Objective
The objective of this work is to introduce a set of similarity metrics for comparing surgical process models (SPMs). SPMs are progression models of surgical interventions that support quantitative analyses of surgical activities, supporting systems engineering or process optimization.Methods and materials
Five different similarity metrics are presented and proven. These metrics deal with several dimensions of process compliance in surgery, including granularity, content, time, order, and frequency of surgical activities. The metrics were experimentally validated using 20 clinical data sets each for cataract interventions, craniotomy interventions, and supratentorial tumor resections. The clinical data sets were controllably modified in simulations, which were iterated ten times, resulting in a total of 600 simulated data sets. The simulated data sets were subsequently compared to the original data sets to empirically assess the predictive validity of the metrics.Results
We show that the results of the metrics for the surgical process models correlate significantly (p < 0.001) with the induced modifications and that all metrics meet predictive validity. The clinical use of the metrics was exemplarily, as demonstrated by assessment of the learning curves of observers during surgical process model acquisition.Conclusion
Measuring similarity between surgical processes is a complex task. However, metrics for computing the similarity between surgical process models are needed in many uses in the field of medical engineering. These metrics are essential whenever two SPMs need to be compared, such as during the evaluation of technical systems, the education of observers, or the determination of surgical strategies. These metrics are key figures that provide a solid base for medical decisions, such as during validation of sensor systems for use in operating rooms in the future. 相似文献2.
ObjectiveEach surgical procedure is unique due to patient’s and also surgeon’s particularities. In this study, we propose a new approach to distinguish surgical behaviors between surgical sites, levels of expertise and individual surgeons thanks to a pattern discovery method.MethodsThe developed approach aims to distinguish surgical behaviors based on shared longest frequent sequential patterns between surgical process models. To allow clustering, we propose a new metric called SLFSP. The approach is validated by comparison with a clustering method using Dynamic Time Warping as a metric to characterize the similarity between surgical process models.ResultsOur method outperformed the existing approach. It was able to make a perfect distinction between surgical sites (accuracy of 100%). We reached an accuracy superior to 90% and 85% for distinguishing levels of expertise and individual surgeons.ConclusionClustering based on shared longest frequent sequential patterns outperformed the previous study based on time analysis.SignificanceThe proposed method shows the feasibility of comparing surgical process models, not only by their duration but also by their structure of activities. Furthermore, patterns may show risky behaviors, which could be an interesting information for surgical training to prevent adverse events. 相似文献

Treatment of mandibular condylar process fractures may be conservative or surgical. Both treatment approaches aim to reconstruct the articulating joint surfaces in a physiological position to the discoligamentary structures. The study comprised 1812 patients of Wuerzburg University who presented with a fracture of the mandibular condylar process between 1981 and 2001. Besides conservative management options, surgical interventions using mini-plate osteosynthesis and the Wuerzburg lag screw plate were studied for post-treatment changes. Statistical analysis revealed that surgical osteosynthesis is superior to merely conservative therapy in terms of post-treatment dysgnathic severity. Hence, surgical osteosynthesis is advocated especially in patients with high condylar fractures or dislocated fractures in order to ideally achieve 'restitutio ad integrum'. 相似文献

The radiographic photogrammetry is applied, for locating anatomical landmarks in space, from their two projected images. The
goal of this paper is to define a personalized geometric model of bones, based uniquely on photogrammetric reconstructions.
The personalized models of bones are obtained from two successive steps: their functional frameworks are first determined
experimentally, then, the 3D bone representation results from modeling techniques. Each bone functional framework is issued
from direct measurements upon two radiographic images. These images may be obtained using either perpendicular (spine and
sacrum) or oblique incidences (pelvis and lower limb). Frameworks link together their functional axes and punctual landmarks.
Each global bone volume is decomposed in several elementary components. Each volumic component is represented by simple geometric
shapes. Volumic shapes are articulated to the patient’s bone structure. The volumic personalization is obtained by best fitting
the geometric model projections to their real images, using adjustable articulations. Examples are presented to illustrating
the technique of personalization of bone volumes, directly issued from the treatment of only two radiographic images. The
chosen techniques for treating data are then discussed. The 3D representation of bones completes, for clinical users, the
information brought by radiographic images. 相似文献

