Fecal incontinence, arising from a myriad of pathogenic mechanisms, has attracted considerable global attention. Despite its significance, the replication of the defecatory system for studying fecal incontinence mechanisms remains limited largely due to social stigma and taboos. Inspired by the rectum's functionalities, we have developed a soft robotic

In this prospective cohort study of 212 women undergoing Induction of Labour (IOL) with oral misoprostol, we found no significant differences in safety outcomes between outpatient and inpatient care. Our findings suggest that outpatient IOL with oral misoprostol may be a safe and feasible alternative, potentially reducing hospital stays, though larger ...
