Hidden dangers of vegetative foreign body aspiration in children: case report and literature review
Foreign body aspiration (FBA) is a common pediatric emergency; however, vegetative foreign bodies, particularly inflorescences, pose a unique diagnostic challenge due to their potential for extra-airway migration. This report describes a rare case of wheat-spike aspiration in a c...

High-speed trains require prolonged continuous braking to control speed under long ramps, causing brake pads to suffer from uneven wear, exfoliation, and crack damage due to sustained heavy loads. However, the rotational speed varies continuously during braking under long ramps,...

Mantle heterogeneity drives spreading center dynamics at Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge
The Mohns and Knipovich mid-ocean ridges in the Arctic Ocean are ideal settings to investigate the dynamics of spreading centers, being the region affected by intricate interplays between oblique plate kinematics and curved plate boundary geometry. Furthermore, significant mantle...

Morbid obesity is associated with increased skin-to-dura distance, which may complicate spinal anesthesia using standard-length pencil-point spinal needles. We describe a simple technical modification developed during spinal anesthesia in a parturient with a body mass index of 40...

Gas InvasionPatterns in Saturated Marine Sediments
Abstract Gas invasion into fluid-saturated marine sediments is relevant to various geophysical and environmental processes, such as the formation of gas hydrate reservoirs and their behavior during depressurization-based gas production. The link between pore-scale mechanisms and...

A Body Within a Body — Pregnancy, Personhood, and Inner Jurisdiction
This essay examines pregnancy as an embodied relation between unequal scales of life and asks how moral responsibility can recognize developing life without transferring jurisdiction over the pregnant body to another person or the state. It proposes inner jurisdiction—not as abso...
