manual segmentation of the kidneys on mMRE is time-consuming and prone to increased interobserver variability.
Purpose: To evaluate the performance of mMRE combined with automatic segmentation in assessing CKD severity.
