Background:.Immediate expander/implant-based breast reconstruction after mastectomy has become more sought after by patients.Although many patients choose this technique due to good aesthetic outcomes, lack of donor site morbidity, and shorter procedure times, it is not without complications.The most reported complications include seroma, infection

Nitrogen is essential for the growth and quality formation of tea plants.Excessive and inefficient use of nitrogen fertilizer leads to cost increases and ecosystem pollution.It is important to improve the nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) for tea plantation.Breeding high-NUE varieties by marker-assisted selection using NUE-associated genes is a viable

In energy harvesting wireless sensor networks (EHWSNs), the energy tension of the network can be relieved by obtaining the energy from the surrounding environment, but the cost on hardware cannot be ignored.Therefore, how to minimize the cost of energy harvesting hardware to reduce the network deployment cost, and further optimize the network perfo

PurposeWe present a case of transmuscular migration of a solid encircling silicone band through all four rectus muscles.ObservationsA 33-year-old male with high myopia presented with a progressively worsening subclinical peripheral rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in his left eye.An encircling silicone band (#240) was placed anterior to the equato

Passive stiffness of the heart is determined largely by extracellular matrix and titin, which functions as a molecular spring within sarcomeres.Titin stiffening is associated with the development of diastolic dysfunction (DD), while augmented titin compliance appears to impair systolic performance in dilated cardiomyopathy.We found that myofibril s
