The kinetics and dynamics of the stiff and flexible tines with the duckfoot and the coulter after impact with stones embedded in compacted soil were examined. The beak of the duckfoot was positioned in the axis of the row of stones embedded in the soil at the depth of stones thickness. The coulter covered the stone or impact the edge of the stone halfway along its length. The tools worked at a speed of 0.83-2.22 m·s and a working depth of 0.05-0.10 m. The results of specific parameters were compared to the response of the tools to loads in soil without stones. For both soil conditions, the kinetics of the flexible tine was 24 times more reactive, and the dynamic loads were two times lower than for the stiff tine. The responses of both tines were suppressed along with the working depth because of the more favorable place of impact of the duckfoot beak with the stone. Along with the working speed, for a stiff tine, the specific accelerations decreased significantly, by ten times, and the specific forces increased slightly, by 1.6 times. Among the two systems of setting the coulter, the impact of the cutting edge of the coulter with the stone in the middle of its length was more unfavorable than the work of the coulter covering the stone.

Purpose: Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is a staging procedure used to guide treatment for patients with breast cancer. Multiple variations in the SLNB technique have been described. We questioned how technique impacts the number of sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) removed and associated complications.

Background: Immune ageing complicates cancer treatment in older individuals. While immunotherapy targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway can reinvigorate T cells, these cells tend to become senescent with age. This study investigates different CD8 T cell subsets usually associated with senescence, in cancer patients over 70 years old who are undergoing anti-PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy, and examines the relationship between these senescent cells and prior chemotherapy exposure.

Background: Cell concentration in body fluid is an important factor for clinical diagnosis. The traditional method involves clinicians manually counting cells under microscopes, which is labor-intensive. Automated cell concentration estimation can be achieved using flow cytometers; however, their high cost limits accessibility.

Many studies have explored different loading and rehabilitation strategies, yet rehabilitation intensity and its impact on the local strain environment and bone healing have largely not been investigated. This study combined implantable strain sensors and subject-specific finite element models in a 2 mm rodent segmental bone defect model. After injury animals were underwent high or low intensity rehabilitation.
