Association of thrombus enhancement with mortality following endovascular therapy in patients with acute anterior circulation stroke.

Background: Thrombus enhancement sign (TES) has emerged as a potential imaging biomarker in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) undergoing endovascular thrombectomy (EVT).

Objective: To evaluate the prognostic value of TES on 90-day mortality and functional outcomes.

Methods: We conducted a prospective, two-center study involving 323 patients with AIS treated with EVT.

Estimating the impact of 2D urban landscape patterns on extreme precipitation based on non-stationary models in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, China.

Rapid urbanization has significantly altered surface landscape configurations, leading to complex urban climates. While much attention has been focused on impervious surfaces' impact on extreme precipitation, a critical gap remains in understanding how various 2D urban landscape components influence extreme precipitation across different durations. Through an analysis of the non-stationarity and spatiotemporal variations in extreme precipitation across the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) from 1990 to 2020, we constructed the non-stationary Generalized Additive Models for Location Scale and Shape (GAMLSS) model by introducing six urban landscape structural metrics as explanatory variables for each of the 27 meteorological stations in the GBA.

The effect of introducing fluorine doping and sulfur vacancies on SnS as the anode electrode of LIBs: a density functional theory study.

As the anode material of LIBs, the SnS electrode boasts a reversible specific capacity as high as 1231 mA h g. Additionally, SnS possesses a CdI2-type layered structure with a layer spacing of 0.59 nm, which allows it to accommodate numerous lithium ions and facilitate rapid charge transfer.

Raman spectroscopy with a microfluidic device embedded with plasmonic metasurface.

Metasurfaces offer a powerful tool to realize label-free and highly sensitive Raman spectroscopy. Embedding metasurfaces into microfluidic channels is promising to establish a new characterizing platform for microfluids. In this Letter, we present a highly stable method for improving the Raman scattering intensity of biological microfluids by using a microfluidic chip embedded with a plasmonic metasurface.
