Jalen Hurts is in a very serious injury situation with the Philadelphia Eagles, who placed him on the injured reserve as the quarterback deals with a blood clot. Hurts being placed on the IR means he has to miss a minimum of four games, but he is considering out indefinitely as the Eagles want to make sure his blood clot dissipates.

The rise of Large Language Models (LLMs) has impacted research in robotics and automation. While progress has been made in integrating LLMs into general robotics tasks, a noticeable void persists in their adoption in more specific domains such as surgery, where critical factors such as reasoning, explainability, and safety are paramount. Achieving autonomy in robotic surgery, which entails the ability to reason and adapt to changes in the environment, remains a significant challenge. In this work, we propose a multi-modal LLM integration in robot-assisted surgery for autonomous blood suction. The reasoning and prioritization are delegated to the higher-level task-planning LLM, and the motion planning and execution are handled by the lower-level deep reinforcement learning model, creating a distributed agency between the two components. As surgical operations are highly dynamic and may encounter unforeseen circumstances, blood clots and active bleeding were introduced to influence decision-making. Results showed that using a multi-modal LLM as a higher-level reasoning unit can account for these surgical complexities to achieve a level of reasoning previously unattainable in robot-assisted surgeries. These findings demonstrate the potential of multi-modal LLMs to significantly enhance contextual understanding and decision-making in robotic-assisted surgeries, marking a step toward autonomous surgical systems.

An invention by scientists in the Netherlands aims to break up blood clots without surgery or drugs. Blood clots are a serious health problem that can cause strokes, heart attacks and even death. Some blood clots can be removed by doctors using a flexible tool that goes inside the affected vein or artery, but others are too hard to reach. What if there was a way to break up those clots without surgery or drugs? CLICK TO GET KURT'S FREE CYBERGUY NEWSLETTER WITH SECURITY ALERTS, QUICK VIDEO TIPS, TECH REVIEWS, AND EASY HOW-TO'S TO MAKE YOU SMARTER Scientists have created tiny robots that can swim through your blood vessels and drill into the clots.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is already helping doctors and medical professionals in a variety of ways. AI can help diagnose diseases, identify genetic risk factors, and even predict how patients will respond to certain drugs. But could AI be used to improve radiology? In the early days of radiography, radiology was a part of medicine. Doctors used x-rays to diagnose and treat a large variety of illnesses, from arthritis to cancer.

Don't worry, yes, there are even more Musk machinations, but first let's broach something a little different -- and possibly lifesaving. A team of MIT engineers is developing a telerobotic system for neurosurgeons. It unveiled a robotic arm that doctors can control remotely using a modified joystick to treat stroke patients. The arm has a magnet attached to its wrist, and surgeons can adjust its orientation to guide a magnetic wire through the patient's arteries and vessels to remove blood clots in the brain. Like in-person procedures, surgeons will have to rely on live imaging to get to the blood clot, but the machine means they don't have to be physically with the patient.

Remote robotic-assisted surgery is far from new, with various educational and research institutions developing machines doctors can control from other locations over the years. There hasn't been a lot of movement on that front when it comes to endovascular treatments for stroke patients, which is why a team of MIT engineers has been developing a telerobotic system surgeons can use over the past few years. The team, which has published its paper in Science Robotics, has now presented a robotic arm that doctors can control remotely using a modified joystick to treat stroke patients. That arm has a magnet attached to its wrist, and surgeons can adjust its orientation to guide a magnetic wire through the patient's arteries and vessels in order to remove blood clots in their brain. Similar to in-person procedures, surgeons will have to rely on live imaging to get to the blood clot, except the machine will allow them to treat patients not physically in the room with them.

Blood clots might be soon be cleared by using microscopic robots with screw-like propellers that swim through blood vessels bearing blockage-busting drugs. Developed by engineers from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, the microrobot design was inspired by the tails of bacteria like E. coli. The tiny robot and its propeller are driven by the application of an external magnetic field -- and it is capable of moving with and against the direction of the blood flow. Tests in a fake vein filled with pig's blood showed the robot makes its clot-dissolving'tissue plasminogen activator' cargo five times more effective than the drug alone. The robot's rotor, the team said, may help to circulate the drug around the blockage site -- better breaking up the clots and reducing the risk of large fragments.
