Twenty-first-century roboticists envision robots capable of sorting objects and packaging them, of chopping vegetables and folding clothes. But although many today believe that the only factors necessary for robots to achieve dexterous manipulation are data and artificial intelligence (AI), managing all the mundane manipulations that humans perform daily requires constant adaptation to changing conditions. These operations include tasks demanding millisecond-level responses to prevent irreparable damage, such as quickly stabilizing a slipping package or halting a knife just before it cuts into a table.

The primary objective was to assess the impact of personalized nursing intervention on postoperative outcomes, including psychological well-being, self-care ability, quality of life, and postoperative complications.
Methods: A total of 106 patients undergoing additional surgery after CIN III cold knife conization at the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University from January 2020 to April 2023 were randomly allocated into an observation group (n=53) and a control group (n=53) using a random number table method.

Introduction: Unilateral gamma knife thalamotomy (GKT) is a treatment option for pharmacoresistant tremor of various aetiologies. There have been to date no randomised controlled trials performed to assess its safety and efficacy. Our aim was to summarise a two-year multimodal observation of patients with tremor caused by Parkinson's Disease (PD) or essential tremor (ET).
