The first Orsi Innotech Surgical AI Day conference took place on the 14th and 15th of December 2023, at Orsi Academy located in Melle, Belgium. Orsi Academy is an open and inclusive ecosystem for the safe and effective implementation of new technologies in medical practice, with a specific focus on training in minimal invasive surgery. Orsi Academy is an independent institution that is endorsed by multiple universities and collaborates with numerous scientific societies and industrial partners. The infrastructure is constructed to allow these stakeholders to work together if appreciated but in full privacy if needed. Using by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and computer vision, Orsi Academy’s technical department, Orsi Innotech [Figure 1A], aims to improve surgical training with the ultimate goal to achieve better patient outcomes by safer and more patient-centered surgery. The Surgical AI Day conference was organized by Orsi Academy’s CEO Prof. Dr. Alexandre Mottrie together with Dr. Ir. Pieter De Backer, Medical Doctor (MD) and Head of the Innotech department.
Inflation is regarded by the many as a menace that damages business and can only make life worse for households. Keeping it low depends critically on ensuring that firms and workers expect it to be low. So expectations of inflation are a key influence on national economic welfare. This collection pulls together a galaxy of world experts (including Roy Batchelor, Richard Curtin and Staffan Linden) on inflation expectations to debate different aspects of the issues involved. The main focus of the volume is on likely inflation developments. A number of factors have led practitioners and academic observers of monetary policy to place increasing emphasis recently on inflation expectations. One is...
The statistics profession is at a unique point in history. The need for valid statistical tools is greater than ever; data sets are massive, often measuring hundreds of thousands of measurements for a single subject. The field is ready to move towards clear objective benchmarks under which tools can be evaluated. Targeted learning allows (1) the full generalization and utilization of cross-validation as an estimator selection tool so that the subjective choices made by humans are now made by the machine, and (2) targeting the fitting of the probability distribution of the data toward the target parameter representing the scientific question of interest. This book is aimed at both statisticia...
Robotic Urologic Surgery, Second Edition is an updated and revised technical manual focusing on the various robotic approaches to robotic urologic surgical procedures. This book provides instructions on how to develop a successful robotics program, learn the various techniques, and improve outcomes. It also aids the reader with helpful hints to avoid pitfalls. Robotic Urologic Surgery, Second Edition includes up-to-date contributions from leading robotic urologic surgeons from around the world. The detailed body of data which this book provides is supported by schematic diagrams and anatomic photographs to illustrate the concept being discussed. Robotic Urologic Surgery, Second Edition is an essential guide for all urologists as a reference to establish a robotics program, refine their surgical technique, and provide information to patients.
This book addresses knowledge gaps in RARP in 3 key sections: 1) Step-by-step approach including multiple technique options and innovations, 2) Patient selection, safety, outcomes, and 3) Preparing the patient for surgery. The order is more based upon knowledge priority rather than a chronologic sequence in which part 3 would go first. Part two allows more summary and commentary on evidence and part three allows some creative content that is otherwise hard to find in one place—medical evaluations, imaging, clinical trials, patient education, etc. This textbook emphasizes content for the advanced skills surgeon in that multiple techniques are presented as well as state of the art evidence. ...
This updated edition offers guidance on the application of robotic surgery in urology. Each technique is described in detail, with careful explanation of the different surgical steps The book brings together leading robotic surgeons from around the world and utilises their knowledge once again to update and provide a manual that covers all the oncologic and reconstructive procedures in urologic surgery that are performed with robotic assistance This book serves as an ideal reference work for all urologists and should contribute in supporting new robotic teams
The world's best poker players can read their opponents' most subtle expressions and behaviours, no matter how hard their opponents try to hide them. A tapping foot, a change in vocal tone, and countless other clues tell an informed player what cards the opponent is holding and how they're likely to be played. The Pocket Idiot's Guide to Poker Tells explains everything amateur poker players need to start interpreting tells and using them to develop poker intuition.
