Soft Robotic Excretory Care Simulator for Nursing Education: Functional and Perceptual Biomimetics Approach

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A soft robotic simulator is developed to replicate the digital removal of feces (DRF), a sensitive yet essential nursing procedure. Integrating soft actuators, sensors, and a realistic rectal model, the simulator balances functional fidelity with perceptual realism. Engineering evaluations and nurse feedback confirm its potential to enhance training in

Pelvic floor muscle trauma [PDF]

Expert Review of Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2010
The diagnostic assessment of pelvic floor function and anatomy is moving from the fringes to the mainstream of obstetrics and gynecology. This is largely due to the realization that pelvic floor trauma in labor is common, generally overlooked, and is a major factor in the causation of pelvic organ prolapse.

Lactation is Associated with Accelerated Postpartum Pelvic Floor Muscle Recovery in a Pregnant Simulated Birth Injury Model

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Healthy pelvic floor muscles (PFMs) are essential for proper pelvic floor function. The biggest risk factor for PFM dysfunction is injury sustained during vaginal childbirth, yet the factors that facilitate or impair PFM recovery from birth injury remain unknown.

Trends, Demographic Characteristics and Seasonal Patterns of Rectal Prolapse Surgery in Japan: A Nationwide Claims‐Based Analysis From 2014 to 2023

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study analyzed nationwide trends, demographic characteristics, and seasonal patterns of rectal prolapse surgery in Japan using healthcare claims data. From 2014 to 2023, age‐adjusted overall and conventional surgeries declined significantly, whereas laparoscopic surgeries increased significantly.

The coelurosaur theropods of the Romualdo formation, early Cretaceous (Aptian) of Brazil: Santanaraptor placidus meets Mirischia asymmetrica

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The upper carbonate concretion levels of the Romualdo Formation (Aptian, Brazil) have yielded several theropod dinosaur remains, including spinosaurids and the coelurosaurs Santanaraptor placidus and Mirischia asymmetrica, the phylogenetic affinities of which are controversial.

Early evolution of the gular musculature and its innervation in ray‐finned fishes

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Gular muscles are an important but often overlooked component of cranial anatomy in bony fishes. They are located on the ventral surface of the head and are derived from the mandibular and hyoid arches. We present a comprehensive review of the gular musculature and its innervation across early diverging actinopterygian lineages. By integrating
