Advanced Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Healthy pelvic floor muscles (PFMs) are essential for proper pelvic floor function. The biggest risk factor for PFM dysfunction is injury sustained during vaginal childbirth, yet the factors that facilitate or impair PFM recovery from birth injury remain unknown.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Epsilon‐near‐zero (ENZ) silicon carbide enables a selective far‐infrared emitter spectrally aligned with the human skin window around 10 µm for wavelength‐matched thermal therapy. In 25 within‐subject trials (50 hands) monitored by laser speckle contrast imaging, SiC increases blood perfusion by 30.2% versus a broadband graphite emitter while ...

Radiologic intervention due to delayed gastric emptying after pylorus preserving gastrectomy for gastric cancer does not affect pyloric function [PDF]
Korean Journal of Clinical Oncology, 2020 Purpose The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether radiologic intervention in the pylorus decreases its function for delayed gastric emptying (DGE) patients after pylorus preserving gastrectomy (PPG) for gastric cancers and to determine the optimal

Stochastic Entanglement of Deterministic Origami Tentacles For Robust Robotic Grasping
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study introduces an origami tentacle gripper to robustly grasp objects‐in air, underwater, and even in orbital space‐by exploiting a synergy between local, deterministic deformation programming and global, stochastic entanglements. A single origami tentacle can be designed to coil with a simple tendon pull.

Pylorus‐Preserving Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer: Current Evidence and Future Directions
Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.This review aims to outline the current evidence and future directions of PPG, focusing on the feasibility of extending its application beyond its traditional indications. ABSTRACT Pylorus‐preserving gastrectomy (PPG) is a function‐preserving surgery for clinically T1N0M0 (cT1N0M0) early gastric cancer (EGC) located in the middle third of the stomach ...
