Robotic mastoidectomy.
HYPOTHESIS Using image-guided surgical techniques, we propose that an industrial robot can be programmed to safely, effectively, and efficiently perform a mastoidectomy. BACKGROUND Whereas robotics is a mature field in many surgical applications, robots have yet to be clinically used in otologic surgery despite significant advantages including reliability and precision. METHODS We designed ...

However it is associated with many postoperative complications such as pain, hypoxia, dryness in throat, headache, epiphora, vestibular stenosis, crusting, synaechiae, secondary infection etc. In order ...
متن کاملScreened DNA packs faster.
Despite being negatively charged, DNA can be compacted to almost crystalline densities inside virus capsids. However, how this is achieved has been debated for years. Most theoretical models predict that attractive DNA–DNA interactions — such as those resulting from the screening effect of nearby positively charged molecules — would facilitate DNA packaging by countering the effects of DNA self...
