Four of these were studies of population-wide period prevalence. Of these, three studied gastrostomy tube insertions (one solely PEG insertions), two report insertion rates across a population, but ...

The data set we used is demonstrations (action at each time step and cooresponding images captued by the same third person view camera) of this robot arm performing peg insertion (these demonstrations ...

While waiting for PEG tube insertion, within 7 days, FBC showed a significant drop in Hb of 23 g/L ( from 125 to 102 g/L), Platelet dropped to 150×x10^9/L from 208 × 10^9/L, leucopenica ( 2.4 × 10^9/L ...
