TL;DR: Both thermal ablation techniques result in a clinically significant and long-lasting volume reduction of benign thyroid nodules and the risk of regrowth and needing retreatment was lower after RFA.
Abstract: Background: Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and laser ablation (LA) are effective treatments for benign thyroid nodules Due to their relatively recent introduction into clinical practice, there are

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present advancements in sample preparation and liquid chromatographic methods made during the last 10 years for the fat-soluble vitamin (FSV) analysis in foods.
Abstract: This review presents advancements in sample preparation and liquid chromatographic methods made during the last 10 years for the fat-soluble vitamin (FSV) analysis in foods. Since activity and bioavailability of organic micronutrients (MOs) depend on the form in which they are present in a food, special emphasis has been given to the most recent techniques, instruments and approaches which have allowed the extraction and separation of various vitamin homologues as well as the comprehensive MO profiling in foods. Due to the numerous ancillary advantages, miniaturized techniques which have been applied in this analysis field are also discussed in this review. A number of selected applications are proposed to enable readers to access the most recent developments and trends aimed at gaining more in-depth knowledge of the vitamin composition of foods.

TL;DR: A novel series elastic actuator intended for the actuation system of a lower limb wearable robot, recently developed in the lab, able to deliver 300 W and has a novel architecture making its centre of mass not co-located with its axis of rotation, for an easier integration into the robotic structure.
Abstract: A safe interaction is crucial in wearable robotics in general, while in assistive and rehabilitation applications, robots may also be required to minimally perturb physiological movements, ideally acting as perfectly transparent machines. The actuation system plays a central role because the expected performance, in terms of torque, speed and control bandwidth, must not be achieved at the expense of lightness and compactness. Actuators embedding compliant elements, such as series elastic actuators, can be designed to meet the above-mentioned requirements in terms of high energy storing capacity and stability of torque control. A number of series elastic actuators have been proposed over the past 20 years in order to accommodate the needs arising from specific applications. This paper presents a novel series elastic actuator intended for the actuation system of a lower limb wearable robot, recently developed in our lab. The actuator is able to deliver 300 W and has a novel architecture making its centre of...

TL;DR: A pilot study confirms that VNS is feasible in stroke patients and can produce a slight clinical improvement in association to robotic rehabilitation, and compared to traditional stimulation, noninvasive VNS seems to be safer and more tolerable.
Abstract: The efficacy of standard rehabilitative therapy for improving upper limb functions after stroke is limited; thus, alternative strategies are needed. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) paired with rehabilitation is a promising approach, but the invasiveness of this technique limits its clinical application. Recently, a noninvasive method to stimulate vagus nerve has been developed. The aim of the present study was to explore whether noninvasive VNS combined with robotic rehabilitation can enhance upper limb functionality in chronic stroke. Safety and efficacy of this combination have been assessed within a proof-of-principle, double-blind, semirandomized, sham-controlled trial. Fourteen patients with either ischemic or haemorrhagic chronic stroke were randomized to robot-assisted therapy associated with real or sham VNS, delivered for 10 working days. Efficacy was evaluated by change in upper extremity Fugl–Meyer score. After intervention, there were no adverse events and Fugl–Meyer scores were significantly better in the real group compared to the sham group. Our pilot study confirms that VNS is feasible in stroke patients and can produce a slight clinical improvement in association to robotic rehabilitation. Compared to traditional stimulation, noninvasive VNS seems to be safer and more tolerable. Further studies are needed to confirm the efficacy of this innovative approach.
