Magneto-mechano-electric (MME) generators with high-power density and long lifespan have emerged as a promising solution for deploying self-powered wireless sensor networks (WSNs) by capturing 50/60 Hz frequency stray magnetic fields around power cables. However, the piezoelectric ceramics applicable to low-frequency magnetic field energy harvesting technology still require further elucidation to maximize the power generation and sustainability of MME generators. In this study, the effects of physical and electrical properties of four different piezoelectric ceramics (PZT-4, PZT-5H, PZT-51, and PZT-8) on the power density and lifespan of MME generators are investigated by finite element analysis and experiments. Attributed to the high piezoelectric coefficient, low impedance, and low Young's modulus of the piezoelectric ceramics, the MME generator based on PZT-5H piezoelectric ceramic achieves a power density up to 0.268 mW cm Oe and an excellent lifespan of 1.13 × 10 cycles under 1 Oe magnetic field excitation. Furthermore, the MME generator based on PZT-5H piezoelectric ceramic demonstrates robust practical application by harvesting stray magnetic fields around a 5 A current power cable, enabling continuous power supply for a wireless sensing system. This work provides piezoelectric material optimization strategies for designing high-performance MME generators, accelerating the commercialization progress of self-powered WSNs.

In 2022, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updated opioid prescribing guideline to emphasize use of non-addictive pharmacotherapies or nonpharmacologic procedures in place of or as an aid in starting the lowest feasible opioid dosage. However, the impact of nonpharmacologic pain management utilization on concurrent or subsequent opioid therapy dosing remains unexplored. We described patterns of nonpharmacologic pain management utilization prior to initial dose level in patients starting long-term opioid therapy.

As semiconductor manufacturing advances into the angstrom-scale era characterized by three-dimensional integration, conventional metrology technologies face fundamental limitations regarding accuracy, speed, and non-destructiveness. Although optical spectroscopy has emerged as a prominent research focus, its application in complex manufacturing scenarios continues to confront significant technical barriers. This review establishes three concrete objectives: To categorize AI-optical spectroscopy integration paradigms spanning forward surrogate modeling, inverse prediction, physics-informed neural networks (PINNs), and multi-level architectures; to benchmark their efficacy against critical industrial metrology challenges including tool-to-tool (T2T) matching and high-aspect-ratio (HAR) structure characterization; and to identify unresolved bottlenecks for guiding next-generation intelligent semiconductor metrology.

Background: Evaluation of medial meniscal extrusion (MME) under physiological loads is crucial because of the influence of MME on meniscal function. Reducing the MME is essential for meniscal function. Few studies have compared the extent of MME in cases of complete radial tears of the posterior segment of the medial meniscus (MM) treated using basic meniscal repair techniques: the inside-out and all-inside techniques.

Objective: To evaluate the relationship between ultrasound (US) findings and radiographic Kellgren-Lawrence (K/L) grades, symptom severity, and the presence of generalized osteoarthritis (GOA) in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA), and to identify key US parameters associated with OA severity.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 166 patients (332 knees) with radiographically confirmed knee OA. US assessments included medial and lateral meniscus extrusion (MME, LME), suprapatellar effusion, synovitis, femoral cartilage thickness (FCT), femoral cartilage lesions, Baker's cyst, pes anserine bursitis, patellar tendinopathy, and Hoffa's fat pad pathology.
