Long‐Term Nutritional Benefits of Laparoscopic Pancreatoduodenectomy Over Open Surgery

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Minimally invasive laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) significantly improves long‐term nutritional outcomes compared to open pancreaticoduodenectomy (OPD). LPD patients demonstrated better preservation of muscle mass index (PMI) and a lower incidence of postoperative fatty liver.

Association Between Distance to the Transplant Center and Survival Following Living Donor Liver Transplantation

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study investigated the impacts of distance to transplant center on posttransplant survival following LDLT. Patients living further away from the transplant center had worse graft and patient survival rates than those of patients living closer, probably due to less frequency of follow‐up visits, and living > 40 miles from our treatment center was ...

Multi‐Module Micro/Nanorobots for Biomedical and Environmental Remediation Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Multi‐module microrobots (MNRs) have overcome the limitations of single‐module systems by integrating components such as propeller, actuator, manipulator, and imaging modalities. They show promise in biomedical applications, such as targeted drug delivery and tissue repair, as well as in environmental remediation, including pollutant removal.

E‐CAD: Electroactive Polymer‐Based Cardiac Assist Device with Low Power Consumption

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Conventional cardiac assist devices often require high power, involve direct blood contact, and risk driveline infections. This work presents a soft electroactive polymer‐based system that compresses the heart externally while consuming <0.3 W. With no blood contact, a 0.3 mm driveline, and a compact design, E‐CAD demonstrates enhanced output and ...
