The characteristics of patients with anal fistula cancer included a higher proportion of men, younger age, more smokers, and tumor‐related characteristics, including more advanced local progression. Surgical characteristics included a lower rate of minimally invasive surgery, a higher proportion of total pelvic exenterations, and longer postoperative ...

A practical electrodialysis model for accelerating system development
Abstract Empirical optimization of electrodialysis (ED) is dependent on repetitive experiments with incremental adjustments, which is cost prohibitive at scale. While models can reduce the costs associated with optimization and scale‐up, existing ED models are limited in application to specific use cases and tend to be developed for the exploration of ...
