Visceral Adipose Tissue as an Independent Predictor of Severe Post‐ERCP Pancreatitis: A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study

Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Acute pancreatitis after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), known as post‐ERCP pancreatitis (PEP), is a major adverse event. Although risk factors for PEP incidence have been widely studied, factors associated with severe PEP remain unclear.

From nature to nanoscale: advances, challenges, and preclinical translation of nanofiber drug delivery systems containing plant‐derived active ingredients

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Since the early 1960s, nanotechnology has been a critical area of science, allowing for the development of sophisticated nanomaterials. Nanofibers, one of the most widely used nanotechnological drug delivery systems, have emerged as a highly versatile platform within modern pharmaceutical sciences.

Anchored but not safe: Rare but serious mechanical complications from peritoneal dialysis catheter suture fixation

UroPrecision, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter fixation techniques are frequently employed to minimize migration and optimize dialysate flow. While mechanical complications of PD catheters are well recognized, adverse events directly attributable to anchoring sutures are rarely described. We report two patients with end‐stage renal failure (ESRF)

Transforming Surgical Training: The Evolution of the COSECSA eLogbook Through a Theory of Change Framework

World Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
Surgical training logbooks are vital for tracking trainee experience and training quality. As the College of Surgeons of East, Central and Southern Africa (COSECSA) expanded across 24 countries, its paper‐based system outgrew the capacity of paper logbooks.

DYNAMICS OF AN UMBILICAL CABLE FOR UNDERGROUND BORE-WELL APPLICATIONS

International Journal of Electronics Signals and Systems, 2012
A general model for an umbilical cable for underground bore-well applications is considered. The response of one-degree-of-freedom, nonlinear system under external excitation forces and the effect of the parameters 􀟱2, β and f on the excited system are investigated.

Views from the Inside: Reflections on the Modern Hospital

The Political Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract There's a constant refrain in the press, on social media and from populist politicians that the NHS is dying on its feet. How accurate is this picture? This article takes a behind‐the‐scenes look at daily life in a modern, big city hospital. The Queen Elizabeth is now the biggest workplace in Birmingham.

On-Bottom Stability of Umbilicals and Power Cables for Offshore Wind Applications [PDF]

Energies, 2019
With the increase in offshore wind farms, the demands for umbilicals and power cables have increased. The on-bottom stability of umbilicals and power cables under the combined wave and current loading is the most challenging design issue, due to their light weight and the complex fluid–cable–soil interaction.

Real-Time Prediction of the Dynamic Spatial Configuration of Umbilical Cables Based on Monitoring Data During Deep-Sea In-Situ Mining

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Prediction of the spatial configuration of the umbilical cable during deep-sea mining in-situ tests is of great significance because dynamic change may cause the umbilical cable to touch the ground or overturn the mining vehicle.
