Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the femoral mechanical-anatomical (FMA) and mechanical femoro-tibial (MFT) angles in an osteoarthritic population using the 2D (two dimension) and the 3D (three dimension) EOS low-dose biplanar radiographic system (EOS).
Methods: FMA and MFT angles were calculated in 127 adults with osteoarthritis. In 2D, FMA angle was measured between the femoral mechanical axis and the femoral anatomical axis, and MFT angle between the femoral mechanical axis and the tibial mechanical axis. In 3D, the measurement of FMA angle consisted of identifying specific anatomical landmarks on X-rays. MFT angle was then measured between the femoral mechanical axis and the tibial mechanical axis. The distribution of 2D and 3D values was assessed in terms of means and variances.
Results: Mean age was 69 ± 12 years. A total of 10% of the patients having a 3D FMA angle between 4° and 7° have a 2D-measured FMA over or underestimated. Particularly, FMA values tend to be underestimated in women in 2D. Finally, we found that men showed a tendency to a more varus morphology, with MFT values being significantly underestimated in 2D.
Conclusions: The EOS 3D reconstruction system is a reliable method to measure FMA and MFT angles in an osteoarthritic population.

Optical metasurfaces have found widespread applications in the field of optoelectronic devices. However, achieving dynamic and flexible control over metasurface functionalities, while also developing simplified fabrication methods for metasurfaces, continues to pose a significant challenge. Here, the study introduces a PCM-only metasurface that exclusively consists of voxel units crafted from different phases of phase-change materials.

Lymph node metastasis significantly affects the NSCLC patients' staging, treatment strategy, and prognosis. Studies have shown that IGF2BP3, an oncofetal protein and an m6A reader, overexpresses and correlates to lymph node metastasis and worse overall survival in histopathological studies including NSCLC, but its mechanism needs further study. This study explored IGF2BP3's function and mechanism in LUAD lymphatic metastasis using public databases, a human LUAD tissue microarray, human LUAD cells, and a lymphatic metastasis model in male BALB/c nude mice.

Visceral organs in vertebrates are arranged with left-right asymmetry; for example, the heart is located on the left side of the body. Cilia at the node of mouse early embryos play an essential role in determining this left-right asymmetry. Using information from the anteroposterior axis, motile cilia at the central region of the node generate leftward nodal flow.

The development of an atmospheric pressure interface (API) with a high ion transfer efficiency and wide mass range is advantageous for the performance improvement of mass spectrometry (MS) instruments. In this work, a novel ion guide, namely, the double-helix electrode ion funnel (DHE-IF), has been developed to enhance the ion transmission over a wide mass range in the rough vacuum region. The DHE-IF consists of two funnel-shaped helix electrodes.

This study introduces a novel method for fabricating multicavity, honeycomb-shaped collagen aerogels characterized by continuous pores. We have taken a unique approach to lyophilizing collagen hydrogels, which are UV-irradiated collagen solutions gelatinized in a carbonate buffer solution. The focus of this study was to investigate the effect of UV irradiation times on collagen solutions on collagen hydrogels and aerogels.
