The intra-articular fracture of radius has been an enigma for orthopaedic surgeons since time immemorial. It is a dilemma as to when to use the fixator, when to mobilise after fixator or simply treat it by conservative means. Numerous fixators are in vogue depending on the preference of the surgeon--in the present prospective study the results of dynamic external fixator--which, based on the principle of ligamentotaxis, were evaluated over a 3-year period and the results showed that although excellent radiological results were seen in 90% of the cases yet only 75% of the cases had a excellent functional result.

A biomechanical environment constructed exploiting the mechanical property of the extracellular matrix and external loading is essential for cell behaviour. Building suitable mechanical stimuli using feasible scaffold material and moderate mechanical loading is critical in bone tissue engineering for bone repair. However, the detailed mechanism of the mechanical regulation remains ambiguous.

The incidence of gastroesophageal cancers is rising, driven, in part, by an increasing burden of risk factors of obesity and gastroesophageal reflux. Despite efforts to address these risk factors, and a growing interest in methods of population screening, the bulk of these tumours are unresectable at diagnosis. In this setting, effective systemic treatments are paramount to improve survival and quality of life.

Highly bright perovskite light-emitting diodes enabled by retarded Auger recombination.

Nat Commun

Department of Physics, Chemistry and Biology (IFM), Linköping University, Linköping, Sweden.

One of the key advantages of perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) is their potential to achieve high performance at much higher current densities compared to conventional solution-processed emitters. However, state-of-the-art PeLEDs have not yet reached this potential, often suffering from severe current-efficiency roll-off under intensive electrical excitations. Here, we demonstrate bright PeLEDs, with a peak radiance of 2409 W sr m and negligible current-efficiency roll-off, maintaining high external quantum efficiency over 20% even at current densities as high as 2270 mA cm.

ESCARGOT: An AI Agent Leveraging Large Language Models, Dynamic Graph of Thoughts, and Biomedical Knowledge Graphs for Enhanced Reasoning.

Department of Computational Biomedicine, Center for Artificial Intelligence Research and Education, Cedars Sinai Medical Center, 700 N. San Vicente Blvd., Pacific Design Center, Suite G-541H, West Hollywood, 90069, CA, USA.

Motivation: LLMs like GPT-4, despite their advancements, often produce hallucinations and struggle with integrating external knowledge effectively. While Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) attempts to address this by incorporating external information, it faces significant challenges such as context length limitations and imprecise vector similarity search. ESCARGOT aims to overcome these issues by combining LLMs with a dynamic Graph of Thoughts and biomedical knowledge graphs, improving output reliability and reducing hallucinations.
