Experimental Evaluation of a Recrosslinkable CO-Resistant Micro-Sized Preformed Particle Gel for CO Sweep Efficiency Improvement in Reservoirs with Super-K Channels.

A recrosslinkable CO-resistant branched preformed particle gel (CO-BRPPG) was developed for controlling CO injection conformance, particularly in reservoirs with super-permeable channels. Previous work focused on a millimeter-sized CO-BRPPG in open fractures, but its performance in high-permeability channels with pore throat networks remained unexplored. This study used a sandpack model to evaluate a micro-sized CO-BRPPG under varying conditions of salinity, gel concentration, and pH.

Persisting Chronic Periodontal Disease as a Risk Factor for Cardiovascular Disease: A Nationwide Population-Based Cohort Study.

Aims: Epidemiological studies have consistently established a positive association between periodontal disease (PD) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, large-scale investigations exploring the impact of changes in PD status on CVD risk are scarce. This study aimed to investigate the association between the dynamics in PD and the risk of incident CVD in a nationally representative population.

Night shift work and prostate cancer: a large cohort study from UK Biobank and Mendelian randomisation study.

Objective: The global concern regarding the health implications of night shift work has escalated. Nevertheless, variations exist in the observed association between night shift work and prostate cancer (PCa). This study aims to systematically explore the association between night shift work and the risk of PCa.

Expert consensus on sequential surgery following conversion therapy based on combination of immune checkpoint inhibitors and antiangiogenic targeted drugs for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (2024 edition).

Up to half of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cases are diagnosed at an advanced stage, for which effective treatment options are lacking, resulting in a poor prognosis. Over the past few years, the combination of immune checkpoint inhibitors and anti-angiogenic targeted therapy has proven highly efficacious in treating advanced HCC, significantly extending patients' survival and providing a potential for sequential curative surgery. After sequential curative hepatectomy or liver transplantation following conversion therapy, patients can receive long-term survival benefits.

From White to Reddish-Brown: The Anthocyanin Journey in Driven by Auxin and Genetic Regulators.

, or wine-cap Stropharia, is a well-known edible mushroom cultivated globally. The pileipellis color is a crucial quality attribute of , exhibiting significant variation throughout its developmental stages. However, the pigment types and regulatory mechanisms behind color variation remain unclear.
