Gas explosion is one of the main causes of casualties in coal mines. Studying the propagation law of shock wave of mine gas explosion can reduce the economic loss and personnel injury caused by mine gas explosion. To solve the difficulty in the research of shock wave propagation of gas explosion in the mine scale, the segmented relay simulation method of shock wave propagation of gas explosion in a coal mine was put forward, the related key problems were studied, and the results were successfully applied in Yangchangwan No. 2 Mine. The results show the following: (1) When the length of the forked roadway exceeds 50 m, the length of the forked roadway has little effect on the shock wave overpressure in the main roadway. When the length of the forked roadway is short, the closure of the forked roadway has a great influence on the change curve of the shock wave overpressure in the main roadway. Therefore, the length of the bifurcation roadway should not be less than 50 m in numerical simulation. (2) The angle of the bifurcated roadway has a great influence on the shock wave propagation of explosion in the main roadway. With the increase in the angle of the bifurcated roadway, the overpressure in the main roadway tends to increase at first and then decrease, and the peak overpressure is the highest when the angle of the bifurcated roadway is 90°. (3) The influence range of the roadway pressure-outlet boundary is about 5 m, and the dynamic parameter monitoring point should be set at about 10 m away from the pressure outlet; dynamic boundary monitoring parameters should include static pressure, dynamic pressure, and temperature. (4) When the gas explosion occurs in the heading face, the shock wave will cause great damage to the adjacent heading face. When the shock wave reaches the head-on and upper corner of the heading face, it will be reflected violently, which will cause the local overpressure to rise obviously. The peak overpressure and gas accumulation length conform to the logarithmic function.

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent form of osteoarthritis and a leading cause of chronic pain in adults. This study aimed to compare the short-term effects of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), low-level laser therapy (LLLT), and pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF) on pain, function, and quality of life in patients with knee OA. A hundred and twenty patients with Kellgren-Lawrence grade 2-3 knee OA were randomized into four groups: ESWT (once a week for three sessions), LLLT (twice a week for eight sessions), PEMF (twice a week for eight sessions), and a control group with 30 patients in each group.

Endoscopic Management of Benign Pancreaticobiliary Disorders.

J Clin Med

January 2025

Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Center for Digestive Health, Virginia Mason, Franciscan Health, Seattle, WA 98101, USA.

Endoscopic management of benign pancreaticobiliary disorders encompasses a range of procedures designed to address complications in gallstone disease, choledocholithiasis, and pancreatic disorders. Acute cholecystitis is typically treated with cholecystectomy or percutaneous drainage (PT-GBD), but for high-risk or future surgical candidates, alternative decompression methods, such as endoscopic transpapillary gallbladder drainage (ETP-GBD), and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided gallbladder drainage (EUS-GBD), are effective. PT-GBD is associated with significant discomfort as well as variable adverse event rates.

Objective: Removal of a transcutaneous osseintegrated endo-fix stem (ESKA Orthopaedic, Lübeck, Germany) following a fatigue fracture of the implant, whilst protecting the residual femur bone to allow transcutaneous osseointegrated prosthesis system (TOPS) reimplantation.

Indications: A patient's request for a further TOPS implantation following a fatigue fracture of a circular osseointegrated implant stem.

Contraindications: Impending destruction of the bone tube through mobilisation of the femoral implant stem with insufficient thickness of the cortical wall (< 2-3 mm).

Synchronized acoustic emission and high-speed imaging of cavitation-induced atomization: The role of shock waves.

Ultrason Sonochem

January 2025

School of Engineering Computing and Mathematics, Oxford Brookes University, Oxford, UK; Department of Materials, University of Oxford, Oxford, UK.

This study experimentally investigates the role of cavitation-induced shock waves in initiating and destabilizing capillary (surface) waves on a droplet surface, preceding atomization. Acoustic emissions and interfacial wave dynamics were simultaneously monitored in droplets of different liquids (water, isopropyl alcohol and glycerol), using a calibrated fiber-optic hydrophone and high-speed imaging. Spectral analysis of the hydrophone data revealed distinct subharmonic frequency peaks in the acoustic spectrum correlated with the wavelength of capillary waves, which were optically captured during the onset of atomization from the repetitive imploding bubbles.

Aims: The Tpeak-Tend interval on electrocardiogram may be a predictor of worse outcomes in Takotsubo syndrome (TTS), but the mechanisms have not been fully determined. This study aimed to investigate the relationships between the corrected Tpeak-Tend (cTp-e) interval and coronary microvascular-dysfunction (CMD) assessed by the angiography-derived index of microvascular resistance (Angio-IMR) and the in-hospital prognosis in patients with TTS.

Methods And Results: We retrospectively evaluated 111 consecutive patients admitted for TTS who underwent coronary angiography at Kindai University Hospital from October 2009 to July 2023.
