When two entangled qubits, each owned by Alice and Bob, undergo separate decoherence, the amount of entanglement is reduced, and often, weak decoherence causes complete loss of entanglement, known as entanglement sudden death. Here we show that it is possible to apply quantum measurement reversal on a single-qubit to avoid entanglement sudden death, rather than on both qubits. Our scheme has important applications in quantum information processing protocols based on distributed or stored entangled qubits as they are subject to decoherence.

Background: Umbilical cord hemorrhage (UCH) is a rare but catastrophic obstetric emergency associated with nearly 50% fetal mortality, and its precise pathogenic mechanisms remain elusive in clinical practice. The pathophysiological cascade involves hemorrhagic expansion from ruptured umbilical vessels predominantly the umbilical vein which generates compressive forces on adjacent umbilical arteries within the constrained Wharton's jelly. This acute vascular compromise precipitates the sudden cessation of fetoplacental circulation, culminating in irreversible hypoxic-ischemic injury.

We search for robust stationary bipartite and tripartite entanglements by optimizing optomechanical parameters while revealing the mechanism for generating entangled states by non-Hermitian spectrum. Maximum photon-phonon and exciton-phonon bipartite entanglements appear at the cross points of real eigenvalues in the non-Hermitian spectrum, while photon-exciton bipartite entanglements and tripartite entanglements are related to the breaking of parity-time symmetry.

Background: This study aimed to estimate population-based frequencies of various fetal heart rate (FHR) evolution patterns in cases with umbilical cord abnormalities and to identify particular FHR evolution patterns associated with different types of umbilical cord abnormalities.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study. FHR evolution patterns, evaluating the trend of all FHR tracings from admission to delivery, were retrospectively analyzed and classified into five categories: persistent non-reassuring (p-NR), persistent bradycardia, Hon's pattern, reactive-prolonged deceleration (PD), and persistent reassuring.

We develop a method to calculate generic time-dependent correlation functions for inhomogeneous quantum quenches in (1+1)-dimensional conformal field theory (CFT) induced by sudden Hamiltonian deformations that modulate the energy density inhomogeneously. Our Letter particularly focuses on the effects of spatial boundaries, which have remained unresolved by previous analytical methods. For generic postquench Hamiltonian, we develop a generic method to calculate the correlations by mirroring the system, which otherwise are Euclidean path integrals in complicated spacetime geometries difficult to calculate.

Background: Left ventricular (LV) rupture is an extremely rare but possible complication after mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER). We describe a delayed LV rupture after M-TEER that was successfully treated with surgical repair.
Case Summary: An 83-year-old Asian male with congestive heart failure was referred for treatment of severe mitral regurgitation (MR) due to A1/A2 segment prolapse with abnormally hypertrophied anterior papillary muscle.
