Relationship Between Kyphosis and Postoperative Gastroesophageal Reflux After Proximal Gastrectomy

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study examined the relationship between kyphosis and postoperative gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) after proximal gastrectomy using a kyphosis definition that is familiar to surgeons for preoperative assessment. Multivariate analysis revealed that kyphosis is an independent risk factor for GERD after proximal gastrectomy.

Hierarchical Superposition Framework Reveals the Complex Effects of Natural Medicine Formulas

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A novel hierarchical superposition pharmacological model incorporates the principle of hierarchical structures from physics to simulate the spatiotemporal dynamics of drug combinations, to elucidate the universal law underlying drug combination effects. By modeling cross‐level causal transmission and attenuation, it advances beyond traditional additive

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

Advanced 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.
