Impact of Prophylactic Cefepime on Surgical Site Infection and Severe Morbidity in Patients Who Underwent Pancreaticoduodenectomy With Preoperative Biliary Drainage

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Although prophylactic broad‐spectrum antibiotics can reduce postoperative complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), the optimal regimen remains uncertain. This study evaluated the impact of prophylactic cefepime (CFPM) on surgical site infection (SSI) and severe morbidity after PD with preoperative biliary drainage.

Effect of Broad‐Spectrum Antibiotic Prophylaxis on Post‐Pancreatoduodenectomy Infectious Complications: Nationwide Inpatient Database Study in Japan

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Using a nationwide Japanese inpatient database, we evaluated whether broad‐spectrum antibiotic prophylaxis improves postoperative outcomes after pancreatoduodenectomy compared with narrow‐spectrum antibiotics. In propensity score–weighted analyses of 45 099 patients, broad‐spectrum prophylaxis was associated with significantly lower rates of intra ...

Risks and Benefits of Feeding Enterostomy Creation During Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy: A Propensity‐Weighted Analysis Using the Japanese National Clinical Database

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Feeding enterostomy during MIE was evaluated in 19 054 patients from the Japanese NCD using propensity weighting. Enterostomy was associated with higher reoperation and respiratory complications, but lower delayed gastric emptying and deep vein thrombosis, with no significant difference in overall bowel obstruction.

Potential Survival Benefit of Neoadjuvant Docetaxel, Cisplatin and 5‐Fluorouracil Therapy in Patients With Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma With Multiple Lymph Node Metastases: A Single‐Institute Propensity Score Analysis

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Although neoadjuvant chemotherapy with fluorouracil, cisplatin, and docetaxel (NAC‐DCF) is the current standard neoadjuvant regimen for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, its substantial toxicity underscores the need to identify patients who derive the greatest benefit.

Population balance modeling and digital design of degree of agglomeration in industrial crystallization

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This study presents a coupled population balance model (PBM) for describing the degree‐of‐agglomeration (DoA) in crystallization by independently tracking total particle and agglomerate number densities. Applied to an industrial active pharmaceutical ingredient, the model outperformed bridge‐counting methods and accurately captured DoA trends ...

Application of Neural Networks for Advanced Ir Spectroscopy Characterization of Ceria Catalysts Surfaces

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
A novel convolutional neural network architecture enables rapid, unsupervised analysis of IR spectroscopic data from DRIFTS and IRRAS. By combining synthetic data generation with parallel convolutional layers and advanced regularization, the model accurately resolves spectral features of adsorbed CO, offering real‐time insights into ceria surface ...

CrossMatAgent: AI‐Assisted Design of Manufacturable Metamaterial Patterns via Multi‐Agent Generative Framework

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
CrossMatAgent is a multi‐agent framework that combines large language models and diffusion‐based generative AI to automate metamaterial design. By coordinating task‐specific agents—such as describer, architect, and builder—it transforms user‐provided image prompts into high‐fidelity, printable lattice patterns.
