Sensory feedback during speech: The brain attunes to more than just sound
Using robotics to manipulate the brain's perception of jaw movement while words are spoken, researchers have deepened our understanding of the importance of non-auditory sensory cues in the brain's control of speech. view more (2006-10-10)
Should children undergo surgery without a long period of fasting after feeding?
Blood glucose levels in a lot of patients fed normal liquid food (NLF) and a high calorie diet (HCD) were high. view more (2009-10-29)
New robotic repair system will fix ailing satellites
Researchers at Queen's University are developing a new robotic system to service more than 8,000 satellites now orbiting the Earth, beyond the flight range of ground-based repair operations. view more (2008-10-03)
Robotic milking wins further investment
Scottish company IceRobotics has taken a further step towards bringing its innovative robotic milking technology to market thanks to a second round investment package of £430,000. This includes £75,000 from NESTA (the National Endowment for Science, Technology & the Arts), the organisation that invests in UK creativity and... view more... (2004-01-09)
SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE IN DEATH RATE AFTER BYPASS SURGERY FOR PEOPLE WITH ANAEMIA (p 1749)
Anaemic patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery could have up to a five-fold increased risk of death in the days after surgery compared with patients who have normal haemoglobin concentrations, suggest authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET. People with anaemia (individuals with a haemoglobin concentration of... view more... (2002-05-15)
Mars Sample Return: bridging robotic and human exploration
The first robotic mission to return samples to Earth from Mars took a further step toward realisation with the recent publication of a mission design report by the iMARS Working Group. The report defines key elements of the future internationally-funded mission involving the cooperation of ESA, NASA and other national agencies. view more (2008-07-23)
Epilepsy Study Shows Memory Loss After Brain Surgery
Epilepsia, the official publication of the International League Against Epilepsy, recently published a one-year follow-up study that finds some post-surgical epilepsy patients have a significant decline in verbal memory. This type of memory loss is associated with learning, recall and recognition. view more (2004-10-12)
Depression and anxiety improve after epilepsy surgery
Depression and anxiety are common problems for people whose epilepsy cannot be controlled by medication. A new study found that depression and anxiety improve significantly after epilepsy surgery. view more (2005-12-13)
Smoking can harm the long-term effects of some oral surgery procedures
A study in the September issue of the Journal of Periodontology (JOP) found that smokers had less desirable long term results following periodontal plastic surgery than non-smokers. view more (2007-09-19)
Robotic telescope unravels mystery of cosmic blasts
Scientists have used the world's largest robotic telescope to make the earliest-ever measurement of the optical polarisation* of a Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) just 203 seconds after the start of the cosmic explosion. This finding, which provides new insight into GRB physics, is published in Science today (15th March 2007). view more (2007-03-19)
Robot wheelchair may give patients more independence
Engineers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) are developing a robotic system that may offer wheelchair-dependent people independent, powered mobility and the ability, depending on patient status, to move to and from beds, chairs and toilets without assistance. view more (2006-10-02)
Long waiting lists do not reflect a general failure of the NHS
Despite widespread political and media attention about long waiting lists, a study in this week's BMJ finds that in most instances, substantial numbers of patients waiting longer than six months for elective surgery are restricted to a small number of hospitals. Researchers at the University of Bristol examined the distribution of patients waiting... view more... (2003-01-22)
Cincinnati Surgeon Leads First Test of Mobile Robotic Surgery
A team of military, telecommunications and surgical experts led by University of Cincinnati (UC) faculty are using an unmanned aircraft and sophisticated communication tools to take the next step toward making "telesurgery" a reality. view more (2006-06-06)
EC Funding Boost For Revolutionary Robot
Staffordshire University is leading a pan-European project worth £2.5 million to develop a revolutionary concept in robotic engineering which will give disabled people greater freedom. The Flexibot is the brainchild of Professor Mike Topping and his team which is based at the University's Centre for Rehabilitation Robotics. A world-wide... view more... (2001-06-11)
No Evidence That Obese People Are At Higher Risk Of Complications After Surgery (pp 2001, 2032)
Results of a prospective study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that excluding obese people from surgery because of fears about postoperative complications is unjustified. Despite a lack of convincing evidence, obese people are thought to be at a higher risk of complications after surgery than those who are not obese. Pierre-Alain... view more... (2003-06-11)
PREOPERATIVE RADIOTHERAPY IMPROVES OUTCOME IN RECTAL CANCER (PP 1285, 1291)
Preoperative radiotherapy reduces risk of local recurrence and death from rectal cancer, conclude authors of a systematic overview published in this week's issue of The Lancet. There are different opinions about when it is best to give radiotherapy for rectal cancer. In Scandinavia, the Netherlands, and some other European countries, radiotherapy... view more...

Britain takes a trip to the Red Planet
A model of Beagle 2 is on public show at the Royal Society's annual summer science exhibition, New Frontiers in Science, on 16 and 17 June. Members of the scientific and engineering team will be on hand to discuss the problems of building this sophisticated robotic package run on only the power of a light bulb, and to explore the implications of... view more...

Aurora Space Exploration Programme's proposal mulls take off in May
Scientists working with the European Science Foundation (ESF) are putting the finishing touches to an ambitious programme of research for the exploration of the Moon and Mars. They expect to publish their proposals in May. view more (2007-04-05)
Surgery best option for preventing recurrence of venous leg ulcers (p 1854)
A UK study in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlights how surgery in addition to compression treatment could substantially reduce the risk of recurrent leg ulcers. Venous leg ulceration affects 1-2% of people and accounts for 1% of health costs in developed countries. Treatment includes compression, leg raising, and exercise; no randomised... view more...

Cost of waiting for gall bladder surgery is high
A significant amount of NHS money is being used to treat patients with recurrent gallstone problems while they await surgery, warn researchers in Postgraduate Medical Journal. view more (2002-12-13)
