ABSTRACT Objective While paraspinal muscle degeneration is closely linked to lumbar disc herniation (LDH), the relationship between radicular compression and paraspinal muscle degeneration remains controversial, and evid...

Abstract Medical images are inherently high-resolution and contain locally varying structures that are crucial for diagnosis. Efficient compression of such data must therefore preserve diagnostic fidelity while minimizin...

Background: Humeral shaft fractures account for approximately 3 % of all fractures and exhibit a bimodal age distribution. Dynamic compression plating (DCP) and locked compression plating (LCP) are two principal methods...

Study objective: To evaluate whether impaired ventriculo-aretrial interaction characterizes chronic ischemic heart disease (CIHD) caused by stable chronic obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD), using wave intensity a...

Numerous seismic damage investigations have demonstrated that reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures tend to exhibit a Strong-beam Weak-column failure mechanism, which contradicts the intended Strong-column Weak-beam ...

ABSTRACT Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is a leading global cause of low back pain, with abnormal mechanical stress being a central contributing factor. However, the molecular mechanisms through which mechanical...

Understanding how laser pulses compress solids into high-energy-density states requires diagnostics that simultaneously resolve macroscopic geometry and nanometer-scale structure. Here we present a combined X-ray imaging...

Wood is a natural material widely used in construction. Unlike artificial building materials, wood is characterized by natural defects (flaws) that can negatively affect its performance under load. This study proposes a ...

Abstract This study investigates the compressive behavior and analytical modeling of natural and rubberized concretes confined with cost-effective glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) jackets. Forty-two cylindrical spec...

The remarkable success of large language models (LLMs) in code generation has transformed software development, with systems like Codex, CodeGen, and StarCoder demonstrating strong capabilities in synthesizing functional...

Abstract Utilization of industrial waste to produce geopolymer concrete is a good answer to minimize the carbon-dioxide( Co2) released from the traditional procedure of producing Ordinary Portland cement (OPC). This not ...

Abstract Objective and study design A retrospective study analyzes the validity of Omar’s sign for the clinical diagnosis of unilateral lumbar foraminal stenosis. Methods This study analyses 800 patients having unilate...

Abstract Background Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disorder marked by spinal ossification that leads to progressive thoracolumbar kyphosis (TLK). We previously introduced vertebral body compression...

Abstract Rapid urbanization often demands the development of infrastructure on challenging soils, necessitating strengthening and improvement. This study explores the application of Sodium Lignosulphonate (LS), a by-prod...

ABSTRACT Objective and Aims Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potentially fatal disease that can be diagnosed with compression duplex ultrasound (CDUS). This study investigated the prevalence, anatomical distribution, and ...

Abstract Background The spine is an uncommon metastatic location from thyroid cancer. Here, we describe our experience with spinal cord compression as presentation of metastatic thyroid carcinoma, including surgical mana...

Abstract Background Paraganglioma (PGL) are rare neuroendocrine tumors arising from extra-adrenal paraganglia. Renal hilar PGLs are exceptionally uncommon in children, and acute renal hypoperfusion with apparent renal at...

Engineering structures built on or within rock masses require a proper characterization of their geomechanical properties. In this context, determining the strength parameters of intact rock is essential. Triaxial compre...

Background: Osteochondroma is the most common benign bone tumour, typically arising from the metaphysis of long bones. While often asymptomatic, osteochondromas can rarely lead to potential vascular complications, partic...

Two adult domestic shorthair cats were evaluated for progressive neurologic deficits caused by spinal cord compression secondary to vertebral osteosarcoma, giant-cell subtype. Feline giant cell osteosarcoma represents a ...

Abstract Background Hyperosmotic shock and the resulting cell volume compression are commonly experienced by organs such as the kidneys, causing rapid formation of hyperosmotic phase separation (HOPS) condensates in the ...

Powder compaction is the most widely used technology to fabricate polymer bonded explosives (PBX), and its parameters significantly influence the structures and mechanical properties of the final products. By conducting ...

Abstract Background Excessive mechanical stress is a major cause of intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD). Macrophages can sense physical signals, but their role in responding to mechanical stress within the disc to ma...

Reversed yield asymmetry, i.e. compressive yield strength (YS) higher than tensile YS, was observed in a highly basal-textured Mg-RE alloy when deformed along the extrusion direction. Pyramidal 〈c + a〉 slip is co...
