Abstract Capsule endoscopy is a new type of technology in the diagnosis and treatment of digestive diseases, with painless and low invasive features. However, current capsule robots have many problems, such as over-sized, single function and lack of active locomotion control. This study proposed and designed a new wireless modular capsule robotic system in pipe. The modular capsule robots could move forward and backward in the pipe in the axial direction, turn in a bending environment,...

Abstract Biomedical data are complex and heterogeneous. An ample reliable quantity of data is important for understanding and exploring the domain. The work aims to integrate biomedical data from various heterogeneous sources like dictionaries or corpus and amalgamate them into a uniform format for easier access by the end-user like biologist, pharmacist, and data scientist. The proposed integrated biomedical knowledge base, BIOINTMED, has 11,299, 12,981, 4428, 61,491, 48,663,...

Abstract Artificial pancreas (AP) systems have shown to improve glucose regulation in type 1 diabetes (T1D) patients. However, full closed-loop performance remains a challenge particularly in children and adolescents, since these age groups often present the worst glycemic control. In this work, an algorithm based on switched control and time-varying IOB constraints is presented. The proposed control strategy is evaluated in silico using the FDA-approved UVA/ Padova simulator and...

We report a series of 6 melanocytic proliferations harboring both NRAS and IDH1 hotspot mutations. Clinically, there was no specific sex-ratio, ages ranged from 18 to 85 years, and the trunk and limbs were the most affected localizations. In half of the cases, progressive modification of a pre-existing nevus was reported. Morphologically, all tumors were predominantly based in the dermis and the most striking pathologic finding was the presence of a background architecture of congenital-type nevi...

I read with interest the review by Kwak et al1 on exposure to asbestos and the risk of colorectal cancer. However, I was concerned about the choice of the cohorts included in the meta-analysis (table 1 of the original publication). The authors failed to recognise that some of the publications included in their review referred to the same cohorts, and their inclusion resulted in double-counting (table 1). Overall, seven publications (16% of the total) were included by mistake, since they referred...
