Inter-rater and intra-rater reliability of multi-slice CT and three-dimensional reconstructed imaging analysis of mesenteric vascular anatomy for planning and performing complete mesocolic excision.

Aim: Complete mesocolic excision (CME) for colon cancer has been associated with improved oncological outcomes but requires a detailed understanding of complex mesenteric vasculature. Three-dimensional (3D) reconstructed models derived from patient imaging could enhance preoperative anatomical comprehension, enabling safer, precision CME.

Methods: In this two-phase, blinded, crossover study, four expert CME surgeons evaluated mesenteric vascular anatomy on CT scans and 3D models.

Classifying Continuous Glucose Monitoring Documents From Electronic Health Records.

Background: Clinical use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is increasing storage of CGM-related documents in electronic health records (EHR); however, the standardization of CGM storage is lacking. We aimed to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of CGM Ambulatory Glucose Profile (AGP) classification criteria.

Methods: We randomly chose 2244 (18.

Navigating Dementia: Political Materialities of Public Transport in the All-Ageing Metropolis.

Age- and dementia-friendliness are major areas of contemporary urban policy and scholarship, seeking to maintain older people and those with cognitive impairment in their own homes and communities. Such work relies on architectural augmentation to maximise the functionality of ageing bodies and minds and has been criticised for conceptualising place as a static unidirectional determinant of individual disability. New materialist scholarship on place, ageing and disability is challenging such conceptions, theorising people and places as dynamically co-constituting socio-material ecologies that co-age and co-dis/enable.

Music Interventions in Hyperacute and Acute Stroke Patients: A Randomized Controlled Pilot Feasibility Study.

Objective: Music interventions have been shown to have beneficial effects on hemodynamic parameters, pain, and anxiety in various medical settings. However, music interventions in the setting of acute stroke have not been studied. The objective of this trial was to perform a pilot feasibility study of music interventions in the setting of acute stroke to inform a larger efficacy trial.

Utilisation of Anthropogenic Food by Red Foxes () in Britain as Determined by Stable Isotope Analysis.

Dietary analyses utilising visual methods to identify stomach and faecal contents have shown that urban red foxes () in Britain consume human-derived (anthropogenic) food to varying degrees. Anthropogenic foods have been implicated in poor health outcomes for synanthropic species that consume them; therefore, it is important to examine the degree of such foods in the British fox diet. We analysed the carbon (δC) and nitrogen (δN) stable isotope ratios of whiskers collected from 93 foxes from across Britain to determine: (1) if stable isotope analysis (SIA) distinguished a difference in δC and δN between rural and urban foxes, and whether any difference was suggestive of anthropogenic food use; (2) the proportion of anthropogenic food consumption in urban foxes compared to rural foxes using a Bayesian mixing model; (3) whether sex, age or season of collection influenced fox diet as assessed by SIA, in relation to anthropogenic food use.
