Objective: To assess uterine artery Doppler waveforms and notches performed in the third trimester as a predictor of adverse outcomes.
Methods: Of 490 preeclampsia (PE) patients between 24 and 34 weeks gestation, 166 were diagnosed with mild PE and 324 were diagnosed with severe PE. Patients were divided into four groups (no notch, a unilateral notch, bilateral notches and double notches).
Results: Bilateral and double notches were predictive of shorter follow-up times, adverse laboratory outcomes, HELLP syndrome, prematurity, neonatal intensive care unit admission and perinatal mortality.
Conclusion: Double notches represent progressive deterioration in the uterine artery and are predictive of adverse maternal outcomes.

Four-dimensional anatomical spinal reconstruction using pre-bent rods in thoracic adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
Sci Rep
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Hokkaido University Hospital, N15W7, Sapporo, Hokkaido, 060-8638, Japan.
A four-dimensional (4D) anatomical spinal reconstruction (ASR) technique and anatomical notch-free, pre-bent rods have been developed for thoracic adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) surgery. We aimed to evaluate the outcomes of ASR using notch-free rods through multiple comparisons with conventional methods, including the simultaneous double-rod rotation technique (SDRRT) and ASR using manually bent notched rods. Three consecutive series of 126 patients who underwent surgery for Lenke 1 AIS curves were prospectively followed up for 2 years after surgery.

Identification of gastric cancer stem cells with CD44 and Lgr5 double labelling and their initial roles on gastric cancer malignancy and chemotherapy resistance.

Accumulating evidences have indicated that cancer stem cells (CSCs) can initiate tumor progression and cause recurrence after therapy. However, specific markers of gastric CSCs (GCSCs) from different origins have not been comprehensively revealed. Here, we further detected whether cell populations labelled with CD44 and Lgr5, well-recognized stem markers for gastric cancer (GC), can better emphasize cancer initiation, therapeutic resistance and recurrence.

Article Synopsis
- * Findings show that increased surface hydroxyl content enhances carbon dioxide (CO) adsorption affinity, with the wettability type significantly impacting CO displacement behavior and oil recovery efficiency.
- * The research concludes that oil-wet pores reduce CO-EOR efficiency, while certain pore structures can influence displacement speed, emphasizing the need to optimize wettability to improve recovery processes.
Low-Velocity Impact Analysis in Composite Plates Incorporating Experimental Interlaminar Fracture Toughness.
Materials (Basel)
November 2024
Research Institute for Aerospace Engineering and Technology, Korea Aerospace University, Goyang-si 10540, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea.
Reliable performance of composite adhesive joints under low-velocity impact is essential for ensuring the structural durability of composite materials in demanding applications. To address this, the study examines the effects of temperature, surface treatment techniques, and bonding processes on interlaminar fracture toughness, aiming to identify optimal conditions that enhance impact resistance. A Taguchi experimental design and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to analyze these factors, and experimentally derived toughness values were applied to low-velocity impact simulations to assess delamination behavior.
