Surgical robotics can facilitate total joint arthroplasty by providing robotic support to accurately prepare the bone, improving the ability to reproduce alignment, and restoring normal kinematics. Various robotic systems are available on the market, each tailored to specific types of surgeries and characterized by a series of features with different requirements and/or modus operandi. Here, a narrative review of the current state of surgical robotic systems for total joint knee arthroplasty is presented, covering the different categories of robots, which are classified based on the operation, requirements, and level of interaction with the surgeon. The different robotic systems include closed/open platform, image-based/imageless, and passive/active/semi-active systems. The main goal of a robotic system is to increase the accuracy and precision of the operation regardless of the type of system. Despite the short history of surgical robots, they have shown clinical effectiveness compared to conventional techniques in orthopedic surgery.

Particularly, 174,427 clinical notes of DM patients were collected from the electronic medical record (EMR) system of the Seoul National University Hospital outpatient clinic. Method : We developed a model to predict the development of DM complications. Topics developed by the topic model were exploited as the key feature of our machine-learning model. The proposed model generalized a correlation between topic structures and complications. Results : The model provided acceptable predictive performance for all four types of complications (diabetic retinopathy, diabetic nephropathy, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and cerebrovascular accident). Upon employing extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), we obtained the F1 scores of the predictions for each complication type as 0.844, 0.921, 0.831, and 0.762. Conclusion : This study shows that a machine learning project based on topic modeling can effectively predict the progress of a disease.

So the purpose of this study is to design an optimized controller that infuses appropriate amounts of exogenous insulin into the blood stream of T1DP proportional to the amount of obtained glucose from food. The nonlinear extended Bergman minimal model is used to present glucose-insulin physiological system, an interval type-2 fuzzy logic controller (IT2FLC) is utilized to infuse the proper amount of exogenous insulin. Superiority of IT2FLC in minimizing the effect of uncertainties in the system depends primarily on the best choice of footprint of uncertainty (FOU) of IT2FLC. So a comparison includes four different optimization methods for tuning FOU including hybrid grey wolf optimizer-cuckoo search (GWOCS) and fuzzy logic controller (FLC) method is constructed to select the best controller approach. The effectiveness of the proposed controller was evaluated under six different scenarios of T1DP using Matlab/Simulink platform. A 24-h scenario close to real for 100 virtual T1DPs subjected to parametric uncertainty, uncertain meal disturbance and random initial condition showed that IT2FLC accurately regulate BGL for all T1DPs within the standard safe range. The results indicated that IT2FLC using GWOCS can prevent side effect of treatment with blood-sugar-lowering medication. Also stability analysis for the system indicated that the system operates within the stability region of nonlinear system.","PeriodicalId":46898,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical Engineering Letters","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135407586","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
