Cation and anion transport in the colonocyte apical membrane is highly spatially organized along the cryptal axis. Because of lack of experimental accessibility, information about the functionality of ion transporters in the colonocyte apical membran...
Background and Objectives: Increased revision rate of dual-modular (DM) femoral stems in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) because of modular-neck breakage and adverse local tissue reactions (ALTRs) to additional junction damage products is well e...
The impact of age and sex on femoral component choices in modular total hip arthroplasty (THA) is still unknown. A regional arthroplasty registry was interrogated about a modular stem in THA performed for primary osteoarthritis, with the aims to asse...
Generally, the unit cell in a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) stack is divided into different zones according to the characteristics of the bipolar plate. There is a zone that has been neglected, which we define as the “neck zone&rdq...
In primary total hip arthroplasty (THA), dual-modular stems were introduced to better restore hip stability, femoral offset, and leg length. This entry highlights the gathered knowledge about dual-modular stems and related complications in combinatio...
During glycolysis, the muscle isoform of pyruvate kinase PKM2 produces ATP in exchange for dephosphorylation of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) into pyruvate. PKM2 has been considered as a tumor-promoting factor in most cancers, whereas the regulatory role...
Dropped head syndrome (DHS) is characterized by severe forward flexion of the cervical spine due to an imbalance in neck muscle tone. This condition can be linked to various neuromuscular diseases, including myasthenia gravis (MG). On the other hand,...
Small targets exist in large numbers in various fields. They are broadly used in aerospace, video monitoring, and industrial detection. However, because of its tiny dimensions and modest resolution, the precision of small-target detection is low, and...
To address the frequent external damage incidents to transmission line corridors caused by construction machinery such as excavators and cranes, this paper constructs a dataset of external damage hazards in transmission line corridors and proposes a...
Background and Objectives: Sensory ganglionopathy is a rare neurological disorder caused by degeneration of the neurons composing the dorsal root ganglia. It manifests as various sensory disturbances in the trunk, proximal limbs, face, or mouth in a...
Headland rips, sometimes referred to as boundary rips, are rip currents flowing against natural or artificial obstructions extending seaward from the beach, such as headland or groynes. They can be driven either by the deflection of the longshore cur...
Drones equipped with visible and infrared sensors play a vital role in urban road supervision. However, conventional methods using RGB-IR image pairs often struggle to extract effective features. These methods treat these spectra independently, missi...
A three-dimensional two-phase lattice Boltzmann model (LBM) is implemented and validated for qualitative study of the fundamental phenomena of liquid water transport in the porous layer of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). In the present...
We have recently shown that VAV2, a guanosine nucleotide exchange factor that catalyzes the stimulation step of RHO GTPases, is involved in a stem cell-like (SCL) regenerative proliferation program that is important for the development and subsequent...
In large public places such as railway stations and airports, dense pedestrian detection is important for safety and security. Deep learning methods provide relatively effective solutions but still face problems such as feature extraction difficultie...
Acetaldehyde is a highly reactive compound that causes various forms of damage to DNA, including DNA adducts, single- and/or double-strand breaks (DSBs), point mutations, sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs), and DNA–DNA cross-links. Among these, DNA ad...
Inorganic ions, such as sodium and potassium, are present in all biological matrices and are sometimes also added during sample preparation. However, these inorganic ions are known to hamper electrospray ionization -mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) applica...
Tongue cancer is one of the most common carcinomas of the head and neck region. The antitumor activities of statins, including lovastatin (LV), and the essential oil of eucalyptus (Eu oil), have been adequately reported. The aim of this study was to...
Background: Indwelling catheters are used in the perioperative management of patients treated with total joint arthroplasty (TJA) to facilitate fluid control, ease postoperative miction until patients are able to ambulate, and prevent postoperative u...
In the context of rapidly advancing agricultural technology, precise and efficient methods for crop detection and counting play a crucial role in enhancing productivity and efficiency in crop management. Monitoring corn tassels is key to assessing pl...
The cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 forms filaments of communicating cells. Under conditions of nitrogen scarcity, some cells differentiate into heterocysts, allowing the oxygen-sensitive N2-reduction system to be expressed and operated in oxic...
Background: During the COVID-19 emergency, the incidence of fragility fractures in elderly patients remained unchanged. The management of these patients requires a multidisciplinary approach. The study aimed to assess the best surgical approach to tr...
Background and Clinical Significance: Adverse reactions to metal debris (ARMD) are a rare but increasingly recognized complication following total hip arthroplasty (THA), with some studies suggesting upwards of 5% of metal-on-metal (MoM) and 3% of me...
A proposition addressed here is that, although bitted horses are viewed by many equestrians as being largely free of bit-related mouth pain, it seems likely that most behavioural signs of such pain are simply not recognised. Background information is...
