Age and Regional Trends in Groin Hernia Surgery in Japan: An Analysis of Laparoscopic Repair, Outpatient Surgery, and Manual Reduction Using National Database Open Data

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Using National Database open data from 2014 to 2023, this nationwide study visualizes age‐, sex‐, and region‐specific trends in groin hernia surgery in Japan. Laparoscopic surgery, outpatient surgery, and manual reduction were analyzed to estimate lifetime surgical burden and patterns of emergency‐related healthcare utilization at the population level.

Contemporary Regional Disparities in Robotic‐Assisted Rectal Resection in Japan: A Nationwide Population‐Based Study Using the National Database Open Data

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Robotic‐assisted rectal resection in Japan increased markedly after national insurance reimbursement in 2018, with a concurrent decline in open surgery. Using NDB Open Data, we found substantial inter‐prefectural heterogeneity in surgical volume and robotic utilization that persisted after age and sex standardization (SCR). Urban–rural differences were

Regional Disparities in Case Volumes and Surgeon Distribution in Gastroenterological Surgery

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Regional disparities in surgical resources may influence the delivery and sustainability of gastroenterological surgery, particularly in countries experiencing rapid population aging and depopulation. Methods This nationwide cross‐sectional study used data from the Japanese National Clinical Database to examine temporal trends (2013–

Autonomous X‐Ray Fluorescence Mapping for Nanoscale Chemical Speciation of Fine Particulate Matter

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
We present X‐AutoMap, an autonomous X‐ray fluorescence mapping framework that integrates real‐time analysis with rule‐based computer vision to selectively target chemically relevant regions. By avoiding background‐dominated areas, the method reduces acquisition time by fourfold while enabling accurate particle‐level speciation.

High‐Speed Altitude Regulation With Neuromorphic Camera and Lightweight Embedded Computation

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Neuromorphic cameras deliver rapid, high‐dynamic‐range sensing but overwhelm embedded processors at high speeds. This work presents a lightweight, optimized Lucas–Kanade optical flow method with parallelization, gyroscopic derotation, and adaptive event slicing.
