Article Abstract
Purpose: This study assessed patient vulnerability following traffic accidents (TAs) in Korea's border area (BA).
Methods: The BA includes cities and counties directly adjacent to the demilitarized zone with North Korea. The rear area (RA) is defined as the area immediately adjacent to the BA. TA data from 2017 to 2021 were obtained from the Traffic Accident Analysis System in Korea. Information on road length, population, number of TAs, injured patients, and fatalities was collected. The number of TAs and fatalities per 1 km of road length and per 100,000 people was calculated. Severity (number of fatalities per 100 TA cases) and lethality (number of fatalities divided by the sum of fatalities and injured patients) were used to assess the vulnerability of each area.
Results: A total of 55,463 TAs were analyzed. Although the RA exhibited higher numbers of TAs and deceased patients per 1 km of road length and per 100,000 people, the BA showed significantly higher fatalities per 100,000 people as well as increased severity and lethality.
Conclusions: The BA is more likely to be associated with death following TAs, despite a lower overall TA incidence compared to the RA. Further analysis is needed to address and mitigate this vulnerability.

Introduction: Anterior glottic webs are epithelium-covered fibrous tissue formations at the anterior commissure, leading to synechiae between the bilateral vocal folds. They manifest with symptoms ranging from hoarseness to airway obstruction. However, treating anterior glottic webs are challenging due to their high recurrence rates.

Introduction: Severe viral infections are common in patients requiring admission to intensive care units (ICU). Furthermore, these patients often have additional secondary or co-infections. Despite their prevalence, it remains uncertain to what extent those additional infections contribute to worse outcomes for patients with severe viral infections requiring ICU admission.

Purpose: In this retrospective study, whether [Ga]Ga-DOTA-FAPI-04 PET/MR imaging biomarkers can predict the progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of patients with advanced pancreatic cancer was investigated.
Methods: Fifty-one patients who underwent [Ga]Ga-DOTA-FAPI-04 PET/MR scans before first-line chemotherapy were recruited. Imaging biomarkers, including the maximum tumor diameter, minimum apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), maximum and mean standardized uptake values (SUV and SUV), fibroblast activation protein- (FAP-) positive tumor volume (FTV and W-FTV) and total lesion FAP expression (TLF and W-TLF), were recorded for primary and whole-body tumors.

The evaporation of surfactant-laden sessile droplets has widespread applications in both natural and technological contexts. This study explores the evaporation of droplets containing a nonionic surfactant (tristyrylphenol ethoxylates (EOT)), an anionic surfactant (sodium benzenesulfonate with alkyl chain lengths of C-C (NaDDBS)), and their mixtures at / mole ratios of 0.01, 0.
