The recent discovery of superconductivity in infinite-layer nickelates generates tremendous research endeavors, but the ground state of their parent compounds is still under debate. Here, we report experimental evidence for the dominant role of Kondo scattering in the underdoped NdSrNiO thin films. A resistivity minimum associated with logarithmic temperature dependence in both longitudinal and Hall resistivities are observed in the underdoped NdSrNiO samples before the superconducting transition.

Background: The choice of treatment for scapular fractures is a topic worth discussing. The type of scapular fracture is often complex, and more and more scholars prefer surgical treatment to obtain better shoulder joint function. In addition, because of the rich blood supply and muscles of the scapula, some scholars believe that simple suspension can also achieve satisfactory clinical effects.

Objective: To explore the risk factors of limb fracture complicated with pleural effusion, and to provide reference for the prevention of pleural effusion.

Methods: From January 2010 to December 2019, 137 patients with multiple limb fractures were treated surgically, including 102 males and 35 females, aged 16 to 92(48.34±15.

Background: Volar locking plating remains a popular method for the surgical management of distal radius fractures. Dorsal metaphyseal comminution (DMC) is a common fracture pattern which weakens the stability during fracture fixation. In this study, we aimed to compare the radiographic and functional outcome of the intra- and extra-articular distal radius fractures with DMC following single volar locking plate fixation.

Background: The timely and accurate diagnosis of infected nonunion is challenging, and there is a need for more efficient biomarkers. Previous studies have shown that fibrinogen plays an important role in mediating inflammation in bacterial infections and, therefore, could be a valuable biomarker for infected nonunion. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the performance of plasma fibrinogen and other traditional blood markers for the diagnosis of infected nonunion.
