According to news reporting originating from Tia njin, People's Republic of China, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RAR C), laparoscopic radical cystectomy (LRC), and open radical cystectomy (ORC) in bladder cancer. A literature search for network meta-analysis was conducted usin g international databases up to February 29, 2024." Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from Tianjin First Central H ospital, "Outcomes of interest included baseline characteristics, perioperative outcomes and oncological outcomes. Forty articles were finally selected for incl usion in the network meta-analysis. Both LRC and RARC were associated with longe r operative time, smaller amount of estimated blood loss, lower transfusion rate , shorter time to regular diet, fewer incidences of complications, and fewer pos itive surgical margin compared to ORC. LRC had a shorter time to flatus than ORC , while no difference between RARC and ORC was observed. Considering lymph node yield, there were no differences among LRC, RARC and ORC. In addition, there wer e statistically significant lower transfusion rates (OR=-0.15, 95% CI=-0.47 to 0.17), fewer overall complication rates (OR=-0.39, 95% CI=-0.79 to 0.00), fewer minor complication rates (OR=-0.23, 95% C I=-0.48 to 0.02), fewer major complication rates (OR=-0.23, 95% CI =-0.68 to 0.21), fewer positive surgical margin rates (OR=0.22, 95% CI=-0.27 to 0.68) in RARC group compared with LRC group. LRC and RARC could be c onsidered as a feasible and safe alternative to ORC for bladder cancer. Notably, compared with LRC, RARC may benefit from significantly lower transfusion rates, fewer complications and lower positive surgical margin rates."

According to news reporting from Sun Yat-Sen University by NewsRx jour nalists, research stated, "Industrial robots are of great significance to the lo ng-term development of family firms. Drawing on the lens of the principal-princi pal conflict, this paper aims to investigate the influence of family non-executi ve directors on robot adoption in Chinese family firms." Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from Sun Yat-Sen University: "This paper selects the family firms in China from 2011 to 2019 as the sample. Furthermore, the authors manually collected the family non-executive directors a nd constructed the robot adoption variable utilizing data sourced from the Inter national Federation of Robotics. In brief, this paper constructs a comprehensive framework of the mechanisms and additional tests pertaining to the influence of family non-executive directors on robot adoption. This paper finds that family non-executive directors can promote robot adoption in family firms. The underlyi ng mechanism analysis shows that family non-executive directors promote robot ad option by exerting financial and human effects. This paper further finds that th e characteristics of family non-executive directors, such as kinship, differenti al shareholding and excessive directors, affect the role of family non-executive directors. Finally, robot adoption can improve future performance, and the prom otional effect is more evident when family members are non-executive directors. This paper contributes to the related literature from the following two aspects. Firstly, this paper decomposes the types of family directors to understand the role of family non-executive directors, which challenges the assumption that fam ily board members are homogeneous in family firms."

According to news reporting out of the Uni versity of Sharjah by NewsRx editors, research stated, "Drought is deemed a majo r natural disaster that can lead to severe economic and social implications. Dro ught indices are utilized worldwide for drought management and monitoring." Our news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from University of Sh arjah: "However, as a result of the inherent complexity of drought phenomena and hydroclimatic condition differences, no universal drought index is available fo r effectively monitoring drought across the world. Therefore, this study aimed t o develop a new meteorological drought index to describe and forecast drought ba sed on various artificial intelligence (AI) models: decision tree (DT), generali zed linear model (GLM), support vector machine, artificial neural network, deep learning, and random forest. A comparative assessment was conducted between the developed AI-based indices and nine conventional drought indices based on their correlations with multiple drought indicators. Historical records of five drough t indicators, namely runoff, along with deep, lower, root, and upper soil moistu re, were utilized to evaluate the models' performance. Different combinations of climatic datasets from Alice Springs, Australia, were utilized to develop and t rain the AI models. The results demonstrated that the rainfall anomaly drought i ndex was the best conventional drought index, scoring the highest correlation (0 .718) with the upper soil moisture. The highest correlation between the new and conventional indices was found between the DT-based index and the rainfall anoma ly index at a value of 0.97, whereas the lowest correlation was 0.57 between the GLM and the Palmer drought severity index. The GLM-based index achieved the bes t performance according to its high correlations with conventional drought indic ators, e.g., a correlation coefficient of 0.78 with the upper soil moisture."

Our news editors obtained a quote from the research, "A consecutive series of 30 R-TKA was undertaken by a single surgeon utilising the described technique. at echnique to dynamically assess the PFJ intraoperatively, pre- and post-implantation was developed. A full set of data from 9 cases was then collected and reViewed for analysis. A series of dynamic PFJ tracks collected intra-operatively pre-and postimplantation are presented. Furthermore, a full assessment of PFJ ove r and under-stuffing through a 90° arc of flexion is illustrated. Finally, a pre-and post-centre of rotation for the PFJ was defined and measured. The describe d technique was defined over a series of 30 R-TKA using the described robotic pl atform. Nine cases were analysed to determine what data could be measured using the robotic platform. Intra-operative real-time data allowed a visual assessment of PFJ tracking through a range of motion of 0°-90° flexion pre- and post-impla ntation. PFJ over and under-stuffing was also assessed intra-operatively through a range of motion of 0°-90° flexion. Post-operative analysis allowed a more det ailed study to be performed, including defining a pre- and post-implantation cen tre of rotation (COR) for the patella. Defining the COR allowed the definition o f a patella plane. Furthermore, patella mediolateral shift in full extension, an d end flexion could be measured. Intra-operative assessment of the PFJ in TKA is challenging. Robotic tools have been developed to improve measurement, accuracy of delivery and outcomes in TKA."
