Objectives: Neglect in vertical and radial directions is rarely evaluated systematically in patients with brain damage.
Method And Results: Using the line bisection task, we confirmed that some patients with unilateral brain damage manifest vertical or radial spatial neglect. In fact, patients with severe left horizontal neglect tend to have severe vertical neglect.
Conclusion: Because vertical and radial neglect may affect the ability to perform functional daily activities, occupational therapists need to address the existence of vertical and radial neglect when evaluating and training patients with brain damage.

Nanofibrous Hydrogel with Highly Salt-Resistant Radial/Vertical-Combined Structure for Efficient Solar Interfacial Evaporation.

Hydrogel-based solar interfacial evaporators, featuring various channels such as random, unidirectional, and radial array, are considered effective for seawater desalination owing to their porous structure, lower evaporation enthalpy, and controllable water transport capacity. However, each individual array structure has its own strengths and limitations, influencing water transportation, thermal management, and salt rejection. By combining the benefits of each array configuration into a single evaporator, the evaporation performance can be maximized.

Small volume dissolution systems are commonly used in dissolution testing, primarily in method development for low dose formulations compared to standard dissolution apparatuses used with evaluation of larger formulations. This is typically done because of cost savings associated with using smaller media volumes and sample sizes, to overcome the lack of material in early development, and to provide higher analytical sensitivity and discrimination ability. The Chinese Pharmacopoeia (CP) includes a small dissolution apparatus in their list ("Method 3 (Small Vessel)") (The State Pharmacopoeia Commission of P.

Introduction: This work presents a multi-institutional study on image quality provided by a novel cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). The main goal is to investigate the consistency of imaging performance across multiple institutions.
Methods: Phantoms for measuring relative electron density (RED) and image quality were sent to six institutions for imaging on Ethos and Halcyon units equipped with HyperSight CBCT.

Purpose Of Review: Treatment of meniscus injuries can have a substantial effect on the intra-articular biomechanics and long-term function of the knee. Meniscus repair has become a more favorable treatment option as prior studies have demonstrated a strong correlation between meniscal preservation and restoration of intra-articular contact pressure and decreased progression of arthritis. The goal of meniscus repair is to provide a stable load bearing construct to allow for meniscal healing.
