We report three cases of thoracic impalement by large-diameter steel pipes as a result of motor vehicle accidents. The steel pipes were removed in all patients in the operating room under general anesthesia and controlled circumstances. Despite the dramatic nature and presentation of these injuries, all 3 patients had nonlethal injuries and have recuperated without sequelae. Orderly care with standard surgical procedures is required and will give good results.

Objective: Creating an intracortical brain-computer interface (iBCI) capable of seamless transitions between tasks and contexts would greatly enhance user experience. However, the nonlinearity in neural activity presents challenges to computing a global iBCI decoder. We aimed to develop a method that differs from a globally optimized decoder to address this issue.

In order to address many issues, such as the inconsistent and unreliable seeding process in traditional mechanical garlic seed metering systems (SMS), as well as the lack of ability to monitor the effectiveness of the seeding, a highly accurate electric-driven metering system (EDMS) was developed and created specifically for garlic seed planters. This study provided a description of the overall structure and functioning principle, as well as an analysis of the mechanism for smooth transit and delivery. A combination of an infrared (IR) sensor, Arduino Mega board, stepper motor, speed sensor, and a Wi-Fi module was employed to operate the EDMS, as well as monitor and count the quantity of garlic seeds during the planting process and determine the qualified rate (QR) and missing rate (MR).

Motor neuron diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and progressive bulbar palsy, involve loss of muscle control resulting from death of motor neurons. Although the exact pathogenesis of these syndromes remains elusive, many are caused by genetically inherited mutations. Thus, it is valuable to identify additional genes that can impact motor neuron survival and function.

In this study, we explored the biocultural mechanisms underlying ancient craft behaviours. Archaeological methods were integrated with neuroscience techniques to explore the impact on neuroplasticity resulting from the introduction of early pottery techniques. The advent of ceramic marked a profound change in the economy and socio-cultural dynamics of past societies.

Objective: This study aimed to describe the monitoring of treatment fidelity in a pragmatic pediatric rehabilitation trial using the National Institutes of Health Behavior Change Consortium framework, and to identify child and therapist factors that influence treatment fidelity.
Methods: Therapists (n = 28) were trained in the key ingredients (1-on-1, functional, goal-directed, motor learning intervention) and study protocol for a comparative effectiveness trial titled: A Comparison: High Intensity periodic vs. Every week therapy in children with cerebral palsy (ACHIEVE) for children ages 2 to 8 years with cerebral palsy.
