An oily contrast medium was injected into the hepatic artery in rabbits with implanted VX2 carcinoma in the liver. The contrast medium was initially detected in all of the branches of the injected artery, but 3 and 7 days after injection it was found only in the tumor tissue on plain radiographs. Taking advantage of this phenomenon, an oily contrast medium was injected into the hepatic artery in 5 patients with liver tumors. A plain radiograph of the abdomen after the injection presented a clearer picture of the tumor and detected smaller tumors, compared with a conventional selective celiac angiogram in 5 patients. It is concluded that an injection of oily contrast medium into a hepatic artery is a useful technique to detect liver tumor.

Introduction: To assess and compare the knowledge of ChatGPT and Google Gemini in answering public-based and scientific questions about peripheral artery disease (PAD).
Methods: Frequently asked questions (FAQs) about PAD were generated by evaluating posts on social media, and the latest edition of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guideline was evaluated and recommendations about PAD were translated into questions. All questions were prepared in English and were asked to ChatGPT 4 and Google Gemini (formerly Google Bard) applications.

Many swimmers, especially small- to medium-sized animals, use intermittent locomotion that differs from continuous swimming of large species. This type of locomotion, called burst and coast, is often associated with an energetic advantage. In this work, we investigate the intermittent locomotion inspired by fish locomotion but applied to a propeller.

Dust emissions from open-pit mining pose a significant threat to environmental safety and human health. Currently, the range of dust suppressants used in coal mining is limited, often failing to account for their suitability across various stockpiles. This oversight results in poor infiltration after application, leading to insufficient crust formation and reduced durability.
