Interpretable Machine Learning Enables Preoperative Physiologic Risk Stratification for Dysphagia After Anti-Reflux Surgery

This study presents an interpretable machine learning framework that integrates multimodal preoperative physiologic data to generate a clinically deployable risk score for accurately predicting new-onset postoperative dysphagia following anti-reflux surgery.

Design, Implementation and Deployment of a Remote Patient Monitoring System in Pro-Active Cancer Care Pathways

This paper details the design, implementation, and real-world deployment of HALO-X, a specialized remote patient monitoring platform for cancer care that successfully integrated multi-modal biometric and questionnaire data across three clinical studies to differentiate patient outcomes while addressing key challenges in cost, interoperability, and clinical adoption.

Accessory posterior cerebral artery-posterior cerebral artery anastomosis incidentally diagnosed by magnetic resonance angiography

This paper reports a rare case of a congenital accessory posterior cerebral artery (PCA) arising from the internal carotid artery and anastomosing with the normal PCA just distal to the P1-P2 junction, a variant that was successfully identified through careful analysis of magnetic resonance angiography source images and partial maximum-intensity-projection reconstructions.

A case of severe terbinafine induced gastritis presenting as a likely protein losing enteropathy

This paper reports a rare case of severe terbinafine-induced gastritis presenting as protein-losing enteropathy in a patient with POEMS syndrome, which resolved upon discontinuation of the drug and highlights the need to consider medication-induced gastritis when common causes are excluded.

Assessment of time required to reach plantar thermal acclimatisation in patients with diabetes.

This study demonstrates that clinically relevant plantar thermal asymmetry in patients with diabetes stabilizes immediately upon imaging, suggesting that current fixed 15-minute acclimatisation protocols may be unnecessarily long and should be re-evaluated to prioritize asymmetry over absolute temperature stabilization.

Comparison of European regionwide and Japanese nationwide surveys on gynecologic robotic surgery

This study compares European and Japanese surveys on gynecologic robotic surgery, revealing that while interest and system availability are comparable, Japanese surgeons face significantly fewer hands-on training opportunities, highlighting the need for structured educational systems and further regional collaboration.
