Objective: To explore the application of three dimensional(3D) CT reconstruction(3D-CT-R) in spinal stenosis and injury of the bone and joint.
Methods: Forty cases were examined with the X-ray film, CT scan and 3D-CT-R. To evaluate their diagnostic value, the images of the three methods were compared.
Results: X-ray films could show a visible shift of fracture pieces, but we were sometimes incapable of diagnosing fractures accurately from X-ray and, therefore, we couldn't diagnose fractures located at a special position; the CT scan could show the fractured place with a better result, but it required that doctors should have enough clinic experience, and should be familiar with local anatomy to avoid possible misdiagnosis.
Conclusion: 3D-CT-R could be used in formulating a particular treatment scheme, and is an ideal examination method.

Circularity in polydiketoenamine thermoplastics via control over reactive chain conformation.
Sci Adv

Controlling the reactivity of bonds along polymer chains enables both functionalization and deconstruction with relevance to chemical recycling and circularity. Because the substrate is a macromolecule, however, understanding the effects of chain conformation on the reactivity of polymer bonds emerges as important yet underexplored. Here, we show how oxy-functionalization of chemically recyclable condensation polymers affects acidolysis to monomers through control over distortion and interaction energies in the rate-limiting transition states.

Objective: To analyze the effect of the thoracoabdominal rebalancing (TAR) method on respiratory biomechanics, respiratory discomfort, pain sensation, and physiological parameters in moderate preterm newborns, compared to a control group.
Methods: This randomized clinical trial was conducted in a neonatal intensive care unit. The evaluation included: Neonatal Infant Pain Scale, physiological parameters, Silverman-Andersen score, and biomechanics (thoracic cirtometry and Charpy angle).
AI enabled, mobile soil pH classification with colorimetric paper sensors for sustainable agriculture.
PLoS One

IBM Research, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
For optimizing production yield while limiting negative environmental impact, sustainable agriculture benefits from real-time, on-the-spot chemical analysis of soil at low cost. Colorimetric paper sensors are ideal candidates, however, their automated readout and analysis in the field is needed. Using mobile technology for paper sensor readout could, in principle, enable the application of machine-learning models for transforming colorimetric data into threshold-based classes that represent chemical concentration.

Department of Kinesiology and Sport Sciences, University of Miami, Coral Gables, FL, United States of America.
The KinaTrax markerless motion capture system, used extensively in the analysis of baseball pitching and hitting, is currently being adapted for use in clinical biomechanics. In clinical and laboratory environments, repeatability is inherent to the quality of any diagnostic tool. The KinaTrax system was assessed on within- and between-session reliability for gait kinematic and spatiotemporal parameters in healthy adults.

The Weibull distribution is an important continuous distribution that is cardinal in reliability analysis and lifetime modeling. On the other hand, it has several limitations for practical applications, such as modeling lifetime scenarios with non-monotonic failure rates. However, accurate modeling of non-monotonic failure rates is essential for achieving more accurate predictions, better risk management, and informed decision-making in various domains where reliability and longevity are critical factors.
