Published: April 2024

Abstract
Background Distal radius (DR) reconstruction due to high-energy trauma, degenerative processes, and oncologic resections can be a challenge when the articular surface is destroyed or resected. This study investigates the possibility of using the cuboid bone of the foot to replace the osteoarticular surface of DR.
Purposes We compared the three-dimensional (3D) morphology of the articular surface of three foot bones with that of the DR to analyze which one would be the most suitable to replace it.
Methods 3D bone models were created from a computed tomography (CT) scan database. The articular surfaces of calcaneus, cuboid bone, and lateral cuneiform bone were compared with that of the DR using the Hausdorff-Besicovitch morphometry analysis. Mean, maximum, and minimum differences were obtained and statistically analyzed.
Results The cuboid bone had a mean overall area difference with the DR of 0.72 mm (standard deviation [SD], 0.03 mm). The lateral cuneiform bone showed 0.89 mm (SD, 0.08 mm). The calcaneus presented 1.04 mm (SD, 0.06 mm). The differences and the variability of the articular surface were statistically lower in the cuboid bone.
Conclusion The articular surface of the cuboid bone has many similarities to the articular surface of the DR and had the most similarities to the DR of the foot bones study. The cuboid bone could be considered as a replacement for the DR in cases where there is a need for osteoarticular replacement or reconstruction. Further investigations are warranted.
Clinical Relevance A vascularized transfer of the cuboid bone may be a suitable option to replace a DR given the anatomical similarities reported.

Authors: Vamsi Krishna Sathya , Gondaliya Nikunj 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Background Axial carpal dislocations (ACDs) are high-impact injuries, involving both proximal and distal carpal rows, adding complexity to the diagnostic and treatment challenges. This article explores a distinctive case of axial radial carpal dislocation, highlighting an irreducible second carpometacarpal joint (CMCJ) and concomitant scapholunate (SL) ligament injury. Understanding the background of axial carpal injuries is crucial for recognizing and addressing these complex cases effectively.
Description A 27-year-old man presented with a left wrist injury following a motorcycle accident, revealing an irreducible second CMCJ with a unique ligamentous injury pattern. Despite unsuccessful closed reduction attempts, the surgical intervention involved a dorsal midline incision, fixation of the second CMCJ and SL interval, and ligament repair. Postoperative assessment demonstrated proper alignment with a mild gap in the SL interval, revealing the intricate nature of the injury.
Literature Review Existing studies describe a type of axial dislocation starting at the third webspace, traveling through capitate–hamate intervals leading to scaphoid dislocation. However, in the article, we describe a variant of ACD through second CMCJ causing an SL interval instability.
Clinical Relevance Recognizing and comprehensively addressing axial radial carpal dislocations are crucial for optimal patient outcomes. The case report contributes valuable insights into the rare pattern of ACD involving SL instability that was missed on initial radiographs but detected through computed tomography scan and thereby managed appropriately. Any CMCJ dislocation should raise a suspicion of axial dislocation unless proved otherwise.

Authors: Byrne Louise , McCarthy Cormac , Fabre Aurelie , Gupta Nishant 
Published: April 2024

AbstractSjögren's disease (SjD) is a chronic, progressive autoimmune condition of exocrine and extraglandular tissues. It can present with isolated disease characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of salivary or lacrimal glands, but in approximately one-third of the patients, lymphocytic infiltration extends beyond exocrine glands to involve extraglandular organs such as the lungs. Pulmonary complications have been reported to occur between 9 and 27% of patients with SjD across studies. Respiratory manifestations occur on a spectrum of severity and include airways disease, interstitial lung disease, cystic lung disease, and lymphoma. Lung involvement can greatly affect patients' quality of life, has a major impact on the overall prognosis, and frequently leads to alteration in the treatment plans, highlighting the importance of maintaining a high index of clinical suspicion and taking appropriate steps to facilitate early recognition and intervention.

