“…An example is enhanced imaging to overcome the limitations of human eyes, images via cameras, intelligent systems for real-time feedback, surgeon control consoles, haptic feedback, artificial intelligence, automated surgery, etc. (Chang et al 2018). High-resolution of postmortem MRI, also called virtual autopsy or virtopsy, has become an essential technique for histopathological investigation, particularly neuroimaging analysis.…”

Purpose Many autopsies, including COVID-19 cases, will be carried out where the cause of death, including COVID-19 cases, is unknown and the mortuary staffs will possibly be exposed to infectious bone dust and secretions. To help our funeral colleagues minimize their risk of infection, this manipulator was created to help prevent such serious events, as well as other conditions related to airborne diseases. This article provides some technical details necessary for creating an autopsy saw, including the machinery design, control system design, specification of devices, and other abilities of this machine. Methods The manipulator consists of a control system, linear actuator motors, a gearbox with DC gear motor, DC gear servo coreless motor, and the out-runner brushless DC electric motor. Results The results showed that the manipulator can be assembled to fit to, and be removed from, an autopsy bed without drilling into the bed surfaces. There is adjustment of the cutting range, both vertically and horizontally, via a remote control. The saw frame can be rotated through 360°for skull and tissue cutting. The saw blade depth can be adjusted from 0 to 3 cm. The rotational speed of the saw blade can be regulated from 0 to 10,080 RPM. The cutting procedure can be controlled remotely, up to 20 m away from the manipulator. Conclusion In future projects, the instrument design should allow control incorporating "Internet of things" technology, be constructed under a multipurpose autopsy machine concept, and also autonomously conduct a full autopsy procedure.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are one of the most important causes of mortality and affecting the health status of patients. At the same time, CVDs cause a huge health and economic burden to the whole world. Although a variety of therapeutic drugs and measures have been produced to delay the progress of the disease and improve the quality of life of patients, most of the traditional therapeutic strategies can only cure the symptoms and cannot repair or regenerate the damaged ischemic myocardium. In addition, they may bring some unpleasant side effects. Therefore, it is vital to find and explore new technologies and drugs to solve the shortcomings of conventional treatments. Nanotechnology is a new way of using and manipulating the matter at the molecular scale, whose functional organization is measured in nanometers. Because nanoscale phenomena play an important role in cell signal transduction, enzyme action and cell cycle, nanotechnology is closely related to medical research. The application of nanotechnology in the field of medicine provides an alternative and novel direction for the treatment of CVDs, and shows excellent performance in the field of targeted drug therapy and the development of biomaterials. This review will briefly introduce the latest applications of nanotechnology in the diagnosis and treatment of common CVDs.

Central pncreatectomy (CP) can be one of procedures for function-preserving pancreatectomy for patients with benign or low grade malignant pancreatic tumors. Surgeons have to deal with two cut surface of the pancreas when performing CP, which can be associated with severe complication, such as postoperative pancreatic fistula. Fine and delicate surgical skill is highly required for safe CP. With the advance of minimally invasive surgery, CP is now thought to be one of appropriate procedures for function-preserving minimally invasive pancreatectomy. Robotic surgery is thought to make complicated surgical procedure easy and effective. Recently, Korean robotic surgical system, Revo-i, was successfully developed by Meeraecompany and have been proved its safety and feasibility in several recent reports. A 56-year old woman was referred for a body of pancreatic lesion. Contrast abdominopelvic CT revealed a pancreatic body tumor measuring around 1.2 cm in diameter. The patient underwent a robot-assisted central pancreatectomy using Revo-i. The patient endured the procedure well and was discharged to home at postoperative day 9. This report showed a successful case of central pancreatectomy performed with the Korean robotic surgical system Revo-i.
