Background: To explore the effect of scattered or eccentric shaped types of ground glass opacity (GGO) on outcomes of patients with solid-dominant peripheral lung adenocarcinoma.
Methods: We evaluated patients with solid-dominant peripheral lung adenocarcinoma, who underwent radical surgery at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, between January 2013 and December 2015. Morphologically heterogeneous solid-dominant lung adenocarcinoma in imaging findings was based on the last preoperative computed tomography (CT) scans. Endpoints were recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS). Kaplan-Meier analysis and the log-rank test were used to estimate survival differences. Impact factors were assessed by univariable logistic regression analysis.
Results: We retrospectively collected data from 200 patients, including 170 patients with central island-shaped CT imaging, 18 patients with scattered shaped CT imaging, and 12 patients with eccentric shaped CT imaging. Eleven patients experienced recurrence or metastases. Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed significant survival differences between the central island-shaped type and scattered shaped or eccentric shaped type for OS (c-stage IA: 5-year OS: 100% vs. 92.1%; HR = 0.019, = 0.0025; p-stage IA: 100% vs. 95.2%; HR = 0.146, = 0.1139) and RFS (c-stage IA: 5-year RFS: 100% vs. 59.7%; HR = 0.001, < 0.0001; p-stage IA: 100% vs. 64.5%; HR < 0.001, < 0.0001). Univariable logistic regression analysis showed that scattered and eccentric shaped types were related to poor outcomes ( < 0.012, odds ratio = 18.8).
Conclusions: Relative spatial position of GGO and solid components may affect patient outcomes. Patients with scattered or eccentric shaped GGO may have a poor prognosis.

Background: The selection guideline for the implant-supported bar connectors (ISBC) of hybrid denture is lacking. This study investigated the maximum von Mises stress (vMS), stress distribution, and displacement of various geometric ISBC in mandibular hybrid dentures, as well as the maximum principal stress (σmax) in the acrylic resin part, through finite element analysis.
Methods: Four different geometric cross-sectional patterns for mandibular ISBC-L, Y, I, and Square-of equal volume, based on the "All-on-4" concept, were created.

Introduction: Urine cytology is a morphological diagnostic test that is, patient-friendly and easy to sample but subjective in morphological evaluation. This study aims to evaluate the effect of combining cell findings to assess urine cytology.
Materials And Methods: Thirty cell findings found in high-grade urothelial carcinoma (HGUC) were selected for morphological abnormalities, each with detailed definitions.

Background: Patients with hypoplastic left ventricles (LV) who undergo volume-loading procedures (recruitment, biventricular (BIV) repair) are at risk for adverse outcomes including heart failure and death. We investigated pre-BIV LV shape as a predictor of outcome after BIV repair in patients with hypoplastic LVs.
Methods: Baseline and post-recruitment cardiac MRI and CT data were analyzed in patients with hypoplastic LV (< 50 ml/m).

Purpose: The aim of this study was to develop, optimise, train, and evaluate an algorithm for performing Supervised Automated Kinetic Perimetry (SAKP) using digitalised perimetric simulation data.
Methods: The original SAKP algorithm was based on findings from a multicentre study to establish reference values by semi-automated kinetic perimetry (SKP) combined with an automated examination method with moving stimuli ("Program K", developed in Japan). The algorithm evaluated the outer angles of isopter segments and responded to deviations from expected values by placing examination vectors to measure the outer boundaries of the visual field (VF).

Miniaturized six-axis force/torque sensors have potential applications in robotic tactile sensing, minimally invasive surgery, and other narrow operating spaces, where currently available commercial sensors cannot meet the requirements because of their large size. In this study, a silicon-based capacitive six-axis force/torque sensing chip with a small size of 9.3 × 9.
