Prognostic Value of Serum Insulin‐Like Growth Factor‐1 in Patients With Anal Fistula Treated by Incision‐Thread‐Drawing Surgery

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
IGF‐1 levels above 174.9 ng/mL were associated with better wound healing and lower postoperative inflammation. Higher IGF‐1 levels correlated with improved anal function at 7 and 14 days post‐surgery. ABSTRACT Background Anal fistula is a chronic condition characterized by an abnormal tract between the anal canal and perianal skin, often leading to ...

Zero-Parity Stabbing Information [PDF]

open access: yesProc. Japan Conf. Discrete Comput. Geom. '98, Dec. 1998, 93--97, 1999
Everett et al. introduced several varieties of stabbing information for the lines determined by pairs of vertices of a simple polygon P, and established their relationships to vertex visibility and other combinatorial data. In the same spirit, we define the ``zero-parity (ZP) stabbing information'' to be a natural weakening of their ``weak stabbing ...

A Soft Wearable Robot with an Adjustable Twisted String Actuator and a Two‐Stage Transmission Mechanism for Manual Handling Tasks

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article proposes a soft wearable robot (WeaRo) to assist workers while executing manual handling tasks. With its innovative design, the WeaRo effectively assists multiple body parts during manual handling tasks while using a single motor. Furthermore, the components of the WeaRo are assembled onto a fabric‐based suit, ensuring high performance and
