This prospective study of 90 patients after lumbar metrizamide myelography indicates that the semiupright position at 45 degrees in bed or early ambulation reduces postprocedure vomiting but does not reduce the frequency of headache. Ambulatory patients have less frequent nausea than patients kept in bed.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the leading cause of acute lower respiratory tract infections in young children, elderly and immunocompromised patients worldwide. The RSV fusion (F) protein, which has 5-6 N-glycosylation sites depending on the strain, is a major target for vaccine development. Two to three of these sites are located in the p27 peptide, which is considered absent in virions.

Human Pose Estimation (HPE) is a computer vision application that utilizes deep learning techniques to precisely locate Key Joint Points (KJPs), enabling the accurate description of a person's pose. HPE models can be extended to facilitate Range of Motion (ROM) assessment by leveraging patient photographs. This study aims to evaluate and compare the performance of HPE models for assessing upper limbs ROM.

is an important plant pathogen in maize and other cereals that is seldom detected as the cause of human fusariosis. Here, we provide the analysis of the available diversity of sequenced worldwide and report the first two genome assemblies and annotations (including mitochondrial DNA) of from clinical settings. 05-0160 (IUM05-0160) and 09-1037 (IUM09-1037) strains were obtained from the bone marrow and blood of two immunocompromised patients, respectively.

The rapid development of wireless power transfer (WPT) technology has provided new avenues for supplying continuous and stable power to capsule robots. In this article, we propose a two-dimensional omnidirectional wireless power transfer (OWPT) system, which enables power to be transmitted effectively in multiple spatial directions. This system features a three-dimensional transmitting structure with a Helmholtz coil and saddle coil pairs, combined with a one-dimensional receiving structure.

Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is a chronic disease, the prevalence of which has been increasing in recent years. And the prevalence of patients who test negative with existing diagnostic techniques remains high. It was found that the antigenic BCOADC-E2 protein could detect patients with a negative original test.
