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

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.
