Tough and Skin‐Free Porous Polyelectrolyte Complex Hydrogels via Salt‐Induced Aqueous Phase Separation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Controlling counterion exchange rate during aqueous phase separation enables the formation of skin‐free, homogeneously porous polyelectrolyte complex hydrogels by suppressing kinetically trapped skin layers and macrovoids. The resulting hydrogel networks exhibit exceptional toughness (∼15 MJ·m−3) and enable 3D (bio)printing and post‐functionalization ...

AI-Assisted Recognition of Actual Ureteral and Pancreatic Injuries in Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery: A Randomized Video Review Study. [PDF]

Ann Gastroenterol Surg
AI‐generated anatomical highlighting improved surgeons' recognition of actual ureteral injuries during laparoscopic colorectal surgery, including recognition within predefined injury time‐code windows. No significant overall improvement was observed for pancreatic injury, and incorrect adverse‐event judgments did not increase in no‐injury videos. These

The role of video-assisted vascular surgery

European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, 1998
During the past few years the use of minimal access surgery has rapidly expanded to involve numerous procedures, particularly in general surgery. By reducing the postoperative pain and shortening hospital stay, video-endoscopic techniques were soon accepted by patients and after a while by their surgeons.
