Supplementary sources (manual / web)
PubMed under-indexes pure-engineering and industry material. Each weekly run also scans:
- arXiv / IEEE Xplore / Int J CARS — surgical robotics, vision-guided navigation, foundation models for endoscopy
- FDA 510(k)/De Novo database & manufacturer press — new sinus/skull base device clearances
- Google Scholar — preprints, conference proceedings, and cross-disciplinary work
- Society guidance — ARS, EAACI/EPOS, AAO-HNS
