Morbidity and mortality is high in patients with gunshot wounds to the chest. Only in rare cases do foreign bodies persist in the thorax without significant pathology. At this study, we present a case in which steel shot was removed through the mediastinum using mediastinoscopy due to the risk of tracheal fistula.

The microstructure, hardness, residual stress, and friction and wear properties of 25CrNi2MoV steel with different particle diameters during shot peening strengthening were studied. Studies have shown that a grain refinement layer appeared on the surface of the material after shot peening. The shot peening intensity increased with increasing particle diameter; a greater shot peening intensity corresponded to a greater surface hardness of the material, the maximum hardness was 592 HV0.

Due to increasing mobility and energy conservation needs, improving bus and coach safety without adding weight is essential. Many crashes with fatal outcomes for vehicle occupants are associated with the rollover of the vehicle, revealing the structural weakness of the steel pillars between windows, which must resist high levels of bending during rollovers. This study aims to reinforce these pillars with expired carbon fiber prepreg from the aircraft industry, improving safety and reducing environmental waste.

Despite the importance of T-weighted image in clinical practice, artifacts can significantly degrade image quality and affect diagnosis. This study quantitatively analyzed uterine displacement and surveyed the relationship between the image quality of fast-spin-echo-T-weighted image of the female pelvis and quantitative value of uterine displacement. Overall, 147 women (mean age, 46.

Quality control processes with automation ensure that customers receive defect-free products that meet their needs. However, the performance of real-world surface defect detection is often severely hindered by the scarcity of data. Recently, few-shot learning has been widely proposed as a solution to the data sufficiency problem by leveraging a limited number of base class samples.

Surface nanoengineering can significantly improve the mechanical properties and performance of metals, such as strength, hardness, fatigue, wear resistance, . In this work, we tailored the surface microstructure of GCr15 bearing steel within a thickness of approximately 800 μm using room temperature ultrasonic shot peening (USP) technology. Microstructure characterization studies reveal the formation of gradient nanosized spheroidal carbides and lath-shaped nano-martensite in the GCr15 bearing steel during the USP process.
