For the first time, surgeons performed a fully robotic double lung transplant into the body of a patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Note ed.). This was reported by the press service of NYU Langone Health.
One such trial participant was a woman whose doctors diagnosed her with a severe form of COPD in 2010. “The use of automated robots allows us to maximize the chances of success and reduce the negative consequences that surgery brings to the body, as well as reduce the severity of postoperative pain. The opportunity to return patients to a normal quality of life is a great honor for us,” said University Associate Professor Stephanie Chang.
For the first time, scientists have successfully used an automated surgical system to perform a complex operation to remove lungs and replace them with donor organs with minimal surgical intervention. A month ago, NYU Langone Health doctors successfully transplanted a lung, and now scientists have managed to do the same for two respiratory organs.
Another proof that the future is very close: Russian scientists placed artificial intelligence into the brain of a mouse. The AI enabled the rodent to answer questions across a variety of domains and suggested correct response options using electrical stimulation of the brain. Read more about this here.
