An autopsy study of a patient with refractory status epilepticus: MRI findings and histopathological correlation

Abstract Background Status epilepticus (SE) has been defined as a seizure that persists for more than 5 min. If SE persists despite benzodiazepine and appropriately dosed antiseizure medications, it could be regarded as refractory SE (RSE). New-onset refractory status epilepticus...

Unraveling the Ionic Adsorption and Migration Mechanism of Inverse Opal Capacitive Deionization Electrode

ABSTRACT Developing advanced capacitive deionization electrodes for desalination requires the concurrent enhancement of thermodynamic and kinetic properties. Despite extensive research on improving thermodynamic features represented by adsorption capacity, the investigation on th...

Sewn textile strain sensors: impact of contact-regulating stitch parameters on strain sensing performance

Sewn textile strain sensors (STSSs) provide a scalable and textile-integrated approach for wearable motion monitoring. In this work, STSSs were fabricated on a rib knitted fabric using silver-plated nylon thread (SPNT) by lockstitch sewing. The stitch distance and sewing layer nu...

Comparative in vivo evaluation of colistin resistance determinants in Escherichia coli clone ST131

Background Colistin is a last-resort antimicrobial for multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative infections. Health risks associated with colistin resistance are commonly inferred from resistance phenotypes, despite limited in vivo evidence linking resistance determinants to pathog...

Loss of SATB2 is associated with MUC16 upregulation in the invasive component of colitis-associated colorectal carcinoma

Colitis-associated colorectal carcinoma (CAC) arises in the setting of long-standing inflammatory bowel disease and shows clinicopathological and molecular differences from sporadic colorectal carcinoma. Loss of SATB2 expression is increasingly recognized in a subset of CACs, but...

Individualization and Purification of Carbon Nanothreads

Notwithstanding the synthesis of many types of carbon nanothreads with different structures, compositions, and theoretical property predictions, the experimental verification of thread properties remains challenging due to a paucity of techniques to disperse as-grown solid-state...
