Methods: This single-center retrospective descriptive study involved pediatric patients with diabetic ketoacidosis in the pediatric emergency department between January 2022 and April 2023.

AiroTouch: enhancing telerobotic assembly through naturalistic haptic feedback of tool vibrations.

Teleoperation allows workers to safely control powerful construction machines; however, its primary reliance on visual feedback limits the operator's efficiency in situations with stiff contact or poor visibility, hindering its use for assembly of pre-fabricated building components. Reliable, economical, and easy-to-implement haptic feedback could fill this perception gap and facilitate the broader use of robots in construction and other application areas. Thus, we adapted widely available commercial audio equipment to create AiroTouch, a naturalistic haptic feedback system that measures the vibration experienced by each robot tool and enables the operator to feel a scaled version of this vibration in real time.

Sex-related differences in within-subject biological variation estimates for 22 essential and non-essential amino acids.

Background: Measurement of serum amino acid (AA) concentrations is important in particular for the diagnosis and monitoring of inborn errors of AA metabolism. To ensure optimal clinical interpretation of AAs, reliable biological variation (BV) data are essential. In the present study, we derived BV data for 22 non-essential, conditionally essential, and essential AAs and assessed differences in BV of AAs related to sex.

Construction of a Bacterial Lipidomics Analytical Platform: Pilot Validation with Bovine Paratuberculosis Serum.

Lipidomics analyses of bacteria offer the potential to detect and monitor infections in a host since many bacterial lipids are not present in mammals. To evaluate this omics approach, we first built a database of bacterial lipids for representative Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Our lipidomics analysis of the reference bacteria involved high-resolution mass spectrometry and electrospray ionization with less than a 1.

Subfatin, asprosin, alamandine and maresin-1 in cerebral ischemia, intracranial and subarachnoid hemorrhages.

The coupling of blue emitting carbon dots with Eu/Tb co-doped luminescent glasses for utilization in white light emitting diodes.

Lanthanide-doped luminescent glasses have attracted tremendous attention in modern optoelectronic applications, especially for solid-state white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs). Eu/Tb co-doped luminescent glasses are well-known to emit intense yellowish-orange light resulting from the energy transfer from green-emitting sensitizer Tb ions to red-emitting activator Eu ions. Obtaining highly efficient blue light from lanthanide ions remains a challenge due to their weak down-converted emission.
