A diesel bus was tested with a China City Bus Cycle (CCBC) on a heavy chassis dynamometer, and the components of the particulate emissions with different after-treatment equipment were investigated. Results showed that OC was less than EC in the particulates of the bus emissions without the use of after-treatment equipment. The organic components were mainly fatty acids (60.9%) and -alkanes (32.4%), with a few hopanes and PAHs. Fatty acid components were mainly C, C, C, and C. The -alkanes were mainly C-C, with CH and CH accounting for the greatest portion. PAH mass was concentrated in medium and small molecular weight components, such as Pyr, FL, and PA. While PAH toxicity was dominated by medium and high molecular weight components, BaP was the most toxic, followed by B(b+k)F, BaA, and IcdP. The total toxicity of the PAHs decreased by 2.7% after DOC treatment and continued to decrease by 89.6%-93.8% after CDPF treatment. After-treatment equipment significantly reduced the OC+EC emissions by 18.9% (DOC) and 70.5%-72.5% (CDPF), but the reduction rate varied from one component to another. The different precious metal loadings of the CDPF did not obviously affect the reduction rate.

Introduction: anatomical deformities such as developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) and Perthes disease represent a challenge for reconstruction. The use of 3D-printed models can be helpful for assessing the deformity, bone mass, implant size, and orientation.
Objectives: to prospectively evaluate the outcomes of 3D simulation in primary total hip arthroplasty.

Balance is a critical component of daily activities and overall quality of life. This study aims to develop a cost-effective exercise system for the rehabilitation of balance disorders by combining a sensor module with target-oriented video games. The system, designed using a microcontroller-controlled sensor module and Unity game engine, features a game component that provides visual feedback and is synchronized with the platform movements.

The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of a thermomechanical device (Buzzy, Pain Care Labs) for reducing pain associated with an IANB for pediatric dental patients.
Methods: A total of 30 children, 5 to 8 years of age undergoing bilateral mandibular dental treatment requiring IANBs, were included in this randomized crossover study.

We report a 64-year-old woman who developed symptomatic vasospasm on postoperative day 7 after clipping of an unruptured right middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysm. Imaging revealed right MCA vasospasm, which resolved with oral antiplatelets and intravenous vasodilators. She was discharged without neurological deficits.
