Pulmonary infection is a major Reef Items cause of mortality in immunocompromised patients.Immunosuppression can be divided into neutropenia, humoral immunodeficiency, and cellular immunodeficiency.Pulmonary infection in these patients typically depends on the type, duration, and degree of immunodeficiency.Pulmonary infection in immunocompromised p
Focused ultrasound enables selective actuation and Newton-level force output of untethered soft robots
Abstract Untethered miniature soft robots have significant application potentials in biomedical and industrial fields due to their space accessibility and safe human interaction.However, the lack of selective and forceful actuation is still challenging in revolutionizing and unleashing their versatility.Here, we propose a focused ultrasound-control
Development and validation of an interpretable machine learning model for predicting left atrial thrombus or spontaneous echo contrast in non-valvular atrial fibrillation patients.
PurposeLeft atrial thrombus or spontaneous echo contrast (LAT/SEC) are widely recognized as significant contributors to cardiogenic embolism in non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF).This study aimed to construct and validate an interpretable predictive model of LAT/SEC risk in NVAF patients using machine learning (ML) methods.MethodsElectronic me
Evolution of vacuolar proton pyrophosphatase domains and volutin granules: clues into the early evolutionary origin of the acidocalcisome
Abstract Background Volutin granules appear to be universally distributed and are morphologically and chemically identical to acidocalcisomes, which are electron-dense granular organelles rich in calcium and phosphate, whose functions include storage of phosphorus and various metal ions, metabolism of polyphosphate, maintenance of intracellular pH,
FSM Inspired Unconventional Hardware Watermark Using Field-Assisted SOT-MTJ
The globalization of the Integrated Circuits supply chain has increased threats from untrusted entities involved in the process.Several mechanisms, such as logic locking, watermarking and split manufacturing, are widely used to ensure hardware security.This study describes a novel method for creating hardware watermarks inspired by finite-state mac
