Article Synopsis
- The study looked at how the angle of the joint line convergence (JLCA) helps us understand the relationship between two angles related to the hips and knees, called aHKA and mHKA.
- They examined a total of 107 normal people and 246 patients with osteoarthritis using X-ray pictures of their legs.
- The results showed that the JLCA is important when predicting how a person's legs are aligned, especially for those with higher JLCA values.
Background: Few studies have reported the coronal constitutional alignment of the lower limbs in mainland China. This study aimed to analyse the distribution of the coronal plane alignment of the knee (CPAK) classification in the osteoarthritic (OA) and healthy Chinese populations.
Materials And Methods: The CPAK distributions of 246 patients (477 knees) with OA and 107 healthy individuals (214 knees) were retrospectively examined using long-leg radiographs.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the integrated liver inflammatory score (ILIS) in predicting survival for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after receiving transarterial chemoembolization.
- High ILIS, low lymphocyte count, and other factors were identified as significant predictors of poor prognosis.
- The results indicated that ILIS had better predictive performance for survival compared to other established scoring systems, supporting its use in patient evaluation pre-treatment.
Objectives: The purpose of the present study is to develop a predictive model for incomplete response (IR) after conventional transarterial chemoembolization (cTACE) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) based on hepatic angiographic and cross-sectional imaging.
Methods: Sixty patients with 139 target HCC lesions who underwent cTACE from February 2013 to March 2019 were included in this retrospective study. Hepatic angiographic features were identified: the number of feeding arteries, vascularity of the tumor, tumor staining on angiography, vascular lake phenomenon, and hepatic arterio-portal shunt.
A miniature steam ejector refrigeration system embedded with a capillary pump loop can result in a compact design which can be used for electronics cooling. In this paper, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is employed to investigate the effects of the area ratio of the ejector constant-area mixing section to the nozzle throat, the length of the constant-area section, and the nozzle exit position (NXP), on the performance of a miniature steam ejector. Results show that the performance of the miniature steam ejector is very sensitive to the area ratio of the constant-area mixing section to the nozzle.
