Association Between Kyphosis and Sleep Disturbance in Community-Dwelling Older Adults: The Locomotive Syndrome and Health Outcome in Aizu Cohort Study.

Purpose: Worsening sagittal alignment of the spine, particularly kyphosis, may cause difficulty in assuming a supine position, restricting sleeping posture and movement and potentially leading to sleep disturbances. However, no studies have explored the relationship between sagittal spinal alignment and sleep disturbance. This study aimed to clarify the relationship between sagittal spinal alignment and sleep disturbance.

Electrical signals dataset from fixed-speed and variable-speed synchronous generators under healthy and faulty conditions.

Proper monitoring of rotating machines is responsible for the efficiency in detecting, diagnosing, or even prognosing failures. Effective monitoring can lead to increased economic viability of any equipment, as it may reduce costly repairs, decrease downtime, and increase safety. Knowing the behaviour of a machine promotes better monitoring of its operation and maintenance.

Key Factors in Fluid Irrigation Control: A Comparative Study of Arthroscope and Monoportal Scope in Biportal Spine Surgery.

The purpose of this retrospective study was to compare patient satisfaction and irrigation fluid usage between arthroscopy-based Biportal Endoscopic Decompression (A-BED) and monoportal scope-based biportal decompression, also known as Assisted Full-Endoscopic Spine Surgery (AFESS). A total of 89 patients (52 A-BED, 37 AFESS) who underwent either procedure between September 2020 and April 2024 were included in the study. While arthroscopic scopes have traditionally been used in biportal surgeries, the monoportal scope offers the advantage of self-contained fluid management, allowing for more efficient irrigation.

FINE CULM1 Encoding a TEOSINTE BRANCHED1-like TCP Transcription Factor Negatively Regulates Axillary Meristem Formation in Rice.

Shoot branching is a critical determinant of plant architecture and a key factor affecting crop yield. The shoot branching involves two main processes: axillary meristem formation and subsequent bud outgrowth. While considerable progress has been made in elucidating the genetic mechanisms underlying the latter process, our understanding of the former process remains limited.

T-ALL presenting with i-TLP-like indolent clinical course with repeated spontaneous regressions.

Rapidly progressing ALL, a potentially fatal disease, demands timely diagnosis and treatment. On the other hand, spontaneous remission/regression (SR) is reported in various cancers including aggressive tumors like ALL. Infection or trauma-mediated immune system activation is assumed to cause SR, with the duration in cases of ALL typically being short.