BackgroundWe aimed to analyze the surface morphology of the distal femur in three dimensions for the healthy elderly, based on the concept that the surgical epicondylar axis (SEA) is a better surrogate for the flexion–extension axis of the knee joint.MethodsWe studied 77 healthy elderly volunteers (40 males and 37 females; age, 68 ± 6 years). The medial and lateral contact lines were calculated three-dimensionally, using the highest points of the medial and lateral condyles in 201 cross-sectional planes around the SEA (every 1°, −60° (hyperextension) to 140° (flexion)). A piecewise fitting function consisting of two linear segments was applied to detect the inflection point of the constant radii in the sagittal plane. The main assessment parameters were knee flexion angle at the inflection point of the radius (inflection angle), mean radius from 0° to the inflection angle (constant radius), and coronal tilt angle of the contact line.ResultsThe inflection angles, constant radii, and coronal tilt angles were 78.2 ± 8.6°, 26.1 ± 2.3 mm, and −0.6 ± 3.2° and 65.6 ± 9.2°, 23.9 ± 2.2 mm, and 6.2 ± 3.2° in the medial and lateral condyles, respectively (all, P < 0.001). The coronal alignment was 88.7 ± 2.2°.ConclusionsThe medial and lateral femoral condyles showed asymmetrical morphologies with the almost ‘constant’ radius of sagittal curvature from 0° to around 80° and 65° of knee flexion, respectively. 相似文献

Patient-centered medical home is defined as an approach for providing comprehensive primary care that facilitates partnerships between individual patients and their personal providers. The current state of the practice transformation process is ad hoc and no methodological basis exists for transforming a practice into a patient-centered medical home. Practices and hospitals somehow accomplish the transformation and send the transformation information to a certification agency, such as the National Committee for Quality Assurance, completely ignoring the development and maintenance of the processes that keep the medical home concept alive. Many recent studies point out that such a transformation is hard as it requires an ambitious whole-practice reengineering and redesign. As a result, the practices suffer change fatigue in getting the transformation done. In this paper, we focus on the complexities of the practice transformation process and present a robust ontological model for practice transformation. The objective of the model is to create an understanding of the practice transformation process in terms of key process areas and their activities. We describe how our ontology captures the knowledge of the practice transformation process, elicited from domain experts, and also discuss how, in the future, that knowledge could be diffused across stakeholders in a healthcare organization. Our research is the first effort in practice transformation process modeling. To build an ontological model for practice transformation, we adopt the Methontology approach. Based on the literature, we first identify the key process areas essential for a practice transformation process to achieve certification status. Next, we develop the practice transformation ontology by creating key activities and precedence relationships among the key process areas using process maturity concepts. At each step, we employ a panel of domain experts to verify the intermediate representations of the ontology. Finally, we implement a prototype of the practice transformation ontology using Protégé. 相似文献

Cognitive‐behavioral therapy is a highly effective treatment of health anxiety, but it remains unclear through which mechanisms treatment effects prevail. Some evidence suggests that patients acquire skills—understood as techniques helping them reach therapy goals—through psychotherapy. In the current study, an observer‐based rating scale for the skills assessment of patients with health anxiety (SAPH) was developed and validated in a pilot study. Based on 177 videotapes, four independent raters evaluated the frequency of skills acquired during cognitive and exposure therapy among 66 patients diagnosed with health anxiety with the SAPH. Predictive validity was evaluated by the Yale–Brown Obsessive‐Compulsive Scale for Hypochondriasis. The SAPH demonstrated good interrater reliability (ICC(1,2) = .88, p < .001, 95% CI [.81, .92]) and internal consistency (α = .94). Although patient skills did not significantly increase during three sessions, they significantly predicted a reduction in health anxiety symptoms at the end of treatment (R2 = .35). Patients' skills are highly important within the treatment of health anxiety. By providing external ratings of patients' skills with good psychometric properties, our pilot data suggest that the SAPH may complement current tools for the assessment of skills, specifically in targeting health anxiety. 相似文献

Clinical guidelines can improve the quality of care in multiple trauma. In our Department of Trauma Surgery a specific guideline is available paper-based as a set of flowcharts. This format is appropriate for the use by experienced physicians but insufficient for electronic support of learning, workflow and process optimization. A formal and logically consistent version represented with a standardized meta-model is necessary for automatic processing. In our project we transferred the paper-based into an electronic format and analyzed the structure with respect to formal errors. Several errors were detected in seven error categories. The errors were corrected to reach a formally and logically consistent process model. In a second step the clinical content of the guideline was revised interactively using a process-modeling tool. Our study reveals that guideline development should be assisted by process modeling tools, which check the content in comparison to a meta-model. The meta-model itself could support the domain experts in formulating their knowledge systematically. To assure sustainability of guideline development a representation independent of specific applications or specific provider is necessary. Then, clinical guidelines could be used for eLearning, process optimization and workflow management additionally. 相似文献

