Surgery

View this topic in
Surgery is an ancient medical specialty that uses operative manual and instrumental techniques on a patient to investigate and/or treat a pathological condition such as disease or injury, to help improve bodily function or appearance. An act of performing surgery may be called a surgical procedure, operation, or simply surgery. (Wikipedia.org)

  • Telepresence Robots for Medical and Homecare Applications

    This chapter explores the up-to-date research findings and industry practices in telepresence robots for medical and homecare applications, including rehabilitation and therapy, monitoring and assistance, and communication. Moreover, the key contributing factors to the success of telepresence robots are also discussed to address the future trends and opportunities. Robots have the advantages of high precision, strong consistency, and stability. Thus, in the field of medical applications, the use of robots exactly helps to overcome the technical limitations of conventional surgery performed by physicians. Telepresence helps extend not only human vision and hearing but also the sense of touch, which is important for physical rehabilitation. From the user's perspective, human-centered design is definitely critical to the success of the telepresence robot. Once the real demands can be explored and realized, telepresence robots will eventually enter our lives as new roles for modern medicine and homecare.

  • Introduction

    This chapter presents introductory material on relevance to military, overview of control strategies, fusion of hard and soft control strategies, and summary of the remaining chapters of the book "Fusion of Hard and Soft Control Strategies for the Robotic Hand." The proposed book is an outgrowth of the interdisciplinary Biomedical Sciences and Engineering (BMSE) research project exemplifying "The Third Revolution: The Convergence of Life Sciences, Physical Sciences, and Engineering." Bio‐Revolution is one of the eight strategic research thrusts that DARPA is emphasizing in response to emerging trends and national security. Electromyographic (EMG) signal is a simple and easily obtainable source of information about various movements to be used for artificial or prosthetic hand. A probabilistic model of the EMG pattern was formulated in the feature space of integral absolute value (IAV) to provide the relation between a command, represented by motion and speed variables, and the location and shape of the pattern for real‐time control of a prosthetic or robotic arm.

  • You Know It, Can You Teach It?

    For a variety of reasons, many technical experts struggle to "transfer their knowledge"--or to help others construct the knowledge that they already possess--in a classroom setting. The biggest challenge that expert will face is himself/herself. Experts must overcome their own natural abilities with their product. Several decades ago, Noel Burch developed a model for skill development that was quickly adapted by leading psychologists and educators. The model is brilliant in its simplicity and is helpful for experts, not only to understand their student's level of competency, or skill, but also--and even more importantly--to understand themselves, and why they have a hard time teaching. Generally, employers and educators alike reward the unconscious competence as the ultimate achievement. This is where experts want their skills to be in order to be a great employee.

  • Coding System for Patient Care Procedures

  • Prologue

    Examinations and tests or assessments function as motivational agents: they make some students very competitive, but all students benefit from the role of examinations and tests as formative agents. Given that the purpose of professional study is preparation to undertake work in a specific occupation, a major question is the extent to which a curriculum prepares or does not prepare students to function satisfactorily in that occupation. Assessments that make this judgment may be made at both the level of the program and the level of student learning. If education is associated with what is learnt in college and training is associated with what is learnt in industry in order to become an engineer who can practice, it is clear that education cannot be divorced from training. Industry has a vital role to play in that training. Assessment has become a preoccupation of many engineering educators.
