Background: Pursuing excellence in healthcare delivery systems is an ongoing process. In this process, continuing medical education (CME) is essential for medical professionals to maintain high standards of patient care. In China, where the healthcare sector is undergoing considerable reforms and faces challenges owing to socioeconomic development and demographic shifts, an effective CME system is vital for general practitioners (GPs).

Vancomycin causes kidney injury by accumulating in the proximal tubule, likely mediated by megalin uptake. Protamine is a putative megalin inhibitor that shares binding sites with heparin and is approved for the treatment of heparin overdose. We employed a well-characterized Sprague-Dawley rat model to assess kidney injury and function in animals that received vancomycin, protamine alone, or vancomycin plus protamine over 5 days.

Introduction: In 2020, 368 million people globally were affected by knee osteoarthritis, and prevalence is projected to increase with 74% by 2050. Relatively high rates of dissatisfactory results after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), as reported by approximately 20% of patients, may be caused by sub-optimal knee alignment and balancing. While mechanical alignment has traditionally been the goal, patient-specific alignment strategies are gaining interest.

In this paper, trajectory tracking control as the pursuit of a specific target by wheel-legged mobile robots (WLMRs) in an environment with the presence of obstacles is presented. These types of robots are designed to navigate different paths such as slippery trajectories, paths with obstacles, and other challenging paths. In addition, the robot can move its legs in different surface conditions and operate more flexibly with the help of wheels attached to the legs.
