Surgeons in gynecological oncology need to be top-notch. But how do you know if they're doing a great job? Robots might have the answer. They can gather data during surgeries. This data can create automated performance metrics (APMs). APMs can show if a surgeon is doing well or needs to improve. But
Hospitals can be scary places for kids. They're away from home, surrounded by unfamiliar faces, and dealing with pain and stress. But what if a friendly robot could make their stay a bit easier? That's the question researchers wanted to answer. They looked at many studies to see if social robots cou
Sub-Saharan Africa is grappling with a silent crisis. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is becoming a major threat to public health. Everyone is talking about how to change the behavior of doctors and patients. They also discuss improving the pipeline for new medicines. But few people are looking at th
Gambling is a game of chance. It's a game that can be a fun way to pass the time, but it's also a game that can cause a lot of problems. Gambling has been around for centuries. It's a part of human culture. But in recent years, gambling has become more accessible than ever before. This is because o
Ever wondered what's going on inside the guts of recreational runners? Well, scientists took a close look. They studied a group of runners who were not professional athletes. They looked at the gut bacteria of these runners over a 7-week period. They took samples at 4 different times. Th
Dairy farms in Wales are facing a significant challenge with antimicrobial resistance (AMR). To tackle this issue, it's crucial to understand what drives the use of antimicrobials (AMs) in these farms. A recent study delved into this by examining 21 dairy herds across Wales. The study collected a ma
Imagine tiny robots that can twist and turn, cleaning up water pollution. These aren't your average robots; they're soft, flexible, and have special powers. They can move in different ways and break down nasty pollutants. These robots are made with a clever design. They have two main parts.
In Japan, throat and voice box cancer patients often go through a surgery called non-robotic transoral surgery (NRTOS). This method is way more common than using the fancy da Vinci robot. The reason? NRTOS uses tools that can be used again and again, making it way cheaper than the robotic option.
Surgeons performing spine surgery face a major challenge. They often have to work in tight spaces with limited visibility. This can make the operation longer and less accurate. Robots are stepping in to help. These aren't your typical robots. They are sophisticated machines built to make surgeries
Imagine this: The NBA's top players are now practicing with robots. These aren't your average robots, though. They're advanced AI machines designed to make practices more efficient and effective. The Golden State Warriors are already using three different types of robots during their training sessio