Authors: Song Guanghao , Wang Yangbin , Zhang Lilei , Xia Mao 
Published: April 2024

Background Hemophilia A (HA) is an inherited bleeding disorder caused by a deficiency or defect in factor VIII (FVIII).
Methods We investigated the role of clot waveform analysis (CWA) of activated partial thromboplastin time in the diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring of HA. The changes in CWA parameters the maximum clotting velocity (|Min1|), maximum clotting acceleration (|Min2|), and maximum clotting deceleration (|Max2|) were detected among mild, moderate, and severe HA groups.
Results As the severity of HA subtypes increased, the levels of |Min1|, |Min2|, and |Max2| progressively decreased (p < 0.05). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that |Max2| and |Min2| were more effective than |Min1| in distinguishing different types of HA patients, with higher diagnostic efficacy. The standard curves based on Actin FSL reagent for normal and low levels of FVIII:C-|Max2| were established, with R2 values of 0.98 and 0.99, respectively. These curves can be utilized for monitoring during replacement therapies involving full-length recombinant FVIII and B-domain-deleted FVIII. Thirty cases of HA patients utilized the FVIII-|Max2| standard curve to obtain individual pharmacokinetics characteristic parameters. The clearance, half-life (t1/2), time to FVIII:C of 1% above baseline (tt1%), and predicted dosage showed no statistically significant differences compared with one-stage assay (p > 0.05).
Conclusion CWA is an economical and practical tool, and its related parameters are associated with the severity of HA. It has promising clinical prospects in predicting FVIII:C levels and individualized treatment when HA patients undergo replacement therapy.

Abstract
Background The outcomes in pituitary surgery have dramatically changed over the past 130 years. Endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal approaches are now an accepted method for operating on pituitary tumors, a skillset which takes time to develop. The Australian health care framework provides a unique mixture of public and private care for a geographically dispersed population. In this article, we aim to examine how outcomes for patients in South Australia changed as endoscopic pituitary surgery was adopted and how the Australian health care framework influenced the development of a skull base team.
Methods The case notes of all patients undergoing pituitary surgery between 2006 and 2020 in South Australia. All patients treated by this author group were included.
Results A total of 428 pituitary adenomas were surgically treated. Overall, 182 out of 249 patients (70%) had a complete resection with no recurrence at follow-up, and 49 patients (19%) had a residual that was observed and did not require treatment. Therefore, 89% of patients between the years 2006 and 2020 did not require any further treatment following their pituitary surgery. Upon examination of the 142 patients with functional adenomas, 112 (79%) patients had no recurrence in hormonal dysfunction following surgery, and the remaining 30 (21%) patients required further treatment.
Conclusion We have demonstrated that acceptable outcomes can be achieved in a low-to-moderate volume setting across multiple hospitals when a coordinated effort is made to consolidate these cases within a small group of subspeciality-trained surgeons, as opposed to a more generalist approach.

Published: April 2024

AbstractEntrepreneurship education (EE) has rapidly evolved within higher education and has emerged as a pivotal mechanism for cultivating innovative and entrepreneurial talent. In China, while EE has made positive strides, it still faces a series of practical challenges. These issues cannot be effectively addressed solely through the efforts of universities. Based on the triple helix (TH) theory, this study delves into the unified objectives and practical content of EE in Chinese higher education. Through a comprehensive literature review on EE, coupled with educational objectives, planned behavior, and entrepreneurship process theories, this study introduces the 4H objective model of EE. 4H stands for Head (mindset), Hand (skill), Heart (attitude), and Help (support). Additionally, the research extends to a corresponding content model that encompasses entrepreneurial learning, entrepreneurial practice, startup services, and the entrepreneurial climate as tools for achieving the objectives. Based on a single-case approach, this study empirically explores the application of the content model at T-University. Furthermore, this paper elucidates how the university plays a role through the comprehensive development of entrepreneurial learning, practices, services, and climate in nurturing numerous entrepreneurs and facilitating the flourishing of the regional entrepreneurial ecosystem. This paper provides important contributions in its application of TH theory to develop EE within the Chinese context, and it provides clear guidance by elucidating the core objectives and practical content of EE. The proposed conceptual framework serves not only as a guiding tool but also as a crucial conduit for fostering the collaborative development of the EE ecosystem. To enhance the robustness of the framework, this study advocates strengthening empirical research on TH theory through multiple and comparative case studies.
Improving gas adsorption modeling for MOFs by local calibration of Hubbard U parameters
Authors: Cho Yeongsu , Kulik Heather J. 
Published: April 2024

