This study reports a case of deeply embedded cervical fish bone successfully retrieved by ultrasound-guided endoscopy after open exploration failure, proving this technique is a safe, effective and minimally invasive salvage method.
A new study investigates sigmoid sinus wall reconstruction with bone cement for pulsatile tinnitus, clarifying short‑term symptom fluctuations and self‑limiting recovery patterns, providing a reliable basis for postoperative evaluation and clinical counseling.
Global type 1 diabetes (T1DM) burden among children and adolescents aged 0–19 increased during 1990–2021. Incidence rose from 2.71 to 7.42 per 100,000 and prevalence from 20.75 to 56.59 per 100,000. Mortality and YLLs also increased, indicating worsening fatal outcomes. North America and Europe had the highest incidence and prevalence in 2021. Inequalities widened, with poorer countries bearing a growing and disproportionate burden of T1DM mortality and YLLs.
The plasma membrane is more than a passive boundary. It is organized into dynamic lipid-rich microdomains, often referred to as lipid rafts, that concentrate receptors and signaling molecules. In glioblastoma (GBM), the most aggressive primary brain tumor in adults, the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling is a major oncogenic driver. Yet how tumor cells maintain the membrane platforms that support such proliferative signaling has remained incompletely understood.
Fully stretchable hydrogel-based moisture-electric generators (FSHMEGs) are promising power sources for wearable and implantable electronics. Current FSHMEGs are constrained by low electrical output and mechanical fragility, mainly due to weak interfacial adhesiveness within multilayered archi- tectures. Here, we introduce an intrinsically adhesive hydrogel that forms robust hydrogel-electrode interfaces, enabling efficient transfer of both electrical charges and mechanical loads during deformation. As a result, the device delivers an open-circuit voltage of 0.94 V and a current density of 141 µA cm−2 at 85% relative humidity, and maintains stable output for more than 220 h. The reinforced interface also imparts exceptional mechanical durability, exhibiting only negligible performance degradation after 8000 folding cycles and 1000 stretching cycles at 80% strain. Benefiting from rapid humidity responsiveness and continuous power delivery, the device enables non-invasive
respiration monitoring and can directly power wearable electronics (e.g., electrocardiogram (ECG) sensors). This interfacial-engineering holds promise for advancing the development of next-generation fully stretchable and flexible energy systems.
