Rapidly deployable bio-based chitosan/phytate polyelectrolyte hydrogel coatings for flame retardancy and short-term thermal protection of cotton fabrics

Cotton fabrics are highly flammable cellulose-based textiles that are prone to rapid flame spread and smoldering, creating serious fire safety risks. Hydrogel coatings offer a promising route for textile fire protection because their water-rich networks can absorb heat through ev...

Prevalence and geographic variation of enteric pathogens among asymptomatic individuals in China: a nationwide, cross-sectional, multiplex molecular survey

The increasing use of multiplex molecular assays has improved the detection of enteric pathogens, but baseline carriage in asymptomatic populations remains poorly characterized, complicating the interpretation of positive test results. We aimed to investigate the prevalence and g...

Non‐Contact Photoplethysmography for In‐Vehicle Health Monitoring With Seamlessly Integrated Photodetector Array and Hardware‐Accelerated AI

ABSTRACT While non‐contact physiological monitoring offers clear advantages over contact‐based methods in dynamic environments such as intelligent vehicles, its practical deployment remains constrained by low signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) and susceptibility to motion artifacts. Her...

Endovenous thermal ablation combined with foam sclerotherapy is a safe and effective method for the treatment of lower extremity varicose veins: a multicenter retrospective analysis

To compare the safety, efficacy, and perioperative outcomes of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and endovenous microwave ablation (EMA), each combined with foam sclerotherapy, versus traditional high ligation and stripping (HL/S) for symptomatic lower extremity varicose veins. The p...

Innovative treatment strategies for impacted maxillary central incisor and case comparisons

Background: The present article compares innovative treatment strategies for impacted maxillary central incisors, emphasizing the critical importance of prioritizing root development over rapid crown alignment. Methods: Two case reports using distinct clinical approaches are pres...
