Hybrid Continuum Robot Designs and Architectures for Healthcare Applications
Hybrid continuum robots represent an emerging class of flexible manipulators that blend materials, structures, and actuation concepts from the established fields of soft and continuum robotics. This review introduces an accessible framework to distinguish key hybridization approaches, surveys current designs aimed at complex clinical applications, and ...

Repair of myelomeningocele using autologous amnion graft and local flaps. A report of two cases
Summary: We describe two cases where autologous amnion grafts were used to cover the neurosurgical repair of myelomeningocele (MMC) and the reconstructive flaps used for the skin defects.MMC is a severe fetal defect that evolves during embryonic ...

Shortening Foreheadplasty; Minimization of the Tension of Scalp Flap [PDF]
People with ordinary faces want their faces more attractive, and thus various attempts have been made to reduce the size of the upper and lower face. We therefore have designed the shortening foreheadplasty, in which an excision was made on the part of ...

Deep Contrastive Learning for High‐Throughput Prediction of Drug Resistance Mutations from Sequences
This study presents DeepMutDTA, a deep learning framework aimed at predicting mutation‐induced changes in protein‐drug interactions and prioritizing variants potentially linked to drug resistance. Trained on large‐scale data, it incorporates SimSiam‐MuTF, a label‐aware contrastive fine‐tuning strategy that encourages separation between WT and MT ...
