TL;DR: In this paper , the authors developed and validated a new modelling approach for adhesion forces between colon and abdominal wall, which is referred to as Colonoscopy Vacuum Model (CoVaMo), which was validated with 11 test persons with varying level of expertise.

TL;DR: An automated swallow detection and a first classification system are implemented to help medi-cal professionals gain faster and easier insight in circadian (dys) motility of the esophagus and paves the way for a broad clinical use in the future.

TL;DR: First promising results concerning feasibility of transluminal anastomosis generation are revealed and an experimental protocol has to be developed to assess relevant parameters as a basis for an objective comparison of the different implant models.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed an experimental setup to measure colon tissue compression piercing forces, including variations of three tissue fixation configurations, three piercing body configurations (four, eight, twelve spikes) and insertion trajectories of constant velocities.
