Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.This study investigated the utility of the Japanese NCD risk calculator for preoperative assessment in elderly patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), using a validation study design. In the training cohort, two preoperative factors—the predicted incidence of postoperative ADL decline ≥ 44.8% and Clavien–Dindo grade IV or higher complications

Electropneumatic Oscillators Using Nonlinear Inflatables
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.In animals, self‐oscillations are essential to coordinate locomotion and other bodily functions. By combining hysteretic membranes with a resistive strain sensor, an electropneumatic self‐oscillator with an oscillation frequency that directly depends upon geometric parameters in the fluidic domain is introduced.

Transformer Models for Acute Brain Dysfunction Prediction [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Acute brain dysfunctions (ABD), which include coma and delirium, are prevalent in the ICU, especially among older patients. The current approach in manual assessment of ABD by care providers may be sporadic and subjective. Hence, there exists a need for a data-driven robust system automating the assessment and prediction of ABD.