While computational screening with density functional theory (DFT) is frequently employed for the screening of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) for gas separation and storage, commonly applied generalized gradient approximations (GGAs) exhibit self-interaction errors, which hinder the predictions of adsorption energies. We investigate the Hubbard U parameter to augment DFT calculations for full periodic MOFs, targeting a more precise modeling of gas molecule–MOF interactions, specifically for N2, CO2, and O2. We introduce a calibration scheme for the U parameter, which is tailored for each MOF, by leveraging higher-level calculations on the secondary building unit (SBU) of the MOF. When applied to the full periodic MOF, the U parameter calibrated against hybrid HSE06 calculations of SBUs successfully reproduces hybrid-quality calculations of the adsorption energy of the periodic MOF. The mean absolute deviation of adsorption energies reduces from 0.13 eV for a standard GGA treatment to 0.06 eV with the calibrated U, demonstrating the utility of the calibration procedure when applied to the full MOF structure. Furthermore, attempting to use coupled cluster singles and doubles with perturbative triples calculations of isolated SBUs for this calibration procedure shows varying degrees of success in predicting the experimental heat of adsorption. It improves accuracy for N2 adsorption for cases of overbinding, whereas its impact on CO2 is minimal, and ambiguities in spin state assignment hinder consistent improvements of O2 adsorption. Our findings emphasize the limitations of cluster models and advocate the use of full periodic MOF systems with a calibrated U parameter, providing a more comprehensive understanding of gas adsorption in MOFs.
Static versus dynamically polarizable environments within the many-body GW formalism
Authors: Amblard David , Blase Xavier , Duchemin Ivan 
Published: April 2024

Continuum- or discrete-polarizable models for the study of optoelectronic processes in embedded subsystems rely mostly on the restriction of the surrounding electronic dielectric response to its low frequency limit. Such a description hinges on the assumption that the electrons in the surrounding medium react instantaneously to any excitation in the central subsystem, thus treating the environment in the adiabatic limit. Exploiting a recently developed embedded GW formalism with an environment described at the fully ab initio level, we assess the merits of the adiabatic limit with respect to an environment where the full dynamics of the dielectric response are considered. Furthermore, we show how to properly take the static limit of the environment’s susceptibility by introducing the so-called Coulomb-hole and screened-exchange contributions to the reaction field. As a first application, we consider a C60 molecule at the surface of a C60 crystal, namely, a case where the dynamics of the embedded and embedding subsystems are similar. The common adiabatic assumption, when properly treated, generates errors below 10% on the polarization energy associated with frontier energy levels and associated energy gaps. Finally, we consider a water molecule inside a metallic nanotube, the worst case for the environment’s adiabatic limit. The error on the gap polarization energy remains below 10%, even though the error on the frontier orbital polarization energies can reach a few tenths of an electronvolt.

Published: April 2024

In response to biomedical imperatives, a novel approach is presented for the endovascular management of atherosclerosis. This approach is grounded in the electrohydraulic effect of a precisely controlled low-energy pulse discharge system, coupled with sequential control within the incomplete discharge electrode, to generate shockwaves aimed at softening blood vessels and rupturing calcified plaques. Theoretical analysis encompassed circuit design, control timing, and operational processes, while experimental investigations demonstrated precise control of non-oscillation and incomplete discharge by adjusting key parameters. Utilizing a 3 kV DC high-voltage power supply, a 220 nF capacitor, and two sets of 3.3 Ω resistors in parallel, with pin–plate electrodes as the load for discharge in normal saline, resulted in a 1 kV reduction in voltage across the capacitor and a peak current of 170 A. Energy release occurred through non-oscillatory and incomplete discharge, effectively generating shockwaves with peak pressures of 5–10 MPa at distances of 1–2 mm from the discharge center to treat calcified lesions. Compared with the existing intravascular lithotripsy devices, the shockwave system realizes accurate control of discharge energy by adjusting the turn-off time of incomplete discharge so as to realize accurate control of shockwave energy. Doctors can choose different intensities of shockwaves according to different degrees of calcification in the treatment process so as to minimize the discomfort caused by shockwaves and improve safety. Valuable insights are provided for intravascular lithotripsy devices in engineering.

Authors: Zhao P , Sharma C H , Tiemann L , Blick R H 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Surface acoustic waves, the microcosmic cousins of seismic waves, can be generated and precisely controlled on a microscopic scale by applying a periodic electrical signal to a piezoelectric substrate. Harnessing and exploring their interactions with two-dimensional van der Waals (vdW) systems opens new frontiers in materials science and engineering. As part of a special issue on these guided elastic waves for hybrid nano- and quantum technologies, our review highlights work focusing on acoustically-induced transport phenomena at low temperatures that arise from the interaction between the surface acoustic waves in a piezoelectric substrate and a vdW material on its surface. A main focus is on technological methods to control the carrier concentration in transport and strain-related effects that can act on the carrier motion as an effective magnetic field.

