Using the quantum theory of atoms in molecules a near complete combined directed spanning quantum topology phase diagram (QTPD) was constructed from the nine (H O) reaction-pathways and five unique Poincaré-Hopf solutions that were found after an extensive search of the MP2 potential energy surface. Two new energy minima that were predicted from earlier work are found and include the first (H O) conformer with a 3-D quantum topology. The stress tensor Poincaré-Hopf relation indicated a preference for 2-D (H O) topologies as well as the presence of coupling between shared-shell OH BCPs to the hydrogen-bond BCPs that share an H NCP. The complexity of the near complete combined QTPD was explained in terms of the O…O bonding interactions that were found in six of the nine (H O) reaction-pathways and for all points of the combined QTPD. The stabilizing role of the O…O bonding interactions from the values of the total local energy density was explored. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Purpose: Gap-balanced total knee arthroplasty (TKA) technique relies on initial ligament evaluation, particularly in patient-specific implantation using computer-assisted technologies. This cadaveric study aimed to compare the reproducibility and reliability of medial and lateral gap measurements between manual stress testing and dynamic ligament balancer.

Methods: Initial gap acquisitions were assessed from eight cadaveric knees (four specimens) during the same navigated TKA procedure by five differently skilled surgeons (three seniors and two juniors).

Physical exercise is a promising intervention to improve brain white matter integrity. In the PAM study, exercise intervention effects on white matter integrity were investigated in breast cancer patients. Chemotherapy-treated breast cancer patients with cognitive problems were randomized 2-4 years post-diagnosis to an exercise (n = 91) or control group (n = 90).

Effects of the Quantum Vacuum at a Cosmic Scale and of Dark Energy.

The Einstein equation in a semiclassical approximation is applied to a spherical region of the universe, with the stress-energy tensor consisting of the mass density and pressure of the ΛCDM cosmological model plus an additional contribution due to the quantum vacuum. Expanding the equation in powers of Newton constant G, the vacuum contributes to second order. The result is that at least a part of the acceleration in the expansion of the universe may be due to the quantum vacuum fluctuations.

Background: When patients with a failed hip arthroplasty are unsuitable for reimplantation, Girdlestone resection arthroplasty (GRA) is a viable treatment option. We report on a patient who was treated with a GRA due to a periprosthetic infection. We discovered partial paralysis of the quadriceps muscle in this patient.

Accumulating studies have highlighted the links between stress-related networks and the HPA axis for emotion regulation and proved the mapping associations between altered structural and functional networks (called SC-FC coupling) in depression. However, the signatures of SC-FC coupling in subthreshold depression (StD) individuals and their relationships with HPA axis reactivity, as well as the predictive power of these combinations for discriminating StD, remain unclear. This cross-sectional study enrolled 160 adults, including 117 StD and 43 healthy controls (HC).
