A "pickup" stereoscopic camera with visual-motor aligned control for the da Vinci surgical system: a preliminary studyAbstractPurposeThe current state-of-the-art surgical robotic systems use only a single endoscope to view the surgical field. Research has been conducted to introduce additional cameras to the surgical system, giving rise to new camera angles that cannot be achieved using the endoscope alone. While this additional visualization certainly aids in surgical performance, current systems...

Me and I Are Not Friends, Just Aquaintances: on Thought Insertion and Self-AwarenessAbstractA group of philosophers suggests that a sense of mineness intrinsically contained in the phenomenal structure of all conscious experiences is a necessary condition for a subject to become aware of himself as the subject of his experiences i.e. self-awareness. On this view, consciousness necessarily entails phenomenal self-awareness. This paper argues that cases of delusions of thought insertion undermine this...
Predicting the Self: Lessons from SchizophreniaAbstractNewly developed Bayesian perspectives on schizophrenia hold out the promise that a common underlying mechanism can account for many, if not all, of the positive symptoms of schizophrenia. If this is the case, then understanding how schizophrenic minds go awry could shine light on how healthy minds maintain a sense of self. This article investigates this Bayesian promise by examining whether the approach can indeed account for the difficulties...
Bodily Ownership, Psychological Ownership, and PsychopathologyAbstractDebates about bodily ownership and psychological ownership have typically proceeded independently of each other.

The framework proposes studying ownership by...
Editorial: Schizophrenia and Other Pathologies of Self-Awareness Widening the FocusThe Sense of Agency in OCDAbstractThis paper proposes an integrated account of the etiology of OCD that accommodates both dysfunctional cognitions and sensorimotor features of compulsive action.

MRI in patients with Haglund's deformity and its influence on therapyAbstractIntroductionHeel pain is one of the common reasons why patients consult orthopaedic surgeons in an outpatient setting. The dorsal heel pain is often caused by a Haglund's deformity which is an exostosis of the posterior superior calcaneus. It often leads to Haglund's syndrome with calcaneal bursitis and Achilles tendinosis. This study aims to investigate the roll of MRI in diagnosis of Haglund's syndrome and its influence...
Cancer stem-like properties of hormonal therapy-resistant breast cancer cellsAbstractBackgroundPresently, hormonal therapy targeting estrogen receptors is the most effective treatment available for luminal breast cancer.

Does suffering dominate enjoyment in the animal kingdom? An update to welfare biologyAbstractNg (Biol Philos 10(3):255–285, 1995. https://doi.org/10.1007/bf00852469) models the evolutionary dynamics underlying the existence of suffering and enjoyment and concludes that there is likely to be more suffering than enjoyment in nature. In this paper, we find an error in Ng's model that, when fixed, negates the original conclusion. Instead, the model offers only ambiguity as to whether suffering or enjoyment...

Opioid Toxidrome Following Grapefruit Juice Consumption in the Setting of Methadone MaintenanceBackground: Methadone is a synthetic mu-opioid receptor agonist used in the treatment of chronic pain and opioid dependence. Methadone is metabolized by several cytochrome P450 isoenzymes; primarily CYP3A4, CYP2B6, and CYP2D6 before renal and fecal elimination. Exposure to substances like grapefruit juice, that inhibit these isoenzymes may result in increased blood levels of methadone, and thus may manifest...
