Background: Due to SARS-CoV‑2 respiratory failure, prone positioning of patients with respiratory and hemodynamic instability has become a frequent intervention in intensive care units (ICUs), and even in patients undergoing transfer in an ambulance or helicopter. It has become increasingly important how to perform safe and effective CPR in prone position, achieving both an optimal outcome for the patient and optimal protection of staff from infection.
Materials And Methods: We conducted feasibility tests to assess the effects of CPR with an automatic load-distributing band (AutoPulse™) in prone position and discussed different aspects of mechanical chest compression (mCPR) in prone position.
Results: In supine position, AutoPulse™ generated a constant pressure depth of 3cm at a frequency of 84/min. In prone position, AutoPulse™ generated a constant pressure depth of 2.6cm at a frequency of 84/min.
Conclusion: We found mCPR to be feasible in manikins in both prone and supine positions.

Background: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) could be performed in both prone and supine positions. Each position has its own advantages and disadvantages. "Learning curve" is a graph that represents progress of a skill against the time needed to master the technique.

Caving mining in extra-thick coal seams induces large-scale overburden movement, leading to more intense fracture processes in key strata, more significant surface subsidence, and frequent dynamic disasters in mines. This study, using the N34-2 caving face of the 17th coal seam at Junde Mine as a case study, aims to investigate the time-varying linkage mechanism between surface subsidence, microseismic characteristics, and fracture scales of the overburden's key strata under such mining conditions. Based on Timoshenko's theory, a bearing fracture mode for the overburden's key strata is proposed, and corresponding fracture criteria are established.

Background: Vertebral body defects pose a significant challenge in spinal reconstructive surgery. Compression fractures of the vertebral corpus are typically treated with vertebral augmentation procedures. There are significant risks associated with the introduction of foreign material in the spine, including infection and pseudarthrosis.