Published: April 2024

Abstract
The dielectric-magnetic matching effect emerges from the presence of dual dielectric relaxation and multiple magnetic resonances. This phenomenon becomes a strategic approach in the quest to enhance microwave absorption performance by optimizing magnetic components. Herein, binary and ternary ferromagnetic alloy with tunable components embedded in carbon skeleton (core/shell) nanocapsules has been successfully fabricated by one step metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. The core/shell structure design introduces numerous interfaces that amplify dielectric loss stemming from polarization. It is important to emphasize that modifying the composition of magnetic core in these nanocapsules effectively regulates the impedance matching characteristics. As a result, the CoFeNi/C nanocapsules demonstrate an optimal reflection loss (RLmin) of −53.6 dB at a thickness of 2.55 mm, alongside an effective absorption bandwidth of 5.92 GHz at a thickness of 2.05 mm, with a filling ratio as low as 20 wt%. This study has provided valuable insights into a promising avenue for fabricating dielectric-magnetic nanocomposites with outstanding microwave attenuation capabilities through the manipulation of composited elements.

collisions. This result deviates from the Standard Model prediction by around 7σ. We explain how the two Higgs doublet model (2HDM) with vector-like quarks (VLQs) is affected by the recently discovered W boson mass. In our study, we include both theoretical constraints such as perturbative unitarity and vacuum stability as well as a number of experimental constraints. We also look into how the effective mixing angle, measured by the SLD collaboration in addition to the CDF W-boson mass, is used to determine the S and T parameters. In the alignment limit, we investigate the case where the lighter CP-even neutral Higgs boson of the 2HDM is the one found at the LHC and demonstrate how the parameter space of the 2HDM type II in the presence of VLQs is constrained. It is found that in most cases, there is a cancellation between the 2HDM and VLQs contributions, which enlarges the parameter space of both models.
Meshless track assimilation (MTA) of 3D PTV data
Authors: Sperotto Pietro , Watz Bo , Hess David 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
We propose a data assimilation algorithm to improve the resolution of 3D particle tracking velocimetry (PTV) data and, as a byproduct, it estimates the pressure field. The proposed method, called meshless tracking assimilation (MTA), does not rely on a mesh to compute derivatives. Instead, it exploits the analytical formulation of the obtained field to extract the gradients of the involved quantities in arbitrary points. MTA actively constraints PTV data points to satisfy the Navier–Stokes equations in both time and space at user-defined spatial locations. Three test cases are investigated. The first one is a synthetic dataset reconstructed from a direct numerical simulation and it serves to ensure that the method is properly implemented and working. The second one is the 2020 data assimilation challenge which gives a qualitative comparison with other data assimilation methods. Finally, MTA is used on a Tomographic PTV experiment of a Jet Flow with

to ensure it can be implemented successfully on experimental data. The first and third test cases show a significant performance boost compared to the classic linear interpolation. This improvement allows for a higher level of structural resolution without sacrificing the temporal and spatial smoothness of the solution. The second test case generally aligns well with other state-of-the-art data assimilation techniques in terms of performance, but there are some noticeable differences.
Dual-path multi-scale attention residual network for fault diagnosis of rolling bearings under complex operating conditions
Authors: Deng Linfeng , Zhang Yuanwen , Zhao Cheng , Wang Guojun 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Rolling bearing faults inevitably occur during the long-term continuous operation of rotating machinery. Therefore, fault diagnosis is greatly important for ensuring the normal and safe operation of rolling bearings. However, the complexity and diversity of working conditions of rolling bearings present a significant challenge in extracting fault characteristics accurately, which further affects the ultimate fault diagnosis results. In this article, we propose a new model, called dual-path multi-scale attention residual network (DPMARN), for diagnosing bearing faults under complex operating conditions. DPMARN can effectively capture the feature-feature correlation information at different scales, which is more beneficial for fusing fault features at different scales to improve the model’s performance. The main contributions of this work are summarized as follows: (1) the designed dual-path network model which incorporates parallel multi-scale branches of convolutional kernels and serially connects skip-layer multi-scale branches can integrate both low-frequency and high-frequency information and enhance the multi-scale feature extraction and complex data representation abilities. (2) The squeeze-and-excitation attention mechanism is embedded into the residual blocks to improve the ability of learning feature correlations and utilizing feature information effectively, which is helpful for extracting important fault characteristics. Extensive experiments conducted on two public bearing datasets demonstrate the superior performance of the DPMARN model for addressing the complex fault diagnosis problem. These results indicate that our proposed approach provides an effective solution for fault diagnosis of rolling bearings under complex operating conditions.
