Background: Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (RAAA) is a fatal disease. This study aimed to assess the prognostic value of the preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in patients with RAAA undergoing endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR).
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included patients with RAAA who underwent EVAR from 2012 to 2022.

Bivalve mollusks, comprising animals enclosed in two shell valves, are well-adapted to benthic life in many intertidal zones. Clams have evolved the buried lifestyle, which depends on their unique soft tissue structure and their wedge-shaped muscular foot and long extendible siphons. However, molecular mechanisms of adaptative phenotype evolution remain largely unknown.

This study was aimed to explore and compare the motor function rehabilitation mechanism among MO, MI, and ME. 64-channel electroencephalogram and 4-channel electromyogram data were collected from 39 healthy participants (25 males, 14 females; 18-23 years old) during MO, ME, and MI.

Excessive autophagy leading to the loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) is suggested as one potential cause for visual impairment in glaucoma.
Methods: A glaucoma model was established through anterior chamber injection of silicone oil in mice.
Background: Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) are an important tool for assessing pulmonary diseases, although clinicians often find it challenging to accurately evaluate the pulmonary function of children.
Methods: We intend to investigate the association between serum albumin (SA) and lung function among U.S.
Symmetry engineering is explicitly effective to manipulate and even create phases and orderings in strongly correlated materials. Flexural stress is universally practical to break the space-inversion or time-reversal symmetry. Here, by introducing strain gradient in a centrosymmetric antiferromagnet Sr_{2}IrO_{4}, the space-inversion symmetry is broken accompanying a nonequivalent O p-Ir d orbital hybridization along the z axis.

Studies on niche and interspecific association can reveal plant interspecific relationship in the community, and provide theoretical support for promoting the transformation and development of plantation to natural forest. Based on investigation data of permanent plots of plantation in Jianfengling area of Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park, we analyzed niche and interspecific association of the top 20 woody species in the community according to their importance values. The results showed that there were 163 species of woody species belonging to 101 genera and 55 families in the plantation community, with complex species composition.

Background: Portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT) is a major risk factor of recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after hepatectomy. Whether postoperative adjuvant immunotherapy and molecular targeted therapy (I-O and MTT) is effective in reducing the risk of recurrence of HCC with minimal portal invasion after hepatectomy and improving prognosis is unknown.
Methods: We collected the data of HCC with Vp1 or Vp2 PVTT patients who underwent hepatectomy at our center between January 2019 and June 2022 from the hospital database.
Antiferromagnets (AFMs) are ideal materials to boost neuromorphic computing toward the ultrahigh speed and ultracompact integration regime. However, developing a suitable AFM neuromorphic memory remains an aspirational but challenging goal. In this work, we construct such a memory based on the CoO/Pt heterostructure, in which the collinear insulating AFM CoO shows a strong perpendicular anisotropy facilitating its electrical readout and writing.

However, existing detection algorithms still face challenges such as low detection accuracy in dense scenes and issues with occlusion of dense targets. To address these two challenges, we propose an Global Remote Feature Modulation End-to-End (GRFME2E) detection algorithm.

Here, the resistant Echinochloa crus-galli (RL5) was obtained by continuous treatment with metamifop for five generations in paddy fields.

However, little is known about the additional effects of particulate matter on brainstem function in allergic rhinitis (AR). Furthermore, it is unknown to what extent the PM-induced effects in the brainstem affect the inflammatory response in AR.

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the unconventional dual-site mechanism (UDSM) of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) on NiOOH (001) and (001̄) exhibits significantly lower overpotentials of 0.80 and 0.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFWe discover that quantum dynamical tunneling, occurring between phase space regions in a classically forbidden way, can break conserved quantities. We rigorously prove that a conserved quantity in a class of typical pseudointegrable systems can be broken quantum mechanically. We then numerically compute the uncertainties of this broken conserved quantity, which remain nonzero for up to 10^{5} eigenstates and exhibit universal distributions similar to energy level statistics.
