The term "gossypiboma" or "textiloma" is used to describe a mass of retained cotton matrix and the surrounding inflammatory response inside a body cavity following surgical intervention. The precise incidence of this phenomenon is uncertain, as cases are frequently underreported due to concerns related to medical malpractice. This rare complication poses a diagnostic dilemma due to the non-specific clinical and radiological features, which can result in significant morbidity and mortality.

This study quantitatively assesses the resilience of the urban transport system in Changchun under extreme climatic conditions, focusing on the impacts of natural disasters such as snowstorms, strong winds and extreme low temperatures on the transport system. The vulnerability, exposure, and emergency recovery capacity of the transport system in Changchun were analyzed by constructing a comprehensive assessment framework combining multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDM) and geographic information system (GIS). Based on the meteorological and traffic data of Changchun City in the past 10 years, key indicators such as traffic network density, emergency resource distribution, traffic flow, and extreme weather frequency were selected in this study.

This study examines the crack resistance of basalt-fiber-reinforced concrete (BFRC) materials subjected to freeze-thaw cycles (FTCs). We utilized a φ50 mm Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) apparatus alongside numerical simulations to carry out impact compression tests at a velocity of 5 m/s on BFRC specimens that experienced 0, 10, 20, and 30 FTCs. Additionally, we investigated the effects of basalt fiber (BF) orientation position and length on stress intensity factors.

Introduction: The coexistence of gallbladder (LSG) and adenomyomatosis (ADM) is extremely uncommon presenting a novel clinical dilemma that has not been previously documented. LSG refers to a anomaly where the gallbladder is situated to the left of the round ligament deviating from its usual position. This anomaly is rare, with reported occurrences ranging between 0.

One of the leading challenges in Water Resource Recovery Facility monitoring and control is the poor data quality and sensor consistency due to the tough and complex circumstances of the process operation. This paper presents a new principal component analysis fault detection approach for the nitrate and nitrite concentration sensor based on Water Resource Recovery Facility measurements, together with the Fisher Discriminant Analysis identification of fault types. Five malfunction cases were considered: constant additive error, ramp changing error in time, incorrect amplification error, random additive error, and unchanging sensor value error.