The surgical navigation system has experienced tremendous development over the past decades for minimizing the risks and improving the precision of the surgery. Nowadays, Augmented Reality (AR)-based surgical navigation is a promising technology for clinical applications. In the AR system, virtual and actual reality are mixed, offering real-time, high-quality visualization of an extensive variety of information to the users (Moussa et al., 2012) [1]. For example, virtual anatomical structures such as soft tissues, blood vessels and nerves can be integrated with the real-world scenario in real time. In this study, an AR-based surgical navigation system (AR-SNS) is developed using an optical see-through HMD (head-mounted display), aiming at improving the safety and reliability of the surgery. With the use of this system, including the calibration of instruments, registration, and the calibration of HMD, the 3D virtual critical anatomical structures in the head-mounted display are aligned with the actual structures of patient in real-world scenario during the intra-operative motion tracking process. The accuracy verification experiment demonstrated that the mean distance and angular errors were respectively 0.809 ± 0.05 mm and 1.038° ± 0.05°, which was sufficient to meet the clinical requirements. 相似文献

Intradepartmental consultations (ICs) are important for quality assurance (QA) and ensuring diagnostic accuracy in surgical pathology. Few studies have reviewed pathologist factors that influence IC rates. Our study reviews IC data and factors that influence both formal (written) and informal (verbal) consultation practices among pathologists in academic and community hospital settings. Formal IC records from the academic hospital were collected and academic and community pathologists were invited to complete a survey about their IC practices. All centers had a formalized process for documenting ICs; however, 92% of academic and 90% of community pathologists also requested informal IC. The top reasons for selecting a particular colleague for IC was perceived level of expertise; however, interpersonal relationships and office proximity had a greater impact on informal IC practice. Top reasons for requesting a formal IC were mandatory (subspecialty defined) consultation and uncertainty regarding pathological findings. Advice on wording was a common reason for informal IC. Written documentation of IC aids in QA and determination of IC metrics; however, informal, undocumented ICs still occur. Reasons for IC and choice of consulting pathologist are multifactorial, and identifying these can help target quality improvement initiatives. 相似文献

Animal models in the investigation of anorexia 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Anorexia nervosa (AN) is an eating disorder of unknown origin that most commonly occurs in women and usually has its onset in adolescence. Patients with AN invariably have a disturbed body image and an intense fear of weight gain. There is currently no definitive treatment for this disease, which carries a 20% mortality over 20 years. Development of an appropriate animal model of AN has been difficult, as the etiology of this eating disorder likely involves a complex interaction between genetic, environmental, social, and cultural factors. In this review, we focus on several possible rodent models of AN. In our laboratory, we have developed and studied three different mouse models of AN based on clinical profiles of the disease; separation stress, activity, and diet restriction (DR). In addition, we discuss the spontaneous mouse mutation anx/anx and several mouse gene knockout models, which have resulted in an anorexic phenotype. We highlight what has been learned from each of these models and possibilities for future models. It is hoped that a combination of the study of such models, together with genetic and clinical studies in patients, will lead to more rational and successful prevention/treatment of this tragic, and often fatal, disease. 相似文献

Several phenomenological models of the oculomotor mechanics that produce saccadic eye movements have been developed. These
models have been based on measurements of macroscopic muscle and orbital tissue properties and measurements of eye kinematics
during saccades. We recorded the forces generated by the medial and lateral recti during saccades in an alert, behaving monkey
using chronically implanted force transducers. With this new data, we tested the ability of the classic saccade models to
generate realistic muscle force profiles. Errors in the predictions of the classic saccade models led to a reexamination of
the current models of extraocular muscle. Both a phenomenological, Hill-type muscle model and an approximation to Huxley's
molecular level muscle model based on the crossbridge mechanism of contraction (distribution moment model) were derived and
studied for monkey extraocular muscle. Simulations of the distribution moment model led to insights suggesting (i) specific
modifications in the lumped force/velocity relationship in the Hill-type model that resulted in this type of phenomenological
model being able to generate realistic dynamics in extraocular muscle during saccades; (ii) the distribution of activity in
the different fiber types in extraocular muscle may be central to the characteristics exhibited by the muscle during saccades;
(iii) the transient properties of lengthening muscle such as yielding are not significant during saccades; and (iv) the series
elastic component in active muscle may be predominantly generated by the elastic properties of the cross-bridges.
