Summary: In this study, the authors investigated factors associated with long-term functional independence in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) who underwent minimally invasive endoscopic evacuation. They found that NIHSS score on presentation, lack of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), and shorter time to evacuation were independently associated with functional independence at 6 months.

Summary: Evacuation modelling has evolved from simple engineering equations to sophisticated models representing evacuation behaviors and decisions. This paper lays the foundation for a more realistic representation of human factors in evacuation models, reviewing recent advances in pedestrian and vehicular evacuation studies to understand the impact of various factors on evacuee behavior. The consensus perspective on key behaviors is used to review recent advances in evacuation modelling, highlighting current limitations and suggesting future research directions.

Summary: The research found that the choice of evacuation did not significantly change before and after the rare debris-flows. Older respondents were more likely to evacuate before the debris-flows, while those worried about the debris-flows were more likely to evacuate afterwards. Residents who did not evacuate based their decision on their home location and perceived risk.

Summary: This study explores the clinical advantages of 3D-Slicer + 3D printing guide combined with transcranial neuroendoscopic in minimally invasive neurosurgery. The results show that this technique allows for accurate lesion positioning and quick target area access during surgery. Postoperative imaging confirms complete lesion removal and proper positioning of the shunt tube. The 3D-Slicer + 3D printing guide combined with transcranial neuroendoscopic technology is cost-effective, easy to operate and learn, accurate in positioning, and suitable for minimally invasive surgery. It can be considered a practical and feasible technology for diagnosis, preoperative planning, and minimally invasive surgery, suitable for promotion in neurosurgery and other surgical departments.

Summary: The duration of evacuation in tall buildings during emergencies is a critical issue, influenced by factors such as stairwell geometry, speed, density, pre-evacuation delay, number of occupants, familiarity with the building, behavior, age, gender, physical abilities, relationships between people, etc. This study conducted two evacuation experiments in a new 107 m tall office building in Bulgaria, under the supervision of professional firefighting personnel, to estimate evacuation times and verify the results through Pathfinder software simulations.

Summary: The study proposes a framework for an agent-based evacuation model to quantify the passenger evacuation capacity (PEC) of cruise ships and provides evaluation results under different evacuation strategies. Results show that while increasing the heeling angle when issuing the evacuation order does not affect the perception time of the first 90% of evacuees, it significantly increases the total evacuation time after more than 20 degrees.

Summary: The challenge of crowd control at large events extends beyond emergency evacuations to improving operational efficiency and comfort. Adaptive cell-based crowd evacuation systems can dynamically generate exit-choice recommendations, improving safety and evacuation time. This study investigates the viability of using this mechanism to develop a leader-follower evacuation system, where trained staff guide evacuees to safety. Experimental results confirm the effectiveness of adaptive cell-based crowd evacuation systems in guiding evacuees, with evacuation staff motion speed playing a crucial role in balancing egress time and safety.

Summary: This study proposes a new pedestrian evacuation model that combines cellular automaton model and game theory to describe the interaction behaviors between pedestrians during crowd evacuation. The simulation results show that low intensity of interaction among pedestrians is beneficial for evacuation efficiency and cooperation behavior formation; high willingness to cooperate in large groups can increase cooperation fraction but prolong evacuation time; initial gathering of groups in the crowd negatively affects evacuation efficiency.

Summary: This paper introduces two smoke-aware evacuation approaches and compares their evacuation success probabilities under different fire scenarios through simulation experiments. The results show that congestion during evacuation significantly affects the success probability, and the evacuation scheduling approach based on accumulated smoke toxicity policy can better address the congestion problem.

Summary: The prevalence of no LARS, minor LARS, and major LARS in patients after taTME was 39.9%, 28.2%, and 31.9%, respectively. The most common symptoms of LARS after taTME were bowel clustering and fecal urgency. Factors such as preoperative chemoradiotherapy, anastomotic method, and preoperative constipation were associated with bowel dysfunction after taTME.

Summary: This study examined the preparedness of US nursing homes in coastal areas for hurricane-related inundation and found regional variations in emergency preparedness. Some areas showed deficiencies in emergency preparedness, while there were opportunities to reduce regional heterogeneity and improve nursing home preparedness.

Summary: This paper focuses on the understudied problem of island evacuation, particularly for islands without permanent road connections to the mainland. It presents a collaborative approach that optimizes the evacuation plan for Bowen Island in Canada and involves a broad range of stakeholders. The results show that the evacuation time depends on various factors and can be accelerated by temporary staging areas.

Summary: This study investigates the effectiveness of single-file formation evacuating with and without a rescue rope. The findings suggest that using a rescue rope can lower fatigue level and increase evacuation speed, especially in deeper water.
