UCD School of Public Health, Physiotherapy and Sports Science, Health Sciences Centre, University College Dublin, Dublin, Leinster, Ireland.

Background: Following Spinal Cord Injury (SCI), 53% of people develop neuropathic pain (NP). NP can be more debilitating than other consequences of SCI, and a persistent health issue. Pharmacotherapies are commonly recommended for NP management in SCI, although severe pain often remains refractory to these treatments in many sufferers.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) surgeries are commonly performed using either robotic-assisted colorectal surgery (RACS) or laparoscopic colorectal surgery (LCS). This study aimed to compare clinical and surgical outcomes between RACS and LCS for CRC patients.

Methods: We included 225 patients from Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute & Hospital (TJMUCH) between January 2021 and June 2024, divided into RACS (n=82) and LCS (n=143) groups.

The need for Artificial Intelligence (AI) in gerontology education is underscored by the potential benefits it offers in addressing loneliness and supporting social connection among older adults in long-term care (LTC) homes. While the workforce in LTC is often overburdened, AI-enabled service robots present possible solutions to enhance residents' quality of life. However, the incorporation of AI and service robots in current gerontology curricula is lacking, and the views of students on this subject remain largely unexamined.

Robotic-assisted excision of left para-aortic paraganglioma: a novel approach.

J Surg Case Rep

January 2025

Department of Endocrine Surgery, Royal Victoria Infirmary, Newcastle Upon Tyne NE1 4LP, United Kingdom.

Paragangliomas, a type of extra-adrenal tumour, albeit rare, are dangerous due to their high metastatic potential and risk of hypertensive crisis from massive catecholamine release. It typically presents with sympathetic overdrive symptoms such as diaphoresis, headache, and palpitation, accompanied by substantially high plasma metanephrines level and mass on contrasted computed tomography abdomen and pelvis, whilst some are found incidentally. In this report, we discuss a case of an extra-adrenal lesion located near susceptible major structures with extensive vascularisation, in a patient with near-death experience.

Background: Traditional freehand puncture relies on non-real-time computed tomography (CT) images, which significantly affects the accuracy of puncturing targets in the lower lung lobes with respiratory motion. This study aims to assess the safety and feasibility of a teleoperated robotic system and low-dose CT for the accurate real-time puncture of targets in the lungs of live pigs during breathing under fluoroscopic guidance.

Methods: Two puncture methods were analyzed: freehand and robot-assisted.
