Decoupling Dynamics and Crosslink Stability in Supramolecular Hydrogels Using Associative Exchange

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
How does reorganization impact the stability of supramolecular hydrogels? In contrast to dissociative crosslink exchange, implementing associative exchange in macroscale DNA hydrogels enables decoupling of reorganization dynamics from thermal and mechanical stability.

Association Between Liver Function Grade and Post‐Hepatectomy Liver Failure in Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Latent Class Analysis

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
We retrospectively analyzed clinical data from patients who underwent hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) using LCA‐based grading system. These findings provide a new risk stratification framework for the design of precision surgery to treat patients with HCC.

Which Method Best Predicts Postoperative Complications: Deep Learning, Machine Learning, or Conventional Logistic Regression?

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Deep learning has shown promise in predicting postoperative complications, particularly when using image or time‐series data. However, on tabular clinical data such as the NCD, it often underperforms compared to conventional machine learning. Integrating multimodal data may enhance predictive accuracy and interpretability in surgical care.

Fast Arc-Annotated Subsequence Matching in Linear Space [PDF]

, 2010
An arc-annotated string is a string of characters, called bases, augmented with a set of pairs, called arcs, each connecting two bases. Given arc-annotated strings $P$ and $Q$ the arc-preserving subsequence problem is to determine if $P$ can be obtained ...
