Randomized Controlled Trial Observational Study
The Diagnostic Efficacy of an App-based Diagnostic Health Care Application in the Emergency Room: eRadaR-Trial. A prospective, Double-blinded, Observational Study.
To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the app-based diagnostic tool Ada and the impact on patient outcome in the emergency room (ER). ⋯ Currently, the classic patient-physician interaction is superior to an AI-based diagnostic tool applied by patients. However, AI tools have the potential to additionally benefit the diagnostic efficacy of clinicians and improve quality of care.

Intracorporeal versus Extracorporeal Anastomosis in Robotic Right Colectomy: A Multicenter, Triple-Blind, Randomized Clinical Trial.
To determine if minimally invasive right colectomy with intra-corporeal anastomosis improves postoperative recovery compared to extra-corporeal anastomosis. ⋯ There were no significant differences in postoperative recovery between the two groups.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
The Role of Pelvic Floor Muscle Training on Low Anterior Resection Syndrome A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial.
Total mesorectal excision (TME) for rectal cancer (RC) often results in significant bowel symptoms, commonly known as low anterior resection syndrome (LARS). Although pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) is recommended in noncancer populations for treating bowel symptoms, this has been scarcely investigated in RC patients. The objective was to investigate PFMT effectiveness on LARS in patients after TME for RC. ⋯ PFMT for bowel symptoms after TME resulted in lower proportions and faster recovery of bowel symptoms up to 6 months after surgery/stoma closure, justifying PFMT as an early, first-line treatment option for bowel symptoms after RC.
