Imaging evaluated remotely through telemedicine as a reliable alternative for accurate diagnosis: a systematic review
ConclusionsThe synchronous and asynchronous remote evaluation of images through the telemedicine system has demonstrated to be feasible and helpful for diagnosis of acute conditions, cancer screening, postoperative follow-up, and control of patients with chronic conditions. Therefore, the system can enhance patient access to the most qualified and specialized care globally. (Source: Health and Technology)

Identification of predicate creep under the 510(k) process: A case study of a robotic surgical device
by Charlotte Lefkovich, Sandra Rothenberg
The FDA’s 510(k) process for medical devices is based on “substantial equivalence” to devices clearedpre-1976 or legally marketed thereafter, known as predicate devices. In the last decade, several high-profile device recalls have drawn attention to this regulatory clearance process and rese archers have raised questions about the validity of the 510(k) process as a broad clearance mechanism. One of the issues raised is the risk of predicate creep, a cycle of technology change through repeated clearance of devices based on predicates with slightly different technological cha...

Comparison of the clinical efficacy of unilateral and bilateral pedicle screw short-segment fixation and fusion in the treatment of atlantoaxial fracture-dislocation
CONCLUSION: Unilateral and bilateral pedicle screw fixation and fusion can restore atlantoaxial stability and improve occipital-neck pain and neurological function in patients with atlantoaxial fracture-dislocation. The unilateral surgical procedure can be a supplementary option for patients with unilateral abnormal atlantoaxial lesions.PMID:36970926 | DOI:10.3233/THC-220721 (Source: Technology and Health Care)

Actuation system modelling and design optimization for an assistive exoskeleton for disabled and elderly with series and parallel elasticity
CONCLUSION: A lightweight, smaller design of an elastic actuation system consuming less power as compared to a rigid system was realized using this approach. This will help to reduce the battery size and hence the portability of the system could be better adopted to support elderly uses in performing daily living activities. It was established that parallel elastic actuators (PEA) can reduce the torque and power better than series elastic actuators (SEA) in performing everyday tasks for the elderly.PMID:36970915 | DOI:10.3233/THC-220145 (Source: Technology and Health Care)
