UAV remote sensing for crop lodging monitoring: A comprehensive review

Global agriculture is facing increasing pressure to improve productivity while minimizing losses caused by extreme climate events. Crop lodging poses a major threat to food security by reducing crop yield, deteriorating grain quality, and increasing harvesting costs. As a flexibl...

Infrapopliteal runoff status predicts mid-term outcomes after endovascular popliteal artery aneurysm repair

This study aimed to evaluate mid-term outcomes after endovascular repair (EPAR) for popliteal artery aneurysms (PAAs), with a specific focus on identifying prognostic factors for adverse events after EPAR, particularly the impact of infrapopliteal runoff status. Open surgical rep...

Photoactivated Organic Gas-Sensing Synapses with Enhanced Response and Memory for Neuromorphic Olfactory Systems

Abstract High-performance olfactory synapses are critical for efficient, wide-dynamic-range, and low-power neuromorphic sensing. Organic semiconductor devices, which offer advantages such as room-temperature operation, biocompatibility, and potential for large-scale manufacturing...

Direct economic burden of nosocomial infection in cardiovascular surgery patients based on DRG payment management

Abstract Objective To investigate the characteristics and direct economic burden of nosocomial infections in cardiovascular surgery patients using Diagnosis-Related Groups (DRG) stratification. Methods Clinical data of cardiovascular surgery patients were collected from January 2...

Common SAEs and their impact on the prognosis of children treated with the CCCG-ALL-2015 protocol: a retrospective multicentre Chinese study

This study was intended to evaluate common serious adverse events (SAEs) and analyze their effects on the prognosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) children. We retrospectively collected the data of 7640 consecutive ALL children with/ without SAEs who were enrolled in CCCG-...

Glycine‐Driven Dynamic Interfacial pH Buffering Enables Highly Reversible Zinc Metal Anodes

ABSTRACT Aqueous zinc‐ion batteries are severely hindered by interfacial side reactions including dendrite growth and by‐product accumulation, primarily caused by local pH fluctuations at the Zn/electrolyte interface. Here, we propose a dynamic interfacial pH‐buffering strategy u...

Clinical significance of the mitral annulus-left atrium coupling index for predicting left atrial appendage thrombogenic milieu in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation

Left atrial appendage (LAA) function is governed by the structure and function of the left atrium (LA) and left ventricle (LV). The mitral annular–left atrial coupling index (MALACI) may provide incremental value for thrombogenic milieu risk stratification in non-valvular atrial...

Gut microbiota functional remodeling and butyrate depletion amplify anti-Ro/La antibody-driven type I interferon activation in neonatal lupus

The early-life gut microbiome may influence susceptibility to antibody-mediated neonatal autoimmunity, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. We investigated whether gut microbial functional capacity and metabolites influence autoantibody-dependent immune activat...

Effect of phenylephrine versus ephedrine on the incidence of postoperative delirium in elderly patients undergoing non-cardiac and non-neurosurgical procedures: protocol for a multicentre, double-blind, randomized, controlled trial

BACKGROUND: Whether ephedrine, when used to maintain intraoperative blood pressure, is superior to phenylephrine in reducing postoperative delirium remains uncertain. This study aims to determine whether the intraoperative management of hypotension with ephedrine, compared with p...

Deciphering shared genetic architecture between migraine and intracranial aneurysm: an integrative genomic study of neurovascular comorbidity

Epidemiological studies have suggested an association between migraine and intracranial aneurysm (IA), but their shared genetic basis remains unclear. This study aimed to characterize the common genetic factors between the two disorders. Using genome-wide association study (GWAS)...

Elevated Plasma DISC1 Levels Are Associated With Motivational Deficits in Medication‐Free Patients With Major Depressive Disorder: An Exploratory Study

ABSTRACT Disrupted‐in‐Schizophrenia 1 ( DISC1 ) has been implicated in major psychiatric disorders, but the relationship between circulating DISC1 protein and dimensional motivation and pleasure‐related features in major depressive disorder (MDD) is unknown. This exploratory cros...

Taurine-loaded extracellular vesicles suppress mtDNA–cGAS–STING signaling by enhancing SIRT1-dependent mitophagy to alleviate neuronal senescence after spinal cord injury

Spinal cord injury (SCI) triggers a cascade of secondary pathological processes that lead to progressive neuronal dysfunction and impaired functional recovery. Although cellular senescence has been increasingly implicated in neurodegenerative conditions, its role in SCI remains p...

Toward high-efficiency selective emitters at elevated temperatures with particle doping via synergistic regulation of intrinsic and structural effects

Particle-doped emitters have been investigated in thermophotovoltaic (TPV) systems, where emissivity is controlled by particle composition and volume fraction. However, the impacts of intrinsic optical properties (n, κ) and particle structural parameters on the emission spectrum...

The abscopal effect and systemic immune reprogramming: from phenomenon to therapeutic design

The classical abscopal effect is defined here as objective regression of a verified non-irradiated tumor lesion following local radiotherapy. An immune abscopal phenomenon denotes a prespecified, reproducible immune change within such a lesion that is attributable to the local in...

Beyond visually negative MRI: a clinical–radiomics combined model for identifying hypoxic–ischemic encephalopathy in term neonates with birth asphyxia

In term neonates with birth asphyxia but normal visual findings on conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), accurately identifying of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) remains challenging. Therefore, this study aims to construct and validate a combined clinical-radiomic...

Spatiotemporal Analysis of Rice Cropping Patterns and Land Degradation Driven by Land Use and Land Cover Change in Jiangsu, China

ABSTRACT This study examines recent single‐season rice (SSR) dynamics, land use/land cover (LULC) transition, and land degradation in Jiangsu Province, China, using an integrated remote‐sensing workflow on Google Earth Engine within a recent 2021–2024 monitoring framework. Annual...

Refining the Fe-Containing IMCs in Al-Fe Alloy Through a Heterogeneous Nucleation Interface for an Enhanced Ductility of Recycled Aluminum Alloys
