Barbed Sutures Are Associated With a Lower Incidence of Incisional Hernia Compared With Continuous Non‐Barbed Monofilament Sutures After Minimally Invasive Gastroenterological Surgery

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Incisional hernia remains a common complication after minimally invasive gastroenterological surgery despite small extraction incisions. In this propensity score‐weighted analysis, barbed sutures significantly reduced the incidence of incisional hernia compared with conventional slowly absorbable monofilament sutures without increasing postoperative ...

The Japanese Hernia Society (JHS) Guidelines for Adult Groin Hernia Management 2024

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Groin hernia is a common surgical condition. The Japanese Hernia Society (JHS) Guidelines for Groin Hernia Management 2024 were developed to reflect both international evidence and the realities of clinical practice in Japan. This article is an authorized English translation of a summary of the adult section of the JHS Guidelines for Groin ...

Local Recurrence and Oncological Outcomes After Transanal Total Mesorectal Excision With Intersphincteric Resection for Lower Rectal Cancer: A Nationwide Multicenter Cohort Study (Ta‐Ta‐Mi Study)

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
The 3‐year local recurrence (LR), recurrence‐free survival, and overall survival rates were 7.3%, 79.5%, and 98.1%, respectively. Multivariable analysis identified circumferential resection margin (CRM)/radial margin (RM) positivity as an independent risk factor for LR.

Sports Activity Recognition Using Textile‐Based Sensor Fusion and Complex‐Valued Residual Convolutional Neural Networks

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Motion artifacts in electrocardiographic signals, conventionally dismissed as noise, are shown to encode discriminative activity information. A smart t‐shirt fusing textile strain sensors with textile ECG electrodes, processed through a complex‐valued residual network, recognizes 12 sport activities.

Artificial Intelligence for Benign Esophageal Stricture Dilation: An Evidence‐Transferability Framework and Safety‐First Roadmap

AI &Innovation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Endoscopic dilation is first‐line therapy for symptomatic benign esophageal strictures but remains operator‐dependent. Artificial intelligence (AI) could support assessment, risk stratification, and documentation; however, evidence from adjacent tasks is often mistaken for procedure‐specific validation.

Uncovering renewable energy policy impact channels on land values, the local farm structure, and farmland heterogeneity

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Germany's Renewable Energy Sources Act (REA), enacted in 2000 and subsequently amended, subsidized national renewable energy production with fixed feed‐in tariffs for renewable energy sources (RE) from wind, solar, and biogas. Empirical studies suggest that the policy was creating windfall effects for landowners and attribute farmland use ...

Causal analysis of trade loss from pathogens: A global study of foot and mouth disease impacts on meat exports

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Our general interest is in global trade loss from livestock pathogens, specifically exports. We adopt a causal inference approach that considers animal disease outbreaks over time as non‐staggered binary treatments with the potential for switching in (infection) and out of treatment (recovery) within the sample period. The outcome evolution of

Accounting for animal health in efficiency analysis: An application to Swedish dairy farms

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Poor animal health is a central concern in modern livestock production. Despite the necessity to incorporate animal health in efficiency analysis, the theoretical and empirical developments are limited on this subject. This article appropriately characterizes the axiomatic properties of animal health within a production framework.

Redistributive land reforms, agricultural productivity, and structural change: New cross‐national evidence

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Large‐scale land reforms constitute a substantial redistribution of wealth and reallocation of agricultural land, which is a major form of asset and production input in developing countries. While land redistribution (from the rich to the poor) remains a highly controversial issue, extensive evidence on its effect is limited.
