The existence of secondary flows in the pressure-driven flow of a concentrated suspension of noncolloidal particles through a conduit of square cross section under creeping flow conditions is confirmed experimentally. This Letter lends support to the idea that secondary currents, rather than shear-induced migration, may actually be the dominant mechanism that determines particle distribution in noncolloidal suspension flows through nonaxisymmetric geometries. This work also establishes that coextrusion of two concentrated suspensions through nonaxisymmetric geometries with a stable suspension-suspension interface is not possible, except in special situations.

Effectiveness of high intensity laser treatment in partial supraspinatus tendon tears: a randomised controlled trial.
Lasers Med Sci
January 2025
Ankara Bilkent City Hospital Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Hospital, Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Ankara, Türkiye.
The most common cause of rotator cuff injury is supraspinatus tendon tears (STTs). High-intensity laser therapy (HILT) has recently emerged as an important conservative treatment option. This study was designed as a randomised controlled trial in patients with partial STTs to compare the effects of HILT with those of ultrasound (US) therapy.

Background: Unbound bilirubin (UB) was measured on day 5 ± 1 in 1101 ELBW newborns in the Aggressive vs Conservative Phototherapy randomized controlled trial. We accessed this dataset to quantify the UB-mediated risk of severe neurodevelopmental impairment (sNDI) in extremely low birthweight (ELBW) newborns.
Methods: UB levels were standardized within laboratories as z-score percentiles.

Background: The best pharmacological treatment practices for relapse prevention in patients with first-episode schizophrenia are unclear. We aimed to assess different treatment strategies used before and after the first relapse, and their associations with subsequent relapse risk.
Methods: In this population-based cohort study, we enrolled individuals (aged ≤45 years) with first-episode schizophrenia who were hospitalised and subsequently relapsed between 1996 and 2014 from the nationwide Finnish Hospital Discharge Register.
Pharmacological preventions and treatments for pericardial complications after open heart surgeries.
Heart

Division of Respirology, Department of Medicine, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Background: Pericardial complications following cardiac surgery are common and debilitating, significantly impacting patients' survival. We performed this network meta-analysis to identify the most effective and safest preventions and treatments for pericardial complications following cardiac surgery.
Methods: We systematically searched PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane CENTRAL from inception to 22 January 2024.
