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 ...

Toward the establishment of a standardized pre-clinical porcine model to predict food effects – Case studies on fenofibrate and paracetamol

open access: yesInternational Journal of Pharmaceutics: X, 2019
A preclinical porcine model that reliably predicts human food effect of fenofibrate was developed. Fenofibrate was administered to pigs as model compound with a positive food effect.

Custom Shape Formation in Continuum Robots Using Compliant Bistable Segments for Medical Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article describes the integration of compliant bi‐stability in continuum robots. This integration leads to two variants of compliant bistable mechanism (CBM) integrated continuum robot segments, extending and locking. Results show that when used together, these CBM‐integrated segments allow the continuum robot to form custom shapes.

An International ASXL3 Natural History Study: Deep Phenotypic Analyses Including Detailed Reports of a Milder Phenotype, Novel Associations, and Clinical Recommendations

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Natural History Studies can help inform clinician and caregiver expectations, form the basis of management guidelines, and provide a comparator for therapeutic intervention. In rare conditions, where collection of prospective longitudinal data is untimely and impractical, quasi‐natural history data—from multiple individuals of different ages ...
