Article Abstract

A fiber Bragg grating (FBG) pressure sensor is proposed, designed, and fabricated for lateral earth pressure sensing, in which the FBG sensor is mounted on a 3D printed trestle structure combined with a membrane. The applied pressure can cause a deformation on the membrane, and then this deformation applied on the trestle structure causes tensile strain on the FBG. The proposed sensor is functionalized as a high-sensitive pressure transducer capable of converting the pressure into strain on the FBG. Here, the performance of the proposed sensor is numerically and experimentally investigated. The results show that the pressure sensitivity at 30°C is 10.62 pm/kPa within a range of 0-0.6 MPa. Due to the thermal expansion of the structure, the pressure sensitivity coefficient decreases with the increase of temperature; however, the cross effect between the temperature and strain on the sensing sensitivity is investigated and can be eliminated. The fabricated sensor has advantages of high sensitivity, good stability, and high pressure resolution, so it has potential in the field of structural health monitoring.

Ionic liquids (ILs) are a class of organic salts with melting points below 100°C. Owing to their unique chemical and physical properties, they are used as solvents and catalysts in various chemical transformations, progressively replacing common volatile organic solvents (VOCs) in green synthetic applications. However, their intrinsic ionic nature can restrict the use of mass spectrometric techniques to monitor the time progress of a reaction occurring in an IL medium, thus preventing one from following the formation of the reaction products or intercepting the reaction intermediates.

Unlabelled: Aortic dissection is a life-threatening cardiovascular emergency, particularly Stanford type A, which typically necessitates urgent surgical intervention. Despite advances in surgical techniques and perioperative care, preoperative bleeding and coagulopathy remain significant challenges. Tranexamic acid, an antifibrinolytic agent, is widely used to minimize perioperative bleeding in cardiovascular surgeries; however, its role in the non-surgical, preoperative stabilization of aortic dissection has not been well established.

Background: The objective of this study was to compare the effects of daily consumption of white potatoes compared with white rice on cardiometabolic health in individuals with type-2 diabetes (T2D).

Objective: To determine the effects of white potato consumption compared to white rice (a commonly consumed refined grain) on indices of glycemic control and cardiovascular health in individuals with overweight or obesity and T2D.

Methods: In this randomized crossover study, comparative control trial, 24 adults with T2D [45-80 y, body mass index (kg/m) 25-40] consumed baked white potatoes (100 g) or calorie-matched white rice (75 g) daily for 12 wk, separated by a 2-wk washout, with assessments of glycemic control, lipids, inflammation, blood pressure, endothelial function, and body composition at baseline (only 1 baseline visit included as a covariate in statistical analyses), 6 wk, and 12 wk.

Surgical outcomes from haematoma evacuation for intracerebral haemorrhage in the INTERACT3 study.

Lancet Reg Health West Pac

September 2025

Department of Neurosurgery, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China.

Background: There is ongoing controversy as to whether surgical intervention to haematoma evacuation benefits patients with acute intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH). This study aimed to evaluate the association of surgical intervention to evacuate the haematoma and 6-month functional outcome in participants of the third Intensive Care Bundle with Blood Pressure Reduction in Acute Cerebral Haemorrhage Trial (INTERACT3).

Methods: This was a secondary analysis of INTERACT3, which enrolled adults (age ≥18 years) spontaneous ICH patients within 6 h after onset.
