Abstract:

Robot is a machine with a human-like behavior which partially or completely fulfills human function when interacting with the surrounding world. Robots are divided into three types: robots with the specific program of actions, operator-controlled robots and artificial intelligence robots. No doubt, that the development of new technologies had a great impact on medicine. At present, doctors can perform operations, which seemed impossible ten years ago. Robots have become indispensable medical assistants.

Abstract:

Today, more and more people question the treatment without surgery. Thanks to modern research and the efforts of scientists a new possible way to use nano-robots was invented. The first thing to know about nanorobots in medicine is that they're not like the robots you're probably imagining. Scientists who build nanorobots are building tiny packages that can complete tasks in an automated way.

Abstract:

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is the 7th commonest cancer in Hong Kong. Improvements in radiotherapy had increased the cure. Unfortunately, up to 10% of the patient still suffered from local recurrence. Because of the deep location, nasopharyngectomy was considered a difficult operation. Developments in surgical approaches had now established nasopharyngectomy as a standard salvage for locally recurrent NPC. With improvements of endonasal endoscopic instruments and endoscopic techniques, endoscopic nasopharyngectomy as a minimally invasive surgery for salvaging small locally recurrent NPC hav

Abstract This project illustrates the use of the human's ability to balance according to his center of gravity as demonstrated in two applications. The center of gravity of a human is explained in detail in order to use it in controlling the Aldebaran NAO robot and in the robot-assisted balance training. The first application explains how a humanoid robot can mimic a human's movements via a three dimensional depth sensor where the sensor analyzes the position of a user's limbs and how the robot can lift one foot and balance on the other by redistributing the its body mass when the user lifts h

Abstract:

The surgical robot experienced rapid uptake throughout hospitals in the US despite lack of clinical evidence that it is superior to existing methods and undeterred by its high cost. This type of technology may be a “weapon” in the medical arms race hypothesis which asserts that competition among hospitals may be welfare reducing wherein it encourages resource use that is not commensurate with beneficial health outcomes. This paper is a case-study of the diffusion of the surgical robot among hospitals in Florida. We address the medical arms race hypothesis directly by investigating whether a ho

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to compare the resistance to fracture by the twisting of two nickel titanium (NiTi) rotary file systems. The Profile® GT® (GT) and the GT® Series X(TM) (GTX) files were tested to analyze the maximum torsional strength and the maximum angular deflection at the time of separation of the files. For each system, ten new files were tested at each of the following eight taper/size designations for a total of 160 files: 20/0.04, 20/0.06, 30/0.04, 30/0.06, 30/0.08, 40/0.04, 40/0.06, and 40/0.08.

Abstract:

La telechirurgia è una tecnica operatoria che permette al medico di eseguire interventi chirurgici su pazienti fisicamente distanti. Il chirurgo esegue l’intervento mediante un sistema robotico con abilità chirurgiche eccezionali, combinato con tecnologie di comunicazione che consentono lo scambio di dati tra le postazioni e l’ausilio di un monitor per il controllo continuo del campo operatorio. In questo lavoro sono analizzati due interventi chirurgici a distanza, con particolare attenzione alle principali strumentazioni e reti telematiche utilizzate. Il primo intervento chirurgico a distanz

Abstract:

This thesis examines one of the premier "big science" projects of the contemporary era - the globalised genetic mapping and sequencing initiative known as the Human Genome Project (HGP), and how Australia has responded to it. The study focuses on the relationship between the HGP, the biomedical model of health, and globalisation. It seeks to examine the ways in which the HGP shapes ways of thinking about health; the influence globalisation has on this process; and the implications of this for smaller nations such as Australia. Adopting a critical perspective grounded in political economy, t

Abstract:

When exploring the root canal flora, before and after treatment, it is crucial to eliminate bacteria from the tooth surface before entering the pulp. If not, bacteria from the surface might contaminate the root canal sample resulting in false information. When using molecular techniques, not only bacteria are to be eliminated but also DNA from bacteria to avoid contamination from the surface. The aim of the study was to examine if DNA from bacteria can be eliminated using a modified disinfection protocol. Samples from the tooth surface were taken from ten intact teeth stored in ethanol/ glycer

SAMMANFATTNING Syfte: Syftet med studien var att granska periapikala intraorala röntgenbilder avseende extern apikal rotresorption på överkäkens incisiver, före och efter retentionsbehandling med avtagbar retentionsapparatur. Syftet var också att registrera intra och inter-observatör överrensstämmelse vid bedömning av rotresorption. Metod: Studien utfördes som en randomiserad klinisk prövning. Patientmaterialet omfattade75 patienter och insamlades på specialistkliniken för ortodonti i Ystad, Sverige. Patienterna behandlades för trångställning mellan år 2001-2007 och behandlingen involverade ex

Abstract:

Bakgrund: Under en ortodontisk behandling med fast apparatur finns det en risk för att tänderna drabbas av rotresorption. Rotresorptioner kan mätas med hjälp av Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). Mätresultatet kan dock variera mellan olika observatörer och mätfel kan uppstå vilket påverkar metodens tillförlitlighet.Syfte: Att beräkna det mätfel som uppstår vid mätning av rotresorptioner som uppstår till följd av en ortodontisk behandling i CBCT-bilder och utvärdera mätmetodens tillförlitlighet. Metod: Tio ungdomar som genomgick ortodontisk behandling undersöktes med hjälp av CBCT-röntgen

Abstract:

Atherosclerosis is an insidious disease with serious morbidity and mortality including ischemic heart disease, stroke, and myocardial infarction. This condition is progressive and can start early in life eventually leading to large plaques and arterial occlusion. Two key components of this process are the immune system and lipids; in particular, LDL which accumulates within the arterial walls and macrophages which recognize and engulf oxidized-LDL (oxLDL) to form foam cells. Knowing that certain antibodies directed against bacterial antigens such as phosphorylcholine (PC) and cardiolipin (CL)
