Sentinel Node Mapping in Endometrial Cancer with Radioactive Colloid Injection: A Feasibility Study
Abstract: Role of lymphadenectomy in endometrial cancer is a much-debated one. Sentinel node mapping procedure attempts to minimize the morbidity of lymphadenectomy while providing the required prognostic information. In this study, we are attempting to detect the feasibility of SLN detection in early endometrial cancer by using radioactive technetium colloid injection. This is a prospective non-randomized single-institution study where patients with apparently early endometrial cancer without enlarged lymph nodes underwent preoperative …

Comparison of Recovery Profile for Total Intravenous Anaesthesia (TIVA) Using Propofol And Remifentanil in Laparoscopic Surgeries
Abstract: Total Intravenous Anaesthesia (TIVA) has become an increasingly preferred technique in modern anaesthetic practice due to advantages such as reduced postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), improved hemodynamic stability, minimal environmental impact, and faster recovery compared to conventional inhalational anesthesia. Propofol in combination with remifentanil is widely used for TIVA because of its rapid onset and offset of action, which supports quick postoperative awakening and enhanced patient satisfaction. Target Controlled Infusion …

Quantitative Image-Based Assessment of Degradation Patterns in Polymer-Based Medical Implants
Abstract: Polymer-based medical devices are widely used in clinical practice, where long-term material degradation can compromise performance and patient safety. Traditional polymer degradation studies predominantly rely on laboratory-based experiments, which often fail to capture real-world operational and usage conditions. In this study, a multimodal, data-driven framework is proposed for the quantitative assessment of degradation patterns in polymer-based medical devices using publicly available clinical failure data. Structured operational parameters, including cumulative usage …
