Chest imaging in children presents unique challenges due to varying requirements across age groups. For chest radiographs, achieving optimal images often involves careful positioning and immobilisation techniques. Antero-posterior projections are easier to obtain in younger children, while lateral decubitus radiographs are sometimes used when expiratory images are difficult to obtain and for free air exclusion.

As breath nitric oxide (NO) is a biomarker of respiratory inflammation, reliable techniques for the online detection of ppb-level NO in exhaled breath are essential for the noninvasive diagnosis of respiratory inflammation. Here, we report a breath NO sensor based on the multiperiodic spectral reconstruction neural network. First, a spectral reconstruction method that transforms a spectrum from the wavelength domain to the intensity domain is proposed to remove noise and interference signals from the spectrum.

Cancer cells possess distinct bioelectrical properties, yet therapies leveraging these characteristics remain underexplored. Herein, we introduce an innovative nanobioelectronic system combining a piezoelectric barium titanate nanoparticle core with a conducting poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) shell (BTO@PEDOT NPs), designed to modulate cancer cell bioelectricity through noninvasive, wireless stimulation. Our hypothesis is that acting as nanoantennas, BTO@PEDOT NPs convert mechanical inputs provided by ultrasound (US) into electrical signals, capable of interfering with the bioelectronic circuitry of two human breast cancer cell lines, MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231.

This study highlights the importance of evaluating warfarin dosing in diabetic patients, who require careful anticoagulation management. With rising rates of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, understanding the factors influencing warfarin therapy is vital for improving patient outcomes and reducing adverse events. Data was sourced from the IWPC dataset, examining characteristics such as age, gender, diabetes status, indication for warfarin, weight, and height.

Hypothesis: Complex emulsions usually consist of aqueous phases, like oil-in-water-in-oil (o/w/o) and water-in-oil-in-water (w/o/w), serving foundational roles in colloid science. Oil-in-oil-oil (o/o/o) emulsions offer new avenues for non-aqueous reagents but face challenges in balancing the forces between multiple organic phases.
Experiments: In this work, we generate o/o/o emulsions by integrating an AC electric field with a double cross-junction microchannel.
