Calculation of the Hinge Moments of a Folding Wing Aircraft during the Flight-Folding Process by Hao Xu, Jinglong Han, Haiwei Yun, Xiaomao Chen

“…Most previous studies on this problem have adopted steady-state or quasi-steady-state methods, which do not simulate the free-flying morphing process. In this study, we construct an aeroelastic flight simulation platform based on the secondary development of ADAMS software to simulate the flight-folding process of a folding wing aircraft. …”

Tumor Differentiation is the Dominant Prognostic Factor for Patients with Colorectal Neuroendocrine Neoplasms with Distant Metastasis by Zhijie Wang, Susheng Shi, Hongchang Ren, Qian Liu

“…Univariate analysis demonstrated that patients with a primary tumor located in the colon, ulcerative tumors and poorly differentiated tumors were at higher risk for poorer progression-free survival (PFS) and OS. However, only histological differentiation was identified as an independent factor affecting OS (hazard ratio (HR) = 8.28, 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.98–23.01, P<0.001) in multivariate analysis. …”

A Study to Compare the Analgesic Efficacy of Intrathecal Bupivacaine Alone with Intrathecal Bupivacaine Midazolam Combination in Patients Undergoing Elective Infraumbilical Surgery by Anirban Chattopadhyay, Souvik Maitra, Suvadeep Sen, Sulagna Bhattacharjee, Amitava Layek, Sugata Pal, Kakali Ghosh

“…Each patient in group “B” received hyperbaric bupivacaine 12.5 mg along with 0.4 mL of normal saline in the subarachnoid block, and patients of group “BM” received 12.5 mg hyperbaric bupivacaine along with preservative free midazolam 0.4 mL (2 mg). We found that use of midazolam as adjuvant with the local anesthetic in spinal anaesthesia significantly increases the duration of analgesia (median 320 min versus 220 min) and motor block (median 255 min versus 195 min) but decreases the incidence of postoperative nausea-vomiting (PONV).…”
