On the anatomy of acoustic emission.

Abrupt, local frictional fault failure comprises a displacement that is normally accompanied by acoustic emission (AE)-an impulsive elastic wave broadcast with an amplitude proportional to particle velocity. The aggregate of these displacements is the basic fault motion. In laboratory shear experiments, the examination of a sequence of laboratory earthquakes includes continuous measurements of fault motion and the associated AE that is broadcast.

Simultaneous single-nucleus RNA sequencing and single-nucleus ATAC sequencing of neuroblastoma cell lines.

Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor in children, and a leading cause of childhood cancer deaths. All neuroblastomas arise from neural crest-derived sympathetic neuronal progenitors, but numerous mutations, the most common of which is MYCN amplification, give rise to these lesions. Epigenetic aberrations also play a role in oncogenesis and tumor progression.

Implementation and Evaluation of an Academic Development Rotation for Surgery Residents.

Objective: To describe the design, implementation, and evaluation of a two-week rotation intended to enhance junior surgical residents' preparation for their dedicated professional development time (PDT) and academic careers.

Design: As part of a multifaceted effort to promote residents' academic development, we designed a two-week, nonclinical "Academic Development Block" (ADB) rotation for postgraduate year (PGY)-2 and -3 residents. During this rotation, residents meet with clinical, research, and peer mentors and work on academic activities, with relevant deliverables specific to each class year.

Dietary iron deficiency impairs effector function of memory T cells following influenza infection.

The establishment of memory T cell responses is critical to protection against pathogens and is influenced by the conditions under which memory formation occurs. Iron is an essential micronutrient for multiple immunologic processes and nutritional deficiency is a common problem worldwide. Despite its prevalence, the impact of nutritional iron deficiency on the establishment of memory T cell responses is not fully understood.

Five-year Follow-up of a Prospective Food and Drug Administration Investigational Device Exemption Trial Evaluating a PEEK-on-Ceramic Cervical Disk Replacement.

Study Design: Prospective trial comparing the investigation group to propensity-matched historic control group.

Objective: To evaluate five-year results of single-level PEEK-on-ceramic cervical total disc replacement (TDR) compared with a propensity-matched anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) control group.

Summary Of Background Data: Cervical TDR has gained acceptance as a treatment for symptomatic disk degeneration.
