Intramural Hematoma and Retroperitoneal Hematoma Following a Routine Colonoscopy: An Uncommon Complication of a Common Procedure

Case Reports in Gastroenterology, 2022
Colonoscopy is used worldwide for screening colon cancer. Routine colonoscopy is considered a safe procedure with relatively fewer adverse events. We present a case of intracolonic and retroperitoneal hematoma following a routine colonoscopy.

Computational Analysis of a GST‐Based Long‐Wave Infrared Microring Resonator on a ZnSe Platform as a Photonic Sensor

Advanced Photonics Research, EarlyView.
A Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST)‐based microring resonator is designed and simulated on a ZnSe‐platform that operates in the long‐wave infrared (LWIR) wavelength of 8 μm. The structure demonstrates strong power confinement and high Q‐factor. GST resonator is used for gas and biosensing applications.

From Rigid to Soft Robotic Approaches for Neuroendoscopy

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Robotic assistance has had minimal impact on deep intraventricular surgeries, where small‐scale, precision, and reduced invasiveness can contribute to improved patient outcomes. Emerging technologies in rigid, soft, and hybrid robotics are reviewed to identify the most promising mechanisms for deep brain navigation in addition to an attempt to identify
