Background: Minimally invasive vascular intervention (MIVI) is a powerful technique for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, such as abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) and aortic dissection (AD). Navigation of traditional MIVI surgery mainly relies only on 2D digital subtraction angiography (DSA) images, which is hard to observe the 3D morphology of blood vessels and position the interventional instruments. The multi-mode information fusion navigation system (MIFNS) proposed in this paper combines preoperative CT images and intraoperative DSA images together to increase the visualization information during operations.
Results: The main functions of MIFNS were evaluated by real clinical data and a vascular model. The registration accuracy of preoperative CTA images and intraoperative DSA images were less than 1 mm. The positioning accuracy of surgical instruments was quantitatively assessed using a vascular model and was also less than 1 mm. Real clinical data used to assess the navigation results of MIFNS on AAA, TAA and AD.
Conclusions: A comprehensive and effective navigation system was developed to facilitate the operation of surgeon during MIVI. The registration accuracy and positioning accuracy of the proposed navigation system were both less than 1 mm, which met the accuracy requirements of robot assisted MIVI.

Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Hong Kong, Pokfulam, Hong Kong, China.
Micro air vehicles (MAVs) capable of high-speed autonomous navigation in unknown environments have the potential to improve applications like search and rescue and disaster relief, where timely and safe navigation is critical. However, achieving autonomous, safe, and high-speed MAV navigation faces systematic challenges, necessitating reduced vehicle weight and size for high-speed maneuvering, strong sensing capability for detecting obstacles at a distance, and advanced planning and control algorithms maximizing flight speed while ensuring obstacle avoidance. Here, we present the safety-assured high-speed aerial robot (SUPER), a compact MAV with a 280-millimeter wheelbase and a thrust-to-weight ratio greater than 5.

Wearable augmented reality in neurosurgery offers significant advantages by enabling the visualization of navigation information directly on the patient, seamlessly integrating virtual data with the real surgical field. This ergonomic approach can facilitate a more intuitive understanding of spatial relationships and guidance cues, potentially reducing cognitive load and enhancing the accuracy of surgical gestures by aligning critical information with the actual anatomy in real-time. This study evaluates the benefits of a novel AR platform, VOSTARS, by comparing its targeting accuracy to that of the gold-standard electromagnetic (EM) navigation system, Medtronic StealthStation S7.

Transitions between chiral rotational locomotion modes occur in a variety of active individuals and populations, such as sidewinders, self-propelled chiral droplets, and dense bacterial suspensions. Despite recent progress in the study of active matter, general principles governing rotational chiral transition remain elusive. Here, we study, experimentally and theoretically, rotational locomotion and its chiral transition in a 2D polyacrylamide (PAAm)-based BZ gel driven by Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction-diffusion waves.
