Les robots médicaux sont conçus pour interagir avec des patients, des professionnels de la santé ou des équipements médicaux. Ils servent notamment au bloc opératoire à assister les chirurgiens (par ex. robots d'assistance chirurgicale en neurochirurgie ou en orthopédie). Ils peuvent servir en dehors du bloc opératoire pour la rééducation des patients (par ex. exosquelettes), pour l'aide au diagnostic afin de disposer d'outils rapides et efficaces de diagnostic pour éviter tout retard ou erreur source potentielle de dommages. Ils peuvent encore être utilisés dans la prestation des soins de santé en général (par ex. robots de nettoyage, robots livreurs de médicaments, robots préparateurs de piluliers, etc.). Ils peuvent permettre la mise à profit de données récoltées le cas échéant pour la maintenance du dispositif ou pour la recherche. 1, record 1, French, - robot%20m%C3%A9dical

Maternally inherited diabetes and deafness(MIDD) is an autosomal dominant inherited syndrome caused by the mitochondrial DNA(mDNA) nucleotide mutation A3243G. It affects various organs including the eye with external ophthalmoparesis, ptosis, and bilateral macular pattern dystrophy. The prevalence of retinal involvement in MIDD is high, with 50% to 85% of patients exhibiting some macular changes.... MIDD progresses slowly over several years and has a good visual prognosis when confined to the perifoveal region. However, atrophic areas can progress toward the fovea with central vision loss mimicking geographic age-related macular degeneration(AMD). 5, record 4, English, - maternally%20inherited%20diabetes%20and%20deafness

The Biotechnology Mammalian Tissue Culture facility has been conceived for research on cell and tissue culture. It will be essential in furthering our understanding of the influence of the cell microenvironment on growth and differentiation. The core of the system will provide robust control of concentration gradients and of mechanical forces thanks to the integration of fluid distribution tools, microsensors, and microactuators. The emphasis is put on the mimicking of organotypical conditions and on the acquisition of data to be used for guided tissue development and differentiation in both space and terrestrial conditions. In addition to this core cultivation subunit, a powerful diagnostics subunit allows for dedicated tools adapted to the tissue undergoing testing. The whole concept is modular in order to support upgrading and adaptation to the requirements of the experimental programme. 1, record 17, English, - biotechnology%20mammalian%20tissue%20culture%20facility
