Accuracy and Bias of Pulse Oximetry in the Intensive Care Unit: A Prospective Observational Study
ABSTRACT Background Non‐invasive oximetry is crucial for the easy and continuous monitoring of blood oxygenation, from routine assessments to critical care in intensive care units (ICU). Studies indicate that pulse oximeter readings may be biased due to the high light absorption of melanin.

ABSTRACT Self‐expandable metallic and plastic stents have been used for biliary tract injuries, but they are not entirely adequate as treatments. This study investigated the potential of our novel self‐expandable bioabsorbable covered stent (SEBCS) to treat bile duct injuries. We developed a novel SEBCS by covering a self‐expandable bioabsorbable stent

Disentangled Assembly Graphs Reveal Hidden Eukaryotic Diversity in eDNA Metagenomic Data
ABSTRACT Genome assembly graphs contain valuable yet frequently overlooked information that can enhance assembly completeness by revealing contig connectivity. Here, we demonstrate how leveraging these information‐rich structures enables the discovery of hidden microeukaryotic diversity in environmental DNA shotgun metagenomic datasets.
