The service life of the lithium-oxygen (Li-O) battery is an essential factor in measuring the performance of the battery, and it is also imperative to clarify the reason for battery termination. In this work, the positive electrode of a nonaqueous Li-O battery was selected after cutoff under different discharge conditions, and the digital reconstruction model of the positive electrode was carried out by X-CT technology. The reconstructed positive electrode's structural characteristics, material transport characteristics, and electrical conductivity were analyzed. It is found that the positive electrode has an apparent expansion phenomenon after constant capacity cyclic charge and discharge, but this situation is not evident after deep discharge. After the constant capacity test is cut off, the product distribution range in the positive electrode is more comprehensive and the material transport efficiency is higher. However, after deep discharge, the product distribution in the positive electrode is more concentrated and the material transport efficiency is lower. There are apparent differences in the termination mechanism between constant capacity cycle discharge and deep discharge. This paper provides a compelling theoretical basis for revealing the discharge termination mechanism of nonaqueous Li-O batteries.

Biosensors are transforming point-of-care diagnostics by simplifying the detection process and enabling rapid, accurate testing. This study introduces a novel, reusable biosensor designed for direct viral RNA detection from unfiltered saliva, targeting SARS-CoV-2. Unlike conventional methods requiring filtration, our biosensor leverages a unique electrode design that prevents interference from saliva debris, allowing precise measurements.

This study aims to evaluate factors influencing revision cochlear implant surgeries, including patient demographics, surgical techniques, and radiological findings. The main aim was to identify factors influencing surgical success to inform clinical treatment and enhance patient outcomes. This cross-sectional study included adult patients over the age of 18 who underwent revision cochlear implant surgery due to implant-related complications.

In this study, the potential to modify the phase structure and morphology of manganese dioxide synthesized via the hydrothermal route was explored. A series of samples were prepared at different synthesis temperatures (100, 120, 140, and 160 °C) using KMnO and MnSO·HO as precursors. The phase composition and morphology of the materials were analyzed using various physicochemical methods.

Rationale: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a clinical syndrome associated with a multitude of conditions. Although renal replacement therapy (RRT) remains the cornerstone of treatment for advanced AKI, its implementation can potentially pose risks and may not be readily accessible across all healthcare settings and regions. Elevated lactate levels are implicated in sepsis-induced AKI; however, it remains unclear whether increased lactate directly induces AKI or elucidates the underlying mechanisms.

Background: Episiotomy is a surgical intervention performed during the second stage of labor to facilitate the baby's exit through the birth canal. There are different reasons that lead episiotomy; however, it is recommended performed occasionally and not systematically, since it may produce negative effects such as pain. Different therapies have been described to reduce this pain, including transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS).
