Article Abstract
Minimally invasive procedures, such as endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV), benefit from the increased dexterity and safety that surgical continuum robots can bring. However, due to their natural compliance, new compatible end-effectors, such as graspers or scissors, must be developed and their actuation must be considered when developing the robotic structures in which they are housed due to the inherent coupling that will be introduced. In this paper, we integrate a tendon-driven meso-scale grasper, with a closed configuration diameter of 1.69 mm, into a 2 degree-of-freedom (DoF) tendon-driven neurosurgical robot with an outer diameter of less than 2 mm. Furthermore, the kinematics of the grasper is validated and an analysis of the coupling between the grasper and the robotic joints is conducted in order to evaluate the design performance.

Driven by eutrophication and global warming, the occurrence and frequency of harmful cyanobacteria blooms (CyanoHABs) are increasing worldwide, posing a serious threat to human health and biodiversity. Early warning enables precautional control measures of CyanoHABs within water bodies and in water works, and it becomes operational with high frequency in situ data (HFISD) of water quality and forecasting models by machine learning (ML). However, the acceptance of early warning systems by end-users relies significantly on the interpretability and generalizability of underlying models, and their operability.

Cardiovascular disorders remain a leading cause of death worldwide, and the use of contemporary stents is paving the way for a profound shift in the field of cardiology. In the surgical process postimplantation, the graft or stent and host-immune interaction play a significant role in the healing process, thus it is a major challenge in healthcare. To address these challenges, recent advancements have introduced bioactive coatings with specialized modifications in stents to enhance their interaction with surrounding environment.

Background: In-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) remains a public health conundrum with high morbidity and mortality rates. While early identification of high-risk patients could enable preventive interventions and improve survival, evidence on the effectiveness of current prediction methods remains inconclusive. Limited research exists on patients' prearrest pathophysiological status and predictive and prognostic factors of IHCA, highlighting the need for a comprehensive synthesis of predictive methodologies.

Purpose: Breast cancer remains a significant public health challenge globally, as well as in India, where it is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in females. Significant disparities in incidence, mortality, and access to health care across India's sociodemographically diverse population highlight the need for increased awareness, policy reform, and research.
Design: This review consolidates data from national cancer registries, global cancer databases, and institutional findings from a tertiary care center to examine the epidemiology, clinical challenges, and management gaps specific to India.

Objectives: Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 3 (CLN3) is a rare lysosomal storage disorder characterized by progressive neurodegeneration. No disease-modifying treatments are currently available. Miglustat, a substrate reduction therapy, has shown preclinical efficacy in CLN3 models (conference abstract).
