Influence of Facility Size on Perioperative Outcomes in Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy for 14 152 Patients With Esophageal Cancer Based on the Japanese National Clinical Database: A Multicenter Cohort Study

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This multicenter study investigated 14 152 minimally invasive esophagectomies (MIEs) using data from the Japanese National Clinical Database and showed a significantly lower operative mortality rate in high‐volume centers than in low‐volume centers. However, no differences in morbidity rates were found between facility sizes.

Synthesis, Conformal Analysis, and Antibody Binding of Staphylococcus aureus Capsular Polysaccharide Type 5 Oligosaccharides

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A set of conjugation‐ready Staphylococcus aureus serotype 5 oligosaccharides has been generated using a stereoselective [3 + 3n] glycosylation strategy. The structures differ in chain length (up to three repeating units) and O‐ and N‐acetylation pattern.

Risk Evaluation of the NCD Risk Calculator for Open Pancreaticoduodenectomy in Elderly Patients: A Validation Study

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study investigated the utility of the Japanese NCD risk calculator for preoperative assessment in elderly patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), using a validation study design. In the training cohort, two preoperative factors—the predicted incidence of postoperative ADL decline ≥ 44.8% and Clavien–Dindo grade IV or higher complications

Ligand‐Enabled Chemo‐ and Regioselective Ir(I)‐Catalyzed Intermolecular Hydrocarbonation of Allenes: Access to Branched Products with All‐Carbon Quaternary Centers

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Ir(I) catalysts featuring the electron‐deficient bisphosphine ligand dFppe promote the hydrocarbonation of allenes with precise control over the selectivity to yield highly valuable branched products. This reaction is highly effective with C(3)‐dialkylcarboxamidepyrroles as well as with other C─H donors, such as furans and α,β‐unsaturated carboxamides.

Trends in Gender Disparities in Surgical Experience: A National Clinical Database Study

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background We previously reported the gender disparities in surgical procedures between male and female surgeons using National Clinical Database covering more than 95% of all operations performed in Japan. This study aims to examine the changes in gender disparity in the surgical experience of gastrointestinal surgeons in Japan before and ...

Self‐Supervised Learning‐Based Framework for Speckle Reduction of Optical Coherence Tomography Images Using Frame Interpolation

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
In summary, a self‐supervised end‐to‐end framework for OCT image despeckling is proposed, without access to unpaired noisy–clean images or paired noisy–noisy images for training. The despeckling performance has been evaluated on 150 subjects from five retina datasets (121 subjects) and one middle ear dataset (29 subjects). Optical coherence tomography (

Thermometric Based‐Microswimmers with Chemical and Optical Engines

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Temperature sensing at small scales is typically performed using passive luminescent particles. Here, an alternative approach is demonstrated by integrating upconversion thermometry into self‐propelled microswimmers powered by chemical fuels or light. This strategy offers a step toward dynamic thermal sensing at the microscale, relevant to both lab‐on ...
