Background: Cardiac output (CO) monitoring is essential for diagnosing and managing critically ill patients. Recently, a non-invasive haemodynamic monitoring technique, electrical cardiometry (EC), has gathered increasing interest among ICU physicians. This study aimed to explore the accuracy of CO estimated by non-invasive EC (CO) compared to CO determined by transpulmonary thermodilution (CO) and to evaluate the ability of CO to track CO changes (ΔCO).

Background: Career success is crucial for both individuals and organizations. Even though career success is considered an individual result, it depends on the organization's success and can contribute to its success. This study uses proactive personality and needs-supplies fit as independent variables to explore the potential relationship between proactive personality and needs-supplies fit and the career success of pediatric healthcare workers.

It is now understood that iron crosses the blood-brain barrier a complex metabolic regulatory network and participates in diverse critical biological processes within the central nervous system, including oxygen transport, energy metabolism, and the synthesis and catabolism of myelin and neurotransmitters. During brain development, iron is distributed throughout the brain, playing a pivotal role in key processes such as neuronal development, myelination, and neurotransmitter synthesis. In physiological aging, iron can selectively accumulate in specific brain regions, impacting cognitive function and leading to intracellular redox imbalance, mitochondrial dysfunction, and lipid peroxidation, thereby accelerating aging and associated pathologies.

The shared HLA-bound neoepitopes in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) represent a novel class of non-canonical antigens with single amino acid substitutions, resulting from translational errors. These peptides, shared across PDAC patients, showed higher immunogenicity than wild-type counterparts, offering potential candidates for specific immunotherapy development in PDAC.

Background: This study aims to introduce the concept of habitat subregions and construct an accurate prediction model by analyzing refined medical images, to predict lymph node metastasis (LNM) in patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) before surgery, and to provide personalized support for clinical decision-making.

Methods: Clinical, radiological, and pathological data from ICC patients were retrospectively collected. Using information from the arterial and venous phases of multisequence CT images, tumor habitat subregions were delineated through the K-means clustering algorithm.

Objective: Sticky bone, a composite of porcine-derived xenograft bone material and serum components obtained from autologous blood centrifugation, was implanted into the anterior mandibular alveolar bone during periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics (PAOO) in a patient with skeletal Class III malocclusion. The augmentation and stability of the alveolar bone in the grafted area were evaluated over a one-year follow-up period.

Methods: A patient with skeletal Class III malocclusion underwent PAOO surgery as part of presurgical orthodontic treatment.

This study aims to investigate the mediating role of positive coping in the relationship between physical activity and psychological distress (PD) among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in Henan, China, and to explore the moderating factor regarding this relationship. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 517 PLWHA, recruited from four cities in Henan province. Path analysis was employed to examine the mediating effect of positive coping in the link between physical activity and PD.

High-dimensional multiplexed imaging can reveal the spatial organization of tumour tissues at the molecular level. However, owing to the scale and information complexity of the imaging data, it is challenging to discover and thoroughly characterize the heterogeneity of tumour microenvironments. Here we show that self-supervised representation learning on data from imaging mass cytometry can be leveraged to distinguish morphological differences in tumour microenvironments and to precisely characterize distinct microenvironment signatures.

The hydrophilic spindle-knot microfiber serves as a valuable tool for water collection to combat freshwater scarcity. However, balancing microfiber's water collection efficiency and reusability remains a challenge. To address this contradiction, a microfluidic approach utilizing enzyme-mediated, in situ biomineralization is developed to produce biomineralized rough spindle-knot calcium alginate microfibers (BSMs).

Critical-size bone defects (CSDs), which are those that do not self-repair in a given period, are essential for evaluating bone-regeneration strategies. We established CSDs models in the rabbit cranium and ulna, and the bone-regeneration capacities of porous calcium phosphate (CaP) ceramics were assessed. A 12.

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a fatal disease characterized by pulmonary vascular remodeling, whose regulatory mechanisms remain unclear. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a unique class of RNA molecules produced by covalent linkages via back-splicing of linear RNA and play vital roles in regulating physiological and pathological processes. However, the dysregulation of circRNAs and their underlying mechanisms in PH remain unclear.

The advance of environmental DNA (eDNA) has enabled rapid and non-invasive species detection in aquatic environments. While most studies focus on species detection, recent works explored using eDNA concentration to quantify species abundance. However, the differential individual DNA contribution to eDNA samples could easily obscure the eDNA concentration-species abundance relationship.

Ticagrelor has become the standard drug for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms (IAs) with flow diverters (FDs), but the dosage has not been standardized. The effect of platelet function on clinical and imaging prognosis remains unclear. This study aimed to show the effects of different doses of ticagrelor and platelet aggregation function on the clinical and imaging prognosis after FDs treatment of aneurysms.

Regulatory T cells (Tregs) have been shown to be involved in the induction of transplantation tolerance in numerous models. Our previous work demonstrated that methyltransferase-like 14 (METTL14) loss impaired Treg function and hindered the establishment of transplantation tolerance. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.
