Development of an Inchworm‐Like Dual‐Balloon‐Assisted Colonoscopic Robot Based on a Two‐Segment Extensible Continuum Section

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work presents an inchworm‐like dual‐balloon‐assisted colonoscopic robot (IDCR) based on a rod‐driven two‐segment continuum section. The IDCR enables the active straightening of the sigmoid colon through an inchworm‐like locomotion strategy, thereby avoiding loop formation.

Bone stability after regenerative peri‐implantitis treatment: A 10‐year follow‐up case study

Clinical Advances in Periodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Peri‐implantitis poses a significant challenge to implant longevity, leading to progressive bone loss and potential implant failure. While reconstructive surgery has been proven effective in regenerating peri‐implant tissues, the long‐term stability of the regenerated tissues and the impact of supportive peri‐implant care (SPIC) on ...

Clarifying Public Policy for Stronger Public Administration in Development

Public Administration and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Public policy is ubiquitous, yet its meaning is often unclear. This ambiguity is not just conceptual. Because policy work is a large part of what public administrations do, how we define policy shapes how we structure and organize our administrative mechanisms.
