Bowel preparation and surgical site infections in laparoscopic and robot‐assisted right‐sided colon cancer surgery with intracorporeal anastomosis: A retrospective study

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This retrospective study investigated risk factors for surgical site infections (SSIs) in right‐sided colon cancer surgeries using intracorporeal anastomosis (IA). The results demonstrated that preoperative oral antibiotics (OA) significantly reduced SSI rates, with OA identified as an independent protective factor, suggesting its beneficial role in ...

Regional and patient characteristic disparities in the outcomes of minimally invasive surgery for colorectal cancer in Japan

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study aimed to clarify whether differences in minimally invasive surgery outcomes are associated with regional and patient characteristics. This study found regional and patient characteristic disparities in minimally invasive surgical outcomes; national policies should be implemented to address these inequities.

International Comparison of Geriatric‐Associated Variables in Major Gastroenterological Surgery Between National Clinical Database and American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Geriatric surgical risk factors and outcomes were compared between the US and Japanese databases. Geriatric‐associated preoperative variables and outcomes similarly increased with age. Mobility and functional domains differed between the two databases. ABSTRACT Backgrounds Incidence of malignant disease in older patients has been increasing.

Risk Evaluation of the NCD Risk Calculator for Open Pancreaticoduodenectomy in Elderly Patients: A Validation Study

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study investigated the utility of the Japanese NCD risk calculator for preoperative assessment in elderly patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), using a validation study design. In the training cohort, two preoperative factors—the predicted incidence of postoperative ADL decline ≥ 44.8% and Clavien–Dindo grade IV or higher complications

Teleoperated Magnetic Endoscopy: A Case Study and Perspective

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This perspective highlights the recent research efforts in robotic magnetic platforms for telesurgery and their translation to clinical settings for endoscopic procedures. To demonstrate this approach, this work also introduces an in vivo gastroscopy performed in a porcine model, during which an operator in Zurich, Switzerland, successfully controls a ...

Haptic In‐Sensor Computing Device Based on CNT/PDMS Nanocomposite Physical Reservoir

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
Using a porous carbon nanotube‐polydimethylsiloxane nanocomposite, a sensor array integrated with a physical reservoir computing paradigm capable of in‐sensor computing is demonstrated. The device is able to classify between nine objects with an accuracy above 80%, opening the possibility for low‐power sensing/computing for future robotics.

Establishment patterns of saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) at the microsite scale help explain saguaro regeneration and distributions in heterogenous, regional habitats

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Establishment of long‐lived perennial plants is a pivotal event that often leads to reproductive maturity. The population dynamics of the giant saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) have been investigated over large spatial areas, but establishment patterns have not been studied at the microsite (1 m) scale.

Gut Microbiome Pilot Study of Patients With CHARGE Syndrome and Sibling Controls

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Difficulties with feeding and digestion are common in individuals with CHARGE syndrome. Animal models with CHD7 gene variants demonstrate abnormal gut innovation and dysmotility. Our pilot study evaluated whether individuals with CHARGE syndrome have differences in their gut microbiome compared to unaffected siblings.

“That grey area where no one can help”: The experience of younger people avoiding or leaving residential aged care who are not NDIS participants

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
Abstract Living in residential aged care (RAC) can have deleterious effects on the health, well‐being and social participation of younger people (<65 years of age). This research examined the barriers and enablers to leaving or avoiding RAC for Australian younger people who are not National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) participants. It reports on

Access to Transition Planning and Support for Young People Who Self‐Place When in Out‐Of‐Home Care: The Perspectives of Young People and Practitioners

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper explores the experiences of young people in Queensland, Australia, under child protection orders who leave approved out‐of‐home care placements (e.g., foster; residential care) to stay in unapproved locations (e.g., sleeping on the streets; staying with friends, family/kin, or strangers).
