New zeolite-based composite pads with high-volume blood absorption for early warning of postpartum hemorrhage.

Medical treatment of severe blood loss during labor is crucial, and the early warning indicator of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is essential for labor medical treatment. Measurement of blood loss conventionally looks dirty, reluctant, and less hygienic since some of the blood might be spilled out in the maternity bed, while commercially existing pads have low blood absorption capacity. A new design composite pad composed of absorbent materials, including cellulose rayon, super absorbent polymer (SAP), and zeolite was fabricated and characterized.

A new CNN-BASED object detection system for autonomous mobile robots based on real-world vehicle datasets.

Recently, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) have begun to be used in the delivery of goods, but one of the biggest challenges faced in this field is the navigation system that guides a robot to its destination. The navigation system must be able to identify objects in the robot's path and take evasive actions to avoid them. Developing an object detection system for an AMR requires a deep learning model that is able to achieve a high level of accuracy, with fast inference times, and a model with a compact size that can be run on embedded control systems.

Application of fiber as a sound absorber.

The application of (SG) fiber as a sound absorber is important to reduce the level of noise affected the physical and mental wellbeing of people. The sound absorption coefficient (SAC) and noise reduction coefficient (NRC) of the SG specimen were evaluated based on a typical model-based design using the data analysis with MATLAB. The results showed that SG specimen with a thickness of 20 mm coated with the perforated aluminum sheet (PAS) compared to that without coating can improve the capability of sound absorption by 14% at the frequency of 4000 Hz.

Genome of a middle Holocene hunter-gatherer from Wallacea.

Much remains unknown about the population history of early modern humans in southeast Asia, where the archaeological record is sparse and the tropical climate is inimical to the preservation of ancient human DNA. So far, only two low-coverage pre-Neolithic human genomes have been sequenced from this region. Both are from mainland Hòabìnhian hunter-gatherer sites: Pha Faen in Laos, dated to 7939-7751 calibrated years before present (yr cal BP; present taken as AD 1950), and Gua Cha in Malaysia (4.

Comparison of staining potential of silver diamine fluoride versus silver diamine fluoride and potassium iodide under tooth-colored restorations: An study.

Background: Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is one of the effectual cariostatic agents widely used in minimal intervention dentistry. However, the major drawback of SDF is dark staining after its application.

Aim: In the present study, the staining of 38% SDF alone and 38% SDF and potassium iodide (KI) was compared after restoration with glass-ionomer cement (GIC) and resin composite using ImageJ software.

Comparative evaluation of antimicrobial efficacy of glass ionomer cement added with propolis, chitosan, and chlorhexidine against and : An study.

Context: Glass ionomer cement (GIC) is known for its antimicrobial activity due to its low pH and fluoride release. The fluoride released has an inhibitory effect on a finite number of bacteria which leads to the risk of recurrent caries. Additives such as chlorhexidine (CHX) and triclosan have been tried to maximize the antibacterial activity of GIC.

Chemokine Ligand 5 to Predict Optimal Cytoreduction in Ovarian Cancer.

Purpose: The ultimate goal of cytoreduction surgery is the complete removal of all visible tumors (complete cytoreductive surgery) or tumor residues <1 cm (optimal cytoreduction surgery). Following cytoreduction surgery in ovarian cancer, tumor residue is one of the most important prognostic factors. Oncologists strive to be able to predict the outcome of cytoreduction surgery during the presurgical period.

Park Algorithm as Predictor of Premature Ventricular Contraction Origin in Three-Dimensional Mapping Electrophysiological Studies.

Purpose: In the past few years, premature ventricular contraction (PVC) has attracted immense attention, both in patients with or without structural heart disease. Despite the technological advancement, no guiding tools are currently available to assist in the prediction of origin of PVC using a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) before electrophysiology and ablation procedures. Park and co-workers compiled the existing algorithms for the morphology of ECG from the literature and generated a single algorithm based on specific features of ECG for the prediction of PVC origin.

Sequelae of delayed replantation of maxillary permanent incisors after avulsion: A case series with 24-month follow-up and clinical review.

Replantation of avulsed incisors in young children is a successful treatment modality. Almost all replanted teeth exhibit ankylosis followed by inflammatory or replacement resorption, as immediate replantation is practically rare. The purpose of the review is to report a series of cases of prolonged delay in replantation of avulsed incisors and discuss its sequelae, leading to different patterns of root resorption after a minimum follow-up period of 24 months.

Idiopathic peripheral ossifying fibroma in a young adolescent girl: A very rare clinical presentation.

The use of the term "fibroma" for any soft-tissue lesion or gingival lesion by general practitioners has led to inadequate diagnosis of quite a few rare entities. The occurrence of gingival lesions in adolescent female patients is a routine clinical finding. The site of occurrence of such a lesion is of prime significance, as the rarity of these lesions is determined by the site and size of the lesion.

Erupted odontome associated with a primary molar: A unique clinical presentation, 4-year follow-up.
