Liver resection is an effective treatment for NCRNNE liver metastases; it gives satisfactory long-term survival especially in metachronous disease, in patients with metastases from urogenital and breast tumors and when R0 procedures can be performed.
This paper aims to provide a critical review of the studies dealing with Educational Robotics for children with Neurodevelopmental Disorders. We aimed to investigate whether in the literature there is a sound evidence that activities with robots improve the abilities and performances of children with special needs. This paper explores the methodological aspects as well as the outcomes of the selected studies to provide a clear picture of the state-of-the-art on this topic. After a systematic search in the online database via keyword searches, 15 scientific papers were included in this review. We applied strict selection criteria limiting our review only to papers reporting educational robotics activities with children (from 3 up to 19 years old) with a diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders, in which the children had the opportunity to somehow program the behaviours of real robots. The majority of experiences showed improvements in the participants' performance or abilities, their engagement and involvement, communication/interaction with peers, during robotics sessions. Some studies reported mixed results, calling for the need to carefully design the objective and the related activities of each experience.
We report on a set of performance measurements executed
on VMEbus MVME5500 boards equipped with MPC7455
PowerPC processor, running four different operating systems:
Wind River VxWorks, Linux, RTAI, and Xenomai. Some components
of RTAI and Xenomai have been ported to the target
architecture. Interrupt latency, rescheduling and inter-process
communication times are compared in the framework of a sample
real-time application.
Performance measurements on Gigabit Ethernet network communication
have also been carried out on the target boards. To this
purpose, we have considered the Linux IP stack and RTnet, an
open-source hard real-time network protocol stack for Xenomai
and RTAI, which was ported to the considered architecture.
Performance measurements show that the tested open-source
software is suitable for hard real-time applications
TAP block plus local wound infiltration in the setting of laparoscopic colorectal surgery and ERAS program guarantees a reduced use of opioid analgesics and good pain control allowing the improvement of essential items of enhanced recovery pathways.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
