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.

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.

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

We conducted a cross‐organ review of surgical outcomes in older cancer patients based on literature cited in Japanese clinical guidelines. This study summarizes postoperative complication rates and survival outcomes across five major cancer types. The findings aim to support the development of geriatric oncology surgical guidelines tailored to Japan's ...

Teleoperated Magnetic Endoscopy: A Case Study and Perspective
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
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.

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.

Cost‐Effectiveness of Ferritin Screening Thresholds for Iron Deficiency in Reproductive‐Age Women
ABSTRACT Iron deficiency (ID) is a top five leading cause of disability‐adjusted life‐years in women of reproductive age around the world. Despite its enormous health burden, no screening guidelines exist for the detection and treatment of ID in women of reproductive age.

ABSTRACT How to select the appropriate intensity of chemotherapy in older adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains an unanswered question. In a phase II trial of older adults ≥ 60 years with AML (n = 73), we used geriatric assessment (measures of comorbidity burden, physical and cognitive function) to determine fitness for intensive ...

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