A 49-year-old male presented with class III exertional angina, 1 year after angioplasty of the left anterior descending artery (LAD) and right coronary artery. Coronary angiogram revealed 90% in-stent restenosis (ISR) in mid-LAD with angiographic impression of stent fracture. Optical coherence tomographic evaluation of mid-LAD ISR showed a distinct 3 mm long "eclipse sign" indicating embolized, broken guiding catheter tip as a cause of ISR, which was confirmed on reviewing 1-year-old angiographic images. This was managed with "cut and fix technique" using cutting balloon and another drug-eluting stent. Optical coherence tomographic at 9 months showed well endothelialized stent with a thin layer of neo-intimal hyperplasia over the sandwiched broken guiding tip.

Topological mechanical states in geometry-driven hyperuniform materials.

Disordered hyperuniform materials are increasingly drawing attention due to their unique physical properties, associated with global isotropy and locally broken orientational symmetry, that set them apart from traditional crystalline materials. Using a dynamic space-partitioning process, we generate disordered hyperuniform cellular structures where distinct patterns of pentagonal and heptagonal topological defects emerge within hexagonal domains. The microscopic defect dynamics are guided by local topological transitions, commonly observed in viscoelastic systems.

Introduction: Intramedullary femoral nails (IMFNs) need to be removed for subsequent joint replacement, refracture, nonunion, or infection. The tools used to extract newer IMFNs may not be suited for removal of older implants, especially if broken. The purpose of this study was to describe a novel technique in femoral nail extraction when primary measures fail and a report on 6 cases where it was used.

Objective: To compare the effectiveness of Achillon Achilles tendon suture guide combined with circuit suture under the perineural channel and Krachow suture with posterolateral incision of Achilles tendon in the treatment of Kuwada type Ⅱ acute closed Achilles tendon rupture.
Methods: The clinical data of 38 patients with Kuwada type Ⅱ acute closed Achilles tendon rupture who met the selection criteria between January 2020 and December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Krachow suture via posterolateral incision was used in 24 cases (traditional group), and Achillon Achilles tendon suture guide combined with circuit suture via perineural channel was used in 14 cases (minimally invasive group).
Electrically-controlled suppression of Rayleigh backscattering in an integrated photonic circuit.
Nanophotonics

Department of Mechanical Science & Engineering, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, IL 61801, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Undesirable light scattering, particularly Rayleigh backscattering, reduces photon efficiency in nanophotonics, especially in wave-guiding systems due to material and geometric defects at tiny scales.
- The research introduces a method to dynamically suppress Rayleigh backscattering using chiral dispersion linked to broken time-reversal symmetry, showcasing its effectiveness in integrated photonic systems.
- Experiments conducted with lithium niobate resonators demonstrate nearly complete suppression of this backscattering, supporting the theory that it can be understood as a form of topological protection in a synthetic framework.
Study of Laurie tea processor black tea mixing fermentation using the simplex centroid design method.

Background: Broken black tea (BBT) is the most consumed black tea in the world. Laurie tea processor black tea (LTP-BT) is one of the most important categories of BBT. In this study, the fresh leaves of three tea plant cultivars including Golden Peony tea, Yunnandaye, and Fuding Dabai were blended to process LTP-BT using the simplex centroid design.
