Aim: To investigate changes of VEC and CEC under acute hypoxia.
Methods: Observe CEC in blood under acute hypoxia morphologically and count the number of CEC by optical microscope, measure LDH activity of young CEC and VEC by histochemical staining image analysis.
Results: LDH activities of VEC in hypoxic groups are lower than that in the group before hypoxia and decrease progressively with hypoxia time. LDH activities of young CEC in groups after hypoxia and before hypoxia are the same and are apparently lower than that of VEC. Before hypoxia most of CEC are aging, the number of CEC from hypoxic groups is greater than that before hypoxia and increases progressively with hypoxia time and most of CEC from hypoxic groups are young.
Conclusion: The morphology and number of CEC may reflect the extent to which the vascular is injured. LDH activity of VEC may reflect the transformation from VEC into CEC. LDH activity of young CEC may reflect the extent to which the VEC is injured when falling from vascular wall.

Objective: Cauda Equina Syndrome (CES) poses significant neurological risks if untreated. Diagnosis relies on clinical and radiological features. As the symptoms are often non specific and common, the diagnosis is usually made after a MRI scan.

Background: Studies have described a first pass effect (FPE) where patients with successful recanalization after one pass experience better outcomes. Few studies have evaluated this in patients with large core infarctions.
Objective: To determine whether patients with large core infarcts undergoing mechanical thrombectomy in which first pass reperfusion is achieved experience improved outcomes compared with those who undergo more than one pass.

Chimp optimization algorithm (CHOA) is a recently developed nature-inspired technique that mimics the swarm intelligence of chimpanzee colonies. However, the original CHOA suffers from slow convergence and a tendency to reach local optima when dealing with multidimensional problems. To address these limitations, we propose TASR-CHOA, a twofold adaptive stochastic reinforced variant.

It is common practice for clinicians to conduct advanced imaging procedures, such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) when a patient presents with LBP. The objective of this study was to measure and analyze the width of the ligamentum flavum (LF) on each side and the extent of degeneration of the disc at the L3-4, L4-5, and L5-S1 levels.

Water scarcity is a growing challenge in semi-arid regions. Many farmers have resorted to treated wastewater (TWW) as an available and low-cost water source. This study investigated the impact of irrigating potato (Solanum Tuberosum) and corn (Zea mays) with tertiary-treated (TW) and secondary-treated (SW) wastewater compared to freshwater, over two years.
