Anastomotic leakage after esophagectomy is a serious and demanding complication. Early detection and treatment can probably prevent clinical deterioration of the patient. We have used early endoscopic assessment and a novel endoscopy score to predict anastomotic complications.

57 patients planned for Ivor Lewis esophagectomy were included.…[Read more]

Building on recent work in the sociology of intellectual interventions, the study of cultural boundaries of science, and the role of ideas in politics, the article develops a theory of public epistemologies as argumentative tools people use to support or oppose political positions. Two prominent public epistemologies that have recently…[Read more]

Taking the key components of the MAM monitoring system as the mainstream, this study investigates the MAM monitoring system, measurement and signal acquisition, signal and image processing, as well as machine learning methods for the process monitoring and quality classification. The advantages and disadvantages of their algorithmic…[Read more]

Early initiation of exclusive breastfeeding, diarrhea prevention, and the use of improved latrine and handwashing practices at critical times could be important variables to improve the nutritional status of children.The use of fluorescence imaging technique for visualization, resection and treatment…[Read more]

Ilex × Koehneana ‘Wirt L. Winn’, an important ornamental tree, has been widely distributed in southeastern China. In this study, we assembled and characterized the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of I. Koehneana to investigate its phylogenetic relationship. The whole cp genome of I. Koehneana is 157,538 bp, which contained a large single…[Read more]
