A recently introduced material for dental restorations, Zirconia reinforced Lithium Silicate (ZLS), is examined for its properties, in order to be used as a personal accidental thermoluminescence dosimeter. For this purpose, its main thermoluminescence characteristics are studied, such as its sensitivity, signal reproducibility, fading, dose response and lower detectable dose limit. Furthermore, the material is characterized by means of microscopic, spectroscopic and crystallographic techniques. The results propose that ZLS is promising to be used as a personal accidental thermoluminescence dosimeter for post-irradiation detection, with single aliquot protocols.

Department of Nursing, Nanfang Hosptial of Southern Medical University, Guangzhou, 510515, People's Republic of China.
Purpose: Our study aim was to understand the (human and organizational) factors influencing fall risk among people with hematological malignancies using the Reason model as a framework, providing insights that can inform the development of safe and effective fall management strategies.
Methods: Purposive sampling was employed to conduct semi-structured interviews with 13 people with hematological malignancies and 12 nurses from the hematology department of a tertiary grade A hospital in Guangzhou from December 2023 to February 2024. The topic analysis method was utilized to analyze the interview data.
Objective: To evaluate the short-term clinical efficacy of external fixation and internal fixation with steel plate in the treatment of unstable distal radius fractures (AO-23C type), based on the principles of Chinese osteosynthesis (CO).
Methods: Forty-eight patients with unstable distal radius fractures between January 2022 and February 2023 were retrospectively analyzed and divided into the CO external fixation group and internal fixation group. CO external fixation group consisted of 25 patients, including 7 males and 18 females, aged from 37 to 56 years old with an average of ( 52.
A novel domain feature disentanglement method for multi-target cross-domain mechanical fault diagnosis.

Existing cross-domain mechanical fault diagnosis methods primarily achieve feature alignment by directly optimizing interdomain and category distances. However, this approach can be computationally expensive in multi-target scenarios or fail due to conflicting objectives, leading to decreased diagnostic performance. To avoid these issues, this paper introduces a novel method called domain feature disentanglement.

Cervical fracture dislocation often leads to neurological deficits, manifesting with sensory and motor symptoms, which may persist even after surgical intervention. We presented two cases with mild neurological deficits following such injuries. In Case 1, the patient presented with left-hand numbness 1 month after a car accident.

Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of delayed replantation of degloving skin preserved at 4℃ in treatment of limb degloving injuries.
Methods: Between October 2020 and October 2023, 12 patients with limb degloving injuries were admitted. All patients had severe associated injuries or poor wound conditions that prevented primary replantation.
