Construction of the original transformable esophageal probe is thoroughly described. The innovated construction suggests lesser traumatisation by insertion and spiral expansion, together with secure compression hemostasis. Unlike the traditionally used obturating Blackmore probe, the spiral transformable original construction leaves the esophageal lumen open for further endoscopic hemostatic procedures. The feature provides exclusive advantages of the original construction.

Background: Although self-esteem is a relatively new concept, first developed in the field of social psychology, it has gained increasing importance in psychiatry, especially as a diagnostic criterion. However, it is poorly evaluated in clinical practice. The lack of an instrument allowing an easy global assessment may be the reason for this.

Background: Medical professionals who are engaged in palliative care commonly experience negative emotions resulting from the pain and grief experienced by patients and family members, which results in enormous psychological pressure for professionals, and the risk related to job burnout is significantly greater.
Objective: We aimed to explore the factors influencing job burnout and resilience among palliative care professionals.
Methods: We conducted a qualitative study using semistructured interviews and purposeful sampling methods.

Background: High-risk pregnancy leads to uncertainty and stress in pregnant women due to the threatened of mother and fetus health. The Uncertainty Stress Scale High-Risk Pregnancy Version, a 54-item Chinese version (USS-HRPV-C), has been widely used to assess the uncertainty and stress that women experience during pregnancy. However, the length of the scale may result in a burden for respondents.

The ongoing soft actuation has accentuated the demand for dielectric elastomers (DEs) capable of large deformation to replace the traditional rigid mechanical apparatus. However, the low actuation strain of DEs considerably limits their practical applications. This work developed high-performance polyurethane-urea (PUU) elastomers featuring large actuation strains utilizing an approach of kinetic control over the microphase separation structure during the fabrication process.
