Evaluation of Residual Strength of Polyester Lines Considering Breakage of Some Strands

To accurately assess damaged polyester lines’ residual strength, this study takes commonly used engineering spiral-strand unjacketed polyester lines as the research object, and first proposes a strand rearrangement-based evaluation method. It accounts for subropes/strands’ load-b...

Cross-sectional assessment of cerebral hemodynamics in individuals with type 2 diabetes and orthostatic hypotension

This cross-sectional study investigated the cerebral hemodynamics of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) with varying orthostatic hypotension (OH) statuses. Using transcranial Doppler (TCD), we assessed cerebral blood flow velocities (CBFv) and pulsatility index (PI) during a su...

New-onset headache and early aggravation of pre-existing headache after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion: a retrospective cohort study

Pre-existing cervicogenic headache often improves after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF); however, new-onset postoperative headache and early aggravation of pre-existing headache remain poorly characterized. This study evaluated these outcomes separately and assesse...

Multimodality imaging and surgical management of a rare combination: type 2A bridging bronchus, pulmonary artery sling, and atrial septal defect, a case report

We report the case of a 15-year-old female presenting with exertional syncope and a history of refractory respiratory symptoms. Comprehensive preoperative multimodality imaging—including echocardiography, multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) with three-dimensional reconstruc...

Volatilomic and transcriptomic analyses uncover the mechanisms underlying flavor-related VOC changes during the harvest period of Citrus reticulata ‘Chachi’

Harvest timing is a critical determinant of the quality of Citrus reticulata ‘Chachi’ (CRC), the sole raw material for Guang Chenpi. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the dynamics of flavor-related volatile organic compounds (VOCs) across the commercial harvest period...
