A quasisteady reversed shear plasma with a large bootstrap current fraction ( approximately 80%) has been obtained for the first time in the JT-60U tokamak. The shrinkage of reversed shear region was suppressed by the bootstrap current peaked at the internal transport barrier (ITB) layer and the ITBs at a large radius were sustained, which, by combination with an H-mode edge pedestal, resulted in a high confinement or 2.2 times the H-mode scaling for 6 times energy confinement time or 2.7 s. Furthermore, a full noninductive current drive was obtained by the bootstrap current and the beam driven current.

Objective Endometrial lesions are a frequent complication following breast cancer, and current diagnostic tools have limitations. This study aims to develop a machine learning-based nomogram model for predicting the early detection of endometrial lesions in patients. The model is designed to assess risk and facilitate individualized treatment strategies for premenopausal breast cancer patients.

Prescription-event monitoring (PEM) is the current gold standard for determining the risk of rare drug side-effects and comparing the risk between agents; however, spontaneous or prompted reporting schemes have low case-detection rates and exposure may be difficult to estimate. A novel method is described that allows a comparative adverse event rate between two drugs to be estimated-based on patterns of cross-reactivity-requiring only a sample of cases and no direct knowledge of drug exposure rates. Agreement was compared between the novel method and historical estimates of risk using PEM for comparative risk of rocuronium versus vecuronium anaphylaxis.

Background: Currently, antimicrobial agents are widely used in both animals and agriculture, causing the crisis of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria. In this study we surveyed for 4 important antimicrobial-resistant bacteria: extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Salmonella spp., and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) from the environment around chicken and pig farms.

Currently applicable models for predicting live birth outcomes in patients who received assisted reproductive technology (ART) have methodological or study design limitations that greatly obstruct their dissemination and application. Models suitable for Chinese couples have not yet been identified. We conducted a retrospective study by using a database includes a total of 11,938 couples who underwent in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment between January 2015 and December 2022 in a medical institution of southwest China Yunnan province.
