Prognostic Value of Serum Insulin‐Like Growth Factor‐1 in Patients With Anal Fistula Treated by Incision‐Thread‐Drawing Surgery

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
IGF‐1 levels above 174.9 ng/mL were associated with better wound healing and lower postoperative inflammation. Higher IGF‐1 levels correlated with improved anal function at 7 and 14 days post‐surgery. ABSTRACT Background Anal fistula is a chronic condition characterized by an abnormal tract between the anal canal and perianal skin, often leading to ...

Conditional Survival for Pancreas Graft and Its Associated Factors After Pancreas Transplantation

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study investigates conditional survival (CS) for pancreas grafts in recipients of pancreas transplantation (PTx) in Japan, using data from 526 cases. Findings reveal that CS increases over time post‐transplant, offering a more optimistic long‐term prognosis than traditional actuarial survival. While donor sex and PTx procedure type influence early

Gastric Distension Index: A Novel Radiographic Marker Associated With Postoperative Gastric Stasis After Gastrectomy

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study introduces the Hiki Index (HI), a novel radiographic metric based on upright abdominal X‐rays, to objectively assess postoperative gastric dilatation after gastrectomy. The HI demonstrated strong predictive value for gastrointestinal symptoms and the need for therapeutic intervention, offering a practical tool for early detection and ...

Improving Long‐Term Glucose Prediction Accuracy with Uncertainty‐Estimated ProbSparse‐Transformer

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Wearable devices collect blood glucose and other physiological data, which serve as inputs to the prediction model. After data embedding, a structure utilizing ProbSparse self‐attention and a one‐step generative head within a Transformer‐based model is introduced, which is concurrently designed for deployment on edge devices, enabling real‐time ...
