In this study, we demonstrate that fluroquinolone (FQ) is at risk of acquired drug resistance after continuous exposure. The reduced susceptibility is observed in subsequent Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from patients without FQ exposure. The stepwise selection of mutation of increasing FQ resistance highlights the urgent need for monitoring FQ resistance in multidrug-resistant tuberculosis patients throughout the entire treatment course.

To establish a multivariate linear regression model for predicting the difficulty of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation of uterine fibroids based on multi-sequence magnetic resonance imaging radiomics features. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 218 patients with uterine fibroids who underwent HIFU treatment, including 178 cases from Yongchuan Hospital of Chongqing Medical University and 40 cases from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University (external validation set). Radiomics features were extracted and selected from magnetic resonance images, and potentially related imaging features were collected.

The Bohai oilfield is characterized by severe heterogeneity and high average permeability, leading to a low water flooding recovery efficiency. Polymer flooding only works for a certain heterogeneous reservoir. Therefore, supplementary technologies for further enlarging the swept volume are still necessary.

This study aimed to determine the proportion and associated factors of neonatal near misses among newborns delivered at public hospitals in the East Gojjam zone of Northwest Ethiopia. A facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted from April 21 to June 20, 2023, among 560 newborns and their mothers in randomly selected five public hospitals.

The sensitive detection of NO2 is crucial for environmental monitoring and improving quality of life. Herein, a ZnO@MoO3 core-shell nanocomposite was fabricated via a simple stepwise solution self-assembly and heat-treatment process. Remarkably, the ZnO@MoO3 sensor exhibited a high response value of 5.
