A novel permanent therapy for esophageal achalasia
IRCAD shapes up for a revolution in the learning experience creating a vibrant multimedia iPad journal in synch with cutting-edge technologies for continuing medical education. A new title, a new look, a new quarterly format—and, we hope, the best of the IRCAD heritage: with this inaugural issue, the editorial team launches a journal with a history and profile unique in the discipline. In this issue, we offer 14 original articles, including operative techniques, clinical cases, a focus on new technologies, and a cultural escape, marking out some of the directions in which we seek to move. Find out more about our online journal which complements the IRCAD worldwide on-site learning experience (IRCAD France, IRCAD Taiwan, IRCAD Brazil) and our E-learning website, WeBSurg.

Learning Dynamic Spatial Relations
Andreas Bihlmaier describes a novel method to model dynamic spatial relations by machine learning techniques. The method is applied to the task of representing the tacit knowledge of a trained camera assistant in minimally-invasive surgery. The model is then used for intraoperative control of a robot that autonomously positions the endoscope. Furthermore, a modular robotics platform is described, which forms the basis for this knowledge-based assistance system. Promising results from a complex phantom study are presented.
Networking Humans, Robots and Environments
This book dives into the heart of how to design distributed control architectures for heterogeneous teams of humans, robots, and automated systems, enabling them to achieve greater cooperation and autonomy through the use of network technologies. It provides a wide range of practical, proven strategies for pervasive communication and collaborative problem solving abilities of humans, robots, and their environments. Each chapter consists of a presentation of findings from the latest research in networked robots and ambient intelligence. The chapters also detail how to allow robots to achieve universal access to the extended functionality of the environment that brings various cost effective services to those in need. Readers can envision a realistic view of what can be expected from a networked human robot cooperative environment in the next decade.
Textbook of Endocrine Surgery
Textbook of Endocrine Surgery, Third Edition, is the latest edition of this highly illustrated, comprehensive guide. Edited by professors from the University of California, San Francisco, this authoritative textbook covers surgical procedures for a broad range of endocrine conditions. Enhanced by 550 full colour images and illustrations, Textbook of Endocrine Surgery is an invaluable resource for surgeons and endocrinologists.
Natural Orifice Translumenal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES)
Are you interested in using NOTES to treat your patients? Do you need a multimedia tool to guide you through all aspects of clinical management? Just as laparoscopic surgery revolutionized surgical practice in the 1980’s and 90’s, offering genuine competition to traditional open surgery, Natural Orifice Translumenal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES) presents a genuinely different alternative for surgeons and patients alike as we move forward in the 21st century. Advantages over laparoscopic surgery include lower anesthesia requirements, faster recovery and shorter hospital stays, avoidance of transabdominal wound infections, less immunosuppression, better postoperative pulmonary and diaphragmat...
