Background/Aims Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for residual or recurrent colorectal lesions after incomplete resection is challenging because of severe fibrosis.This study aimed to compare the efficacy of the pocket-creation method (PCM) with a traction device (TD) with that of conventional ESD for residual or recurrent colorectal lesions.M
IntroductionThe COVID-19 pandemic has had devastating effects worldwide, but the trajectory of the pandemic has been milder in Low-and-Middle-Income Countries (LMICs), including those in Africa.Co-infection with helminths, such as Ascaris lumbricoides, has been suggested as a possible factor contributing to the reduced severity observed in these re
In problems of global hydroelastic ship response in severe seas including the whipping problem, we need to know the hydrodynamic forces acting on the ship hull during almost arbitrary ship motions.In terms of ship sections, some of them can enter water but others exit from water.Computations of nonlinear free surface flows, pressure distributions a
Bronchogenic cysts are congenital malformations caused by abnormal lung buds.Almost all bronchogenic cysts are found in the thoracic cavity but rarely in the neck.We report a rare case of a cervical bronchogenic cyst diagnosed in the fetal stage.A male baby with a cervical cyst detected at 20 weeks of gestation was suspected of having a 4-cm cystic
The advancement of intelligent road transport represents a promising direction in the evolution of transportation systems, aimed at improving road safety and reducing traffic accidents.The integration of artificial intelligence, sensors, and machine vision systems enables autonomous vehicles (AVs) to rapidly adapt to changes in the road environment
