Regional Disparities in Case Volumes and Surgeon Distribution in Gastroenterological Surgery

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Regional disparities in surgical resources may influence the delivery and sustainability of gastroenterological surgery, particularly in countries experiencing rapid population aging and depopulation. Methods This nationwide cross‐sectional study used data from the Japanese National Clinical Database to examine temporal trends (2013–

Can we predict surgical outcomes: A systematic review and critical appraisal of clinical prediction models in epilepsy surgery

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Prediction models are increasingly being sought in epilepsy surgery to predict postoperative outcomes and support clinical decision‐making. Studies summarizing the evidence in this area can provide insight into the type of surgical prediction models, their methodology, and their performance and inform areas for future research.

Moment‐curvature behavior of continuous reinforced concrete slab strips—Experimental determination and modeling

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract With the market introduction of new reinforcing materials, such as corrosion‐resistant steel, the effect of their stress–strain relationship on the ductility of reinforced concrete structures needs to be evaluated. Their moment‐curvature behavior significantly influences bending moment redistributions, rotation capacity, and deformation at ...

No added cost: Emotion recognition in co‐occurring ADHD and ASD

British Journal of Clinical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Facial emotion recognition (FER) is fundamental for social interaction, yet this ability is often impaired in attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or autism spectrum disorder (ASD). While research has documented these difficulties, two key questions remain: Are these deficits specific to recognising emotions or do they ...
