Supracondylar humerus fractures are common in the pediatric population, but flexion fractures are very rare in this population. The need for open reduction in these fractures is high and can be challenging for orthopaedic surgeons. In this article, we report a 9-year-old patient with bilateral flexion-type humeral fracture treated with closed reduction, which, to our knowledge, is the first report in the literature. We concluded that the first step in the treatment of flexion-type supracondylar fractures should be closed reduction with the help of an experienced assistant surgeon and that successful results can be obtained even in bilateral flexion-type fractures with appropriate treatment and follow-up...

This research investigated how the similarity of the rendering parameters of background and foreground objects affected egocentric depth perception in indoor virtual and augmented environments. We refer to the similarity of the rendering parameters as visual 'congruence'. Study participants manipulated the depth of a sphere to match the depth of a designated target peg. In the first experiment, the sphere and peg were both virtual, while in the second experiment, the sphere is virtual and the peg is real. In both experiments, depth perception accuracy was found to depend on the levels of realism and congruence between the sphere, pegs, and background...

BACKGROUND: In performing a neck lift, the size and location of the submandibular gland (SMG) must be evaluated to achieve the ideal neck contour. Many surgeons, however, avoid SMG excision because of the technical difficulty, risks of hematoma, and nerve damage. LigaSure™ (Valleylab, Boulder, CO) is a bipolar energy-based instrument that permanently seals vessels and connective tissue which can make the SMG excision step easy and safe by reducing surgical risks. METHODS: A total of 83 patients who underwent SMG excision between 2018 and 2022 were included in the study...

Biopsy as a procedure is technically simple but conceptually a challenge. The principles of biopsy have remained more or less the same for 3 decades. With the advent of imaging, hospital facilities, and pathology modalities, we feel it is important that these principles are revisited. Uncertainties are spread across the literature regarding this very important first step in the care of an oncology patient. A surgeon planning the biopsy should be equipped with an MRI for planning. A biopsy has to be considered even for a benign-looking lesion...

Yield is the most complex trait to improve crop production, and identifying the genetic determinants for high yield is a major issue in breeding new varieties. In faba bean ( Vicia faba L.), quantitative trait loci (QTLs) have previously been detected in studies of biparental mapping populations, but the genes controlling the main trait components remain largely unknown. In this study, we investigated for the first time the genetic control of six faba bean yield-related traits: shattering (SH), pods per plant (PP), seeds per pod (SP), seeds per plant (SPL), 100-seed weight (HSW), and plot yield (PY), using a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on a worldwide collection of 352 homozygous faba bean accessions with the aim of identifying markers associated with them...

Doping active agents into metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is widely sought after owing to its potential to enhance adsorption and photocatalytic efficiency, surpassing the potential of bare frameworks. This study incorporated a catalytically active NS-ligand (1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one) into a very stable and porous PCN-600 MOF via an in situ synthesis approach. The NS-ligand, which matched with the host ligands of PCN-600, enabled the highly efficient synthesis of NS-co-doped MOFs. The pristine PCN-600 framework and morphology were retained in the MOF altered with the NS-ligand, as demonstrated by XRD, FTIR, and SEM characterizations...

Bioluminescence is light produced by organisms through chemical reactions. In most cases, bioluminescent organisms produce light in response to mechanical stimulation, including from shear around objects moving in the water. Many phytoplankton and zooplankton are capable of producing bioluminescence, which is commonly measured as bioluminescence potential, defined as mechanically stimulated light measured inside of a chambered pump-through bathyphotometer. We have developed a numerical model of a pump-through bathyphotometer and simulated flow using Lagrangian particles as an approximation for bioluminescent marine plankton taxa...

Angle measurement is an essential component of precision measurement and serves as a crucial prerequisite for high-end manufacturing. It guides the implementation of precision manufacturing and assembly. The current angle measurement methods mainly focus on multiple axes, high precision, and large measurement ranges. This article introduces the technology of angle measurement from the perspectives of single-axis and multi-axis measurement schemes. Firstly, the single-axis measurement scheme is primarily achieved through optical methods, such as encoder discs that measure energy changes and interferometric phase changes, as well as mechanical, electromagnetic, and inertial angle measurement methods, among which interferometric methods offer the highest accuracy, with high cost, and encoder discs provide the largest measurement range with an ordinary price...

Bamboo scrimber is acknowledged for its eco-friendly potential as a structural material. Its properties are significantly affected by both its density and resin content, but the effect of resin content on the properties under high density is not yet known. In this study, the microstructure, water resistance, mechanical properties, and thermal stability of bamboo scrimbers with varying resin content at a density of 1.30 g/cm3 were investigated. The results unearthed that phenolic resin assisted in the densification of bamboo cells during hot pressing, and a higher resin content could effectively reduce the cracks in the scrimber...
