Abstract Using an optical interferometric technique, the grease film distribution under a pure rolling reciprocating motion is observed on a ball-disk test rig, to explore the transient response of grease, which is expected to fill the contact with thickener fiber and run for a long time under steady-state conditions.It is found that the reciprocat
Purpose: To assess accuracy, the frequency of hemorrhagic complications and computed tomography (CT) radiation dose parameters in pediatric patients undergoing landmark-guided external ventricular drain (EVD) placement in an emergency setting.Methods: Retrospective analysis comprised 36 EVD placements with subsequent CT control scans in 29 patients
Gut microbial alteration is closely associated with brain disorders including cognitive impairment (CI).Gut microbes have the potential to predicate the development of diseases.However, the gut microbial markers for CI remain to be elucidated.In this study, the gut microbial alterations were assessed using16S rRNA sequencing, and identified the gut
Objective: Genicular artery embolization (GAE) is a novel, minimally invasive procedure for treatment of knee osteoarthritis (OA).This meta-analysis investigated the safety and effectiveness of this procedure.Design: Outcomes of this systematic review with meta-analysis were technical success, knee pain visual analog scale (VAS; 0–100 scale), WOM
