Successful treatment of a keloid on the upper lip by trepanation and radiotherapy: a case report by Xianghui Li, Yong Wei, Zhuren Ruan, Gao Wei, Zhijian Yao

“…Traditional treatments, such as intralesional injections, laser therapy, and surgical excision, have shown limited efficacy and are associated with high recurrence rates.Materials and methods: In a recent case, a 19-year-old male with a keloid on the upper lip did not respond to local injections of triamcinolone acetonide (TAC) or carbon dioxide ablative fractional resurfacing laser therapy.Results: A combined treatment approach involving trepanation and superficial radiotherapy successfully flattened the keloid tissue, with no recurrence observed during a 3-year follow-up period.Conclusions: This case underscores the potential efficiency and safety of combined therapeutic interventions and contributes valuable evidence towards the development of novel treatment strategies for keloids.…”

Femtosecond laser polishing of pure copper surfaces with perpendicular incidence by Emmanuel Loubère, Nada Kraiem, Aofei Mao, Sébastien Preaud, Andrzej Kusiak, Amélie Veillère, Jean-François Silvain, Yong Feng Lu

“…In contrast to other polishing techniques, laser polishing offers a flexible and non-contact solution, thereby avoiding potential external contamination, while enabling a precise selection of processing areas. We investigated the influence of fs laser parameters on surface roughness of pure copper and ablation thickness, focusing on highlighting the importance of fluence and scanning overlap. …”

Green Room – An architectural and urban device for energy efficiency and environmental comfort by Luigi Coccia, Sara Cipolletti, Gianmarco Corvaro

“…Considering the innovation opportunities expressed by the energy transition, also achieved through nature-based regenerative solutions, aimed at reducing consumption and CO2 emissions, the methodology leads to the conceptualisation of the multiscalar spatial device Green Room: a volumetric decrement action associated with vegetative infiltration applied to significant parts of buildings and open spaces in three sample areas of the Adriatic-Mediterranean region. Starting from morphological, typological, and climatic data and managing computational simulation processes, the experiment aims to update design tools at the architectural and urban scale, establishing a relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces to achieve benefits for the environment and people’s well-being.   …”

Îngerul a strigat, „vestind nașterea” (I) by Ana-Maria Bănică

“…Deși textul apare în 1968, când dictatura ceaușistă se afla în plină ascensiune, scriitorul ridiculizează liderii comuniști investiți cu funcția de Mântuitori ai neamului, folosindu-se de parodie, de râsul burlesc, de evenimente aflate la granița dintre reverie și realitate. Astfel, romancierul ascunde critica acerbă la adresa noii ideologii, care nimicește definitiv valorile patriarhale, confruntate cu desacralizarea încă din perioada interbelică, pe fundalul pătrunderii influențelor capitaliste, obsesia îmbogățirii eclipsând forța subliminală a mitului.…”

Uncertainty Estimation in Unsupervised MR-CT Synthesis of Scoliotic Spines by Enamundram Naga Karthik, Farida Cheriet, Catherine Laporte

“…A novel adaptation of the cycle-consistency constraint in CycleGAN is proposed such that the model predicts the aleatoric uncertainty maps in addition to the standard volume-to-volume translation between Magnetic Resonance (MR) and Computed Tomography (CT) data. Ablation experiments were performed to understand uncertainty estimation as an implicit regularizer and a measure of the model's confidence. …”

Research and Design of Flood Discharge and Energy Dissipation Structures of Datengxia Hydro Project by TAN Zhijun, PAN Minghong

“…The design of flood discharge and energy dissipation structures is important and is the primary research problem in the layout of hydro projects,which involves the problems of discharge capacity,cavitation of flow surface,water aeration,and sediment abrasion and scouring of downstream riverbeds.For the Datengxia hydro project,its maximum discharge capacity of flood discharge structures reaches 66,200 m³/s,and the Froude number of energy dissipation structures is low.Therefore,the scheme of bottom outlets for flood discharge and surface outlets for drift discharge is adopted for flood discharge structures,and the underflow energy dissipation mode of the secondary stilling basin is adopted for energy dissipation structures.As flood discharge structures mainly adopt the bottom outlets for flood discharge,and the radial gate bears huge water thrust,the steel beam is selected as the radial gate support,which solves the difficulties in engineering design and provides a reference for similar projects.…”

Activation of glutamatergic neurons in the organum vasculosum of the lamina terminalis induces thirst-driven sniffing by Wei He, Luo Shi, Ziteng Yue, Ke Zhao, Xiaoyi Wang, Kailin Wang, Xinyi Jing, Shangyu Bi, Tianjiao Deng, Xue Zhao, Xiaochen Tian, Xiangchen Ma, Yongqiang Chen, Fang Yuan, Sheng Wang

“…Photostimulation of both OVLTGlut neurons and their axon terminals within the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN) induces robust sniffing. Furthermore, ablation of PVN neurons projecting to the preBötzinger complex not only reduces the sniffing time induced by photostimulation of OVLTGlut neurons projecting to the PVN but also prolongs the drinking latency. …”
