Personal Protective Equipment-Related Nasal Bridge Folliculitis in a Corona Warrior

Nasal bridge is a common site suffering personal protective equipment-induced skin damages over face among first-line health care workers in this coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. We hereby report folliculitis as a complication following r...

Bio-Engineered Graphene-Based Cage for Efficient Local Enrichment and Biodegradation of Aqueous Organic Wastes

Abstract Microorganism immobilization has attracted great attention as a traditional method to overcome aqueous organic wastes containing N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF). In this approach, graphene oxide was modified with functional polymer fi...

Maternal cardiovascular adaptation to twin pregnancy: a population-based prospective cohort study

Abstract Background In women with singleton pregnancies, maternal adaptation is considered a stress test for later life cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to assess maternal adaptation in women with twin pregnancies compared ...

Hydrostatic Pressure Affects In Vitro Maturation of Oocytes and Follicles and Increases Granulosa Cell Death

Objective: This study examines the effects of hydrostatic pressure on in vitro maturation (IVM) of oocytes derived from in vitro grown follicles.Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, preantral follicles were isolated from 12-da...

Exploring innovation landscapes: a national cross-sectional study of Swedish primary care from the viewpoint of primary care managers

Abstract Background Innovation is increasingly necessary in primary care policy, and healthcare managers play a pivotal role in translating policy ambitions into practice and shaping organisational conditions that foster innovation. The aim...

Factors predicting active treatment free-survival and initial experience with mpMRI as a selection tool in patient undergoing active surveillance: 10-year follow-up of SIUrO PRIAS-ITA working group

Management of Ureters Involved in Inguinal Hernias

Background: The presence of a ureter in a hernia sac presents a unique surgical challenge and can increase the likelihood of ureteral injury at the time of surgery as they are often not identified pre-operatively. Here we present our instit...

Spectraplakin is required for dendritic microtubule organization via a tip-based mechanism in Drosophila.

Motion-Compensated PET Image Reconstruction via Separable Parabolic Surrogates

The effective resolution of positron emission tomography (PET) can be significantly degraded by patient motion during data acquisition. This is especially true in the thorax due to respiratory motion. This study concentrates on the improvem...

Improving the Transferability of Suspended Solid Estimation in Wetland and Deltaic Waters with an Empirical Hyperspectral Approach

The deposition of suspended sediment is an important process that helps wetlands accrete surface material and maintain elevation in the face of sea level rise. Optical remote sensing is often employed to map total suspended solids (TSS), th...

Evaluation of the Clinical Utility of Circulating Tumor DNA in the Management of Patients With Nonmetastatic Head and Neck Cancer: Protocol for a Prospective Bicentric Study (CIRVAD).

BioDecryptors, a Bioinformatics Escape Game for Undergraduate and Postgraduate Learners in Clinical Microbiology: Prospective Before-and-After Study.

Research on Personalized Recommendation Algorithm Integrating Cross-Grained Sentiment and Rating Interaction Features

To investigate the impact of cross-grained sentiments on user feature representation and address the issue of data sparsity, this paper proposes a Personalized Recommendation Algorithm Integrating Cross-Grained Sentiment and Rating Interact...

Multi-Sensor Depth Fusion Framework for Real-Time 3D Reconstruction

For autonomous robots, 3D perception of environment is an essential tool, which can be used to achieve better navigation in an obstacle rich environment. This understanding requires a huge amount of computational resources; therefore, the r...

Effect of Heated Wall Corrugation on Thermal Performance in an L-Shaped Vented Cavity Crossed by Metal Foam Saturated with Copper–Water Nanofluid

Practical applications such as solar power energy systems, electronic cooling, and the convective drying of vented enclosures require continuous developments to enhance fluid and heat flow. Numerous studies have investigated the enhancement...

A Novel Depression Rehabilitation Game Framework Using VR Based on Neurofeedback

At present,depression is treated with antidepressant drugs and assisted with psychotherapy and physical therapy,and these expensive and time-consuming treatment methods often end prematurely and result in a prolonged course without effectiv...

Microstructure-based variational deep material networks for robust uncertainty quantification in materials digital twins

Abstract Aleatoric uncertainties – irremovable variability in microstructure morphology, constituent behavior, and processing conditions – pose a major challenge to developing uncertainty-robust digital twins. We introduce the Variational D...

Technology-Supported Behavior Change—Applying Design Thinking to mHealth Application Development

Non-communicable diseases are the leading cause of global deaths. The risk of their development and progression is increased by modifiable behavioral risk factors. Yet, despite the known benefits of primary and secondary prevention, people ...

Research Frontiers in the Field of Agricultural Resources and the Environment

From the perspective of project and paper datasets, research frontier recognition in the field of agricultural resources and the environment using the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic extraction model was studied. By combining the wi...

Vehicular ad hoc networks verification scheme based on bilinear pairings and networks reverse fuzzy extraction

Abstract Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs) have facilitated the massive exchange of real-time traffic and weather conditions, which have helped prevent collisions, reduce accidents, and road congestions. This can effectively enhance drivin...
