MRI Morphological Features for Assessing Lymph Node Restaging in Rectal Cancer After Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy.

Rationale And Objectives: Accurate lymph node (LN) restaging after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) is critical for guiding subsequent treatment decisions in patients with rectal cancer. The currently recommended European Society of Gastrointestinal and Abdominal Radiology (ESGAR) method has shown limited accuracy. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of specific MRI morphological features for LN restaging post-nCRT and to develop a reliable, clinically applicable imaging-based assessment method.

Energy-efficient and reliable dual closed-loop DC control system for intelligent electric vehicle charging infrastructure.

This study presents an innovative dual closed-loop DC control system for intelligent electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, designed to address the challenges of high power factor, low harmonic pollution, and high efficiency in EV charging applications. The research implements a three-level Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) rectifier with a diode-clamped topology and Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs), achieving a power factor of 0.99, a total harmonic distortion (THD) of 1.

Research progress of cell treatment strategy in Parkinson's disease.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurological disorder that often affects middle-aged and elderly people. It is primarily characterized by the degeneration of dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the ventral midbrain. Clinical therapy mostly relies on the holistic approach of pharmaceutical intervention and surgical procedures.

Presence of nontarget prey, Tetranychus truncatus, affected the predation by Neoseiulus bicaudus on Tetranychus turkestani.

Neoseiulus bicaudus (Wainstein) (Acari: Phytoseiidae) is a generalist predatory mite that consumes several pest species, including Tetranychus turkestani (Ugarov et Nikolskii) (Acari: Tetranychidae) in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. The release numbers of predatory mites are based on the populations of target pests and their ability to control them. Populations of T.
