: This study explores how thoracic orientation affects lung pressure and injury outcomes from shock waves, building on earlier research that suggested human posture impacts injury severity. : A layered finite element model of the chest was constructed based on the Chinese Visual Human Dataset (CVH), including the rib and intercostal muscle layers. The dynamic response of the chest under 12 different angle-oriented shock waves under incident pressures of 200 kPa and 500 kPa was calculated.

Purpose: This retrospective study furthers our understanding of risk factors associated with hemorrhage and intervention in renal angiomyolipomas (R-AMLs), particularly in larger tumors (≥ 4 cm) and in childbearing-age (CBA; younger than 50 years) women. The objective was to refine risk stratification and optimize patient management.
Methods: Review of our institutional database identified patients with radiographic R-AML from 1997 to 2023.

Background: The oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of Tibetan adolescents has been largely overlooked.
Aim: This cross-sectional study examined the association of region-specific lifestyle, subjective perception, and clinician conditions of oral health with Tibetan adolescents' OHRQoL in Ganzi, Sichuan.
Methods: The OHRQoL was measured using standardized Child Oral Impacts on Daily Performances (sC-OIDP) scores.

Background: Mohs micrographic surgery offers high cure rates of cutaneous malignancies, but surgeons are often faced with large and complicated defects after tumour removal.
Objectives: To assess the safety and complication rates of large flaps and grafts (measuring ≥30 cm) and larger complex linear closures (CLC, ≥12.5 cm, as defined by the American Medical Association Current Procedural Terminology code set), when performed under local anaesthesia.

Blood-bearing medical devices are essential for the delivery of critical care medicine and are often required to function for weeks to months. However, thrombus formation on their surfaces can lead to reduced device function and failure and expose patients to systemic thrombosis risks. While clinical anticoagulants reduce device related thrombosis, they also increase patient bleeding risk.
