Comparison of the modified Blumgart mattress vs. interrupted suture pancreaticojejunostomy in minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy
Aim: The modified Blumgart mattress (BM) and conventional interrupted suture (IS) methods are currently the most widely adopted pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) techniques utilized during minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy (MIPD). This study aimed to evaluate the postoperative outcomes between the two PJ techniques using robotic and laparoscopic approaches. Methods: This was a retrospective study involving patients who underwent robotic or laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) performed by two surgeons from two institutions. Surgical outcomes of the patients were compared according to the PJ techniques of robotic BM (Rob-BM), robotic IS (Rob-IS), and laparoscopic IS (Lap-IS), which we...
Improving Amphibian Roadway Mitigation to Decrease Mortality and Increase Connectivity by Experimenting with Ecopassage Design
The Nelsonville bypass, completed in 2013, runs through the largest remaining tract of continuous forest in Ohio, including wetlands and amphibian migration routes. Such habitat fragmentation affects wildlife populations by increasing mortality and reducing connectivity. Thus, the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) installed wildlife mitigation measures, including two amphibian ecopassages with plastic barrier fencing along the new stretch of State Route 78 (SR 78). Barriers limit access to the roadway and direct animals toward ecopassages, which are corridors that channel animals safely over or under the roadway. Researchers at Ohio University have been studying the effectiveness of t...
Ecologizing Education
Ecologizing Education explores how we can reenvision education to meet the demands of an unjust and rapidly changing world. Going beyond "green" schooling programs that aim only to shape behavior, Sean Blenkinsop and Estella Kuchta advance a pedagogical approach that seeks to instills eco-conscious and socially just change at the cultural level. Ecologizing education, as this approach is called, involves identifying and working to overcome anti-ecological features of contemporary education. This approach, called ecologizing education, aims to develop a classroom culture in sync with the more-than-human world where diversity and interdependency are intrinsic. Blenkinsop and Kuchta illustrate ...
Catalogue Baby
A few months after Myriam Steinberg turned forty, she decided she couldn't wait any longer to become a mother. She made the difficult decision to begin the process of conceiving a child without a partner. With her family and friends to support her, she picked a sperm donor and was on her way. But Myriam's journey was far from straightforward. She experienced the soaring highs and devastating lows of becoming pregnant and then losing her babies... Unafraid to publicize her experiences, though, she found that, in return, friends and strangers alike started sharing their own fertility stories with her. Although the lack of understanding and language around foetal loss and grief often made it very hard to navigate everyday life, she nonetheless found solace in the community around her who rallied to support her through her journey. Through it all, Myriam remained hopeful and here she unflinchingly shares her story with wry humour, honesty, and courage.

The Oxford Handbook of Gender, Sex, and Crime
The editors, Rosemary Gartner and Bill McCarthy, have assembled a diverse cast of criminologists, historians, legal scholars, psychologists, and sociologists from a number of countries to discuss key concepts and debates central to the field. The Handbook includes examinations of the historical and contemporary patterns of women's and men's involvement in crime; as well as biological, psychological, and social science perspectives on gender, sex, and criminal activity. Several essays discuss the ways in which sex and gender influence legal and popular reactions to crime. An important theme throughout The Handbook is the intersection of sex and gender with ethnicity, class, age, peer groups, and community as influences on crime and justice. Individual chapters investigate both conventional topics - such as domestic abuse and sexual violence - and topics that have only recently drawn the attention of scholars - such as human trafficking, honor killing, gender violence during war, state rape, and genocide.
