A High-Precision Inverse Finite Element Method for Shape Sensing and Structural Health Monitoring.

In the contemporary era, the further exploitation of deep-sea resources has led to a significant expansion of the role of ships in numerous domains, such as in oil and gas extraction. However, the harsh marine environments to which ships are frequently subjected can result in structural failures. In order to ensure the safety of the crew and the ship, and to reduce the costs associated with such failures, it is imperative to utilise a structural health monitoring (SHM) system to monitor the ship in real time.

Health-related quality of life in osteoarthritis patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

The aim of this meta-analysis was to compare health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of Osteoarthritis (OA) patients and controls. A systematic literature search was performed on PubMed, Web of Science and EMBASE from database inception to 7 January 2020. Random effect model was performed to summarize the scores of each domain and the forest plot was used to compare the scores of OA patients with healthy controls.

[Current status of laparoscopic resection for rectal cancer].

This article discusses the current status of laparoscopic rectal caner resection through reviewing the recently reported randomized and non-randomized international literatures focusing on laparoscopic as well as robotic-assisted laparoscopic resection for rectal cancer, especially on laparoscopic resection for mid and low rectal cancer. Even though laparoscopic resection for rectal cancer is proven to be safe and available, and to possess same efficacy of traditional open operation, so far multi-center randomized controlled trials about this procedure are limited. Open operation is still the standard procedure for rectal cancer.
