ABSTRACT Background The choice of anastomotic technique in minimally invasive oesophagectomy (MIO) may influence postoperative morbidity and long‐term outcomes. The primary aim of our study is to determine whether circular (CS) or linear‐stapled (LS) anastomosis is associated with anastomotic complications following MIO.

ABSTRACT Background Many deaths after colorectal resection may be preventable, but administrative datasets provide limited insights into the clinical processes leading to mortality. We used the Australian and New Zealand Audit of Surgical Mortality (ANZASM) to quantify potentially preventable deaths after colorectal surgery and describe modifiable ...

Abstract This pilot study evaluated a personalized sleep intervention incorporating motivational interviewing techniques to address sleep barriers, along with tailored sleep hygiene and extension for chronic short sleepers. Eleven university students completed a 14‐day sequential intervention (baseline, sleep hygiene and a combined phase adding 90‐min ...

Encoding Occupancy in Memory Location for Efficient and Compact High‐Resolution Voxel Structures
We encode information about geometric structure into the pointers of a sparse voxel directed acyclic graph (SVDAG). Each pointer carries information about the structure of the node it points to. Our encoding improves ray tracing performance and reduces model size in memory.

Variable‐Rate Texture Compression: Real‐Time Rendering with JPEG
Abstract Although variable‐rate compressed image formats such as JPEG are widely used to efficiently encode images, they have not found their way into real‐time rendering due to special requirements such as random access to individual texels. In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of variable‐rate texture compression on modern GPUs using the ...

Mesh Processing Non‐Meshes via Neural Displacement Fields
Abstract Mesh processing pipelines are mature, but adapting them to newer non‐mesh surface representations—which enable fast rendering with compact file size—requires costly meshing or transmitting bulky meshes, negating their core benefits for streaming applications.
