Current lithium batteries experience significant performance degradation under extreme temperature conditions, both high and low. Traditional wide-temperature electrolyte designs typically addressed these challenges by manipulating the solvation sheath and selecting solvents with extreme melting/boiling points. However, these solvent-mediated solutions, while effective at one temperature extreme, invariably fail at the opposite end due to the inherent difficulties in maintaining solvent stability across wide temperatures.

Background: Cognitive decline is a significant concern for stroke survivors, affecting their quality of life and increasing their burden on the healthcare system. DL-3-n-butylphthalide (butylphthalide) has shown efficacy in the short-term treatment of various cognitive impairments. This study evaluated the efficacy of butylphthalide in preventing cognitive decline over a 12-month period in patients with ischaemic stroke.

Objective: To develop and validate a deep learning signature for noninvasive prediction of spread through air spaces (STAS) in clinical stage I lung adenocarcinoma and compare its predictive performance with conventional clinical-semantic model.

Methods: A total of 513 patients with pathologically-confirmed stage I lung adenocarcinoma were retrospectively enrolled and were divided into training cohort (n = 386) and independent validation cohort (n = 127) according to different center. Clinicopathological data were collected and CT semantic features were evaluated.
