Article Abstract

Objective: To develop an automatic test tube classification and storage device that sorts test tube boxes by detecting the box height and test tube cap color, improving laboratory efficiency and accuracy.

Methods: An upper computer uses a No. 1 push rod to allocate test tube boxes to specific branch conveyor belts based on initial sorting criteria. Further sorting is done by the No. 2 push rod, which places boxes into adjustable slots within a seven-layer elevating storage system, categorizing them by day through height adjustment to match the conveyor belt.

Conclusion: This invention automates test tube sorting and storage, aiding medical staff in quickly and accurately locating test tubes post-inspection.

Carbapenem-resistant organisms (CRO) have rapidly spread worldwide in recent years, posing a significant challenge to both human health and healthcare systems. Timely and accurate detection of CRO, especially carbapenemase-producing and non-fermenters, is crucial for clinical prevention and treatment of these infections. In the present study, we subjected more than 114 multidrug-resistant Gram-negative and non-fermenters to two tests for the timely detection of carbapenemases.

Prognostic models for radiation-induced complications after radiotherapy in head and neck cancer patients.

Background: Radiotherapy is the mainstay of treatment for head and neck cancer (HNC) but may induce various side effects on surrounding normal tissues. To reach an optimal balance between tumour control and toxicity prevention, normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) models have been reported to predict the risk of radiation-induced side effects in patients with HNC. However, the quality of study design, conduct, and analysis (i.

Traditionally, clinical devices are designed, tested and improved through lengthy and expensive laboratory experiments and clinical trials [1]. More recently, computational methods have allowed for rapid testing, speeding up the design process and enabling far more complete searches of design space. While computational models cannot fully capture the complexities of biological systems, they provide valuable insights into crucial underlying mechanisms, such as the effects of fluid-structure interactions (FSIs).

Introduction: Pediatric endotracheal intubation is challenging due to airway anatomical differences. Accurate endotracheal tube (ETT) sizing is crucial for effective ventilation and preventing complications. Traditional age, weight, or height-based methods are often unreliable, leading to multiple attempts.

Dopaminergic neurons in the dorsal raphe nucleus may modulate social dominance in mice.

Social hierarchies are central to the organizational structure of group-living species, shaping individual physiology, behavior, and social interactions. Dopaminergic (DA) systems, particularly within the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and dorsal raphe nucleus (DR), have been linked to motivation and competitive behaviors, yet their region-specific contributions to social dominance remain insufficiently defined. This study investigated the role of VTA and DR DA neurons in regulating social dominance in sexually naïve male C57BL/6J mice.
