Article Synopsis
  • This study compares tissue damage and hidden blood loss (HBL) in two minimally invasive spinal procedures: unilateral biportal endoscopic lumbar discectomy (UBE) and percutaneous endoscopic interlaminar discectomy (PEID), focusing on identifying risk factors for HBL.
  • Conducted with 159 patients, results showed that the average HBL was significantly higher in the UBE group (431 ml) compared to the PEID group (328 ml), highlighting a notable difference in the two techniques.
  • Correlational analyses found that operation time was a consistent independent risk factor for HBL in both groups, with additional factors varying between the procedures, such as preoperative hematocrit in UBE and diabetes in PE

Owing to the outstanding comprehensive properties of high energy density, excellent cycling ability, and reasonable cost, Ni-rich layered oxides (NCM) are the most promising cathode for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). To further enhance the specific capacity of Ni-rich layered oxides, it is necessary to increase the cut-off voltage to a higher level. However, a higher cut-off voltage can lead to substantial structural changes and trigger interface side reactions, presenting significant challenges for practical applications (cycle life and safety).

Objectives: To explore an optimal machine learning (ML) model trained on MRI-based radiomic features to differentiate benign from malignant indistinguishable vertebral compression fractures (VCFs).

Methods: This retrospective study included patients within 6 weeks of back pain (non-traumatic) who underwent MRI and were diagnosed with benign and malignant indistinguishable VCFs. The two cohorts were retrospectively recruited from the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University (QUH) and Qinghai Red Cross Hospital (QRCH).

Na V (PO ) F (NVPF) is a suitable cathode for sodium-ion batteries owing to its stable structure. However, the large radius of Na restricts diffusion kinetics during charging and discharging. Thus, in this study, a phosphomolybdic acid (PMA)-assisted hydrothermal method is proposed.

Due to the higher specific capacity and operating voltage platform of the ternary cathode material (LiCoNiMnO), it has a specific market application in the electric vehicle (EV) industry. Gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) have proven to be an effective method of resolving this issue. As a result of its high conductivity and safety performance, pentaerythritol tetraacrylate (PETEA) is a promising gel polymer electrolyte.

Article Synopsis
  • Cobalt diselenide (CoSe) is a promising material for sodium-ion batteries because of its high theoretical capacity, but struggles with stability and performance over time.
  • A new hybrid structure, TNC-CoSe, combines CoSe with nitrogen-doped carbon and a TiO layer, enhancing ion and electron movement and reducing degradation during battery use.
  • The TNC-CoSe microcubes show significant improvements in cycling capability and longevity, achieving a capacity retention of 92.7% after 6000 cycles, and can potentially advance other metal selenide anodes in rechargeable batteries.
