Survival Results by the Prospectively Determined Clinical Staging for Locally Advanced Gastric Cancer: A Follow‐Up Study of JCOG1302A

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Prospectively determined clinical T and N categories clearly stratified long‐term survival in locally advanced gastric cancer. Patients with cT3N+, cT4aN0, cT4aN+, and cT4b disease showed unfavorable prognosis despite standard treatment. These findings may help optimize patient selection for perioperative treatment strategies.

An Active Knee–Ankle–Foot Orthosis With Torque‐Dense, Low‐Impedance Knee Actuation

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article presents the simulation, design, and clinical validation of a robotic active KAFO with torque‐sensitive actuation. By passively and continuously adapting the transmission ratio in response to the knee torque, the torque‐sensitive actuator overcomes the tradeoff between torque, weight, and impedance observed in conventional robot actuators,
