Gauze counting is regarded as the most essential way to prevent forgotten gauze inside the body during any surgery. However, incident may still occur due to artificial mistake. An open fan sign on ultrasonography may indicate a gauze left in the intrauterine cavity.

Drug abuse can cause severe damage to the human speech organs. The vocal folds are one of the important speech organs that produce voice through vibration when airflow passes through. Previous studies have reported the negative effects of drugs on speech organs, including the vocal folds, but there is still limited research on relevant field.

Small organic molecules are essential building blocks of our universe, from cosmic dust to planetary surfaces to life. Compared to their well-known gaseous and liquid forms that have been extensively studied, small organic molecules in the form of ice at low temperatures receive much less attention. Here, we show that supercooled small-molecule droplets can be drawn into highly uniform amorphous ice microfibers with lengths up to 5 cm and diameters down to 200 nm.

By the end of 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting from the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), had diffused widely across the globe, with 770 million infected individuals and over 7 million deaths reported. In addition to its high infectivity and pathogenicity and its rapid mutation rate, the unique capacity of SARS-CoV-2 to circumvent the immune system has also contributed to the widespread nature of this pandemic. SARS-CoV-2 elicits the onset of innate immune system activation and initiates antiviral responses once it has infected the host.

Antibiotics threaten scleractinian corals, but their accumulation patterns and physiological effects on corals in natural reefs remain unclear. This study investigated antibiotic occurrence in seawater and two coral species, Galaxea fascicularis and Pocillopora damicornis, and explored the physiological effects of bioaccumulated antibiotics in a fringing reef of the South China Sea. Nineteen antibiotic components were detected in seawater, with total antibiotic concentrations (ΣABs) ranging from 17.
