Abstract: During clinical liver biopsy surgery, the high-precision and low-trauma advantages of the biopsy robot (BR) are hindered due to the interference of respiratory motion (RM). To mitigate the ...

Toxic “forever chemicals” are altering human liver function at a fundamental level by triggering both fat accumulation and cancer-linked cell damage, a new study has found. Several of these compounds, ...

Digestive system malignancies (DSMTs)-including esophageal, gastric, colorectal, liver, and pancreatic cancers-represent a major public health challenge in China. A recent national epidemiological ...
