The aim of this study was to analyze the characteristics of time-velocity curve acquired by phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (PC-MRI) using an in-vitro flow model as a reference for hemodynamic studies. The time- velocity curves of the PC-MRI were compared with Doppler ultrasonography (US) and also compared with those obtained in the electromagnetic flowmeter. The correlation between techniques was analyzed using an electromagnetic flowmeter as a reference standard; the maximum, minimum, and average velocities, full-width at half-maximum (FWHM), and ascending gradient (AG) were measured from time-velocity curves. The correlations between an electromagnetic flowmeter and the respective measurement technique for the PC-MRI and Doppler US were found to be high (mean > 0.9, < 0.05). These results indicate that these measurement techniques are useful for measuring blood flow information and reflect actual flow. The PC-MRI was the best fit for the minimum velocity and FWHM, and the maximum velocity and AG were the best fit for Doppler US. The PC-MRI showed lower maximum velocity value and higher minimum velocity value than Doppler US. Therefore, PC-MRI demonstrates more obtuse time-velocity curve than Doppler US. In addition, the time- velocity curve of PC-MRI could be calibrated by introducing formulae that can convert each measurement value to a reference standard value within a 10% error. The PC-MRI can be used to estimate the Doppler US using this formula.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the common and fatal malignant tumors worldwide, and the burden of HCC is particularly severe in China. Physiologically, the blood supply to healthy liver is mainly from the portal vein, supplemented by the hepatic artery. While in the development of HCC, the main source of blood supply to HCC is changed from the portal vein to the hepatic artery.

Purpose: Hand-sewn anastomosis as the gold standard of vascular anastomosis cannot fully meet the requirements of vascular anastomosis in speed and quality. Various vascular couplers have been developed to ameliorate this situation. Most of them are mainly used for venous anastomosis rather than arterial anastomosis, even though it is generally acknowledged that in almost all operations involving vascular reconstruction, it is the arteries that need to be anastomosed faster and more accurately and not the veins.

Impedance pneumography (IP) has provided static assessments of subjects' breathing patterns in previous studies. Evaluating the feasibility and limitation of ambulatory IP based respiratory monitoring needs further investigation on clinically relevant exercise designs. The aim of this study was to evaluate the capacity of an advanced IP in ambulatory respiratory monitoring, and its predictive value in independent ventilatory capacity quantification during cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET).

Flow sensing exhibits significant potential for monitoring, controlling, and optimizing processes in industries, resource management, and environmental protection. However, achieving wireless real-time and omnidirectional sensing of gas/liquid flow on a simple, self-contained device without external power support has remained a formidable challenge. In this study, a compact-sized, fully self-powered wireless sensing flowmeter (CSWF) is introduced with a small size diameter of down to less than 50 mm, which can transmit real-time and omnidirectional wireless signals, as driven by a rotating triboelectric nanogenerator (R-TENG).
