Growth of Infants with Intestinal Failure or Feeding Intolerance Does Not Follow Standard Growth Curves by Danielle L. Morton, Keli M. Hawthorne, Carolyn E. Moore

“…Growth data were compared to Olsen growth curves to determine exact percentiles. Results. Data from infants (n=164) revealed that average growth velocities of 3-month-old infants (weight gain, 19.97 g/d; length, 0.81 cm/week; head circumference, 0.52 cm/week) fluctuated and all were below expected norms. …”

Experimental Evaluation of Precise Placement with Pushing Primitive Based on Cartesian Force Control by Jinseong Park, Jeong-Jung Kim, Doo-Yeol Koh

“…In this paper, a pushing primitive incorporating force feedback control is applied to ensure that the gripper is consistently positioned at the edge of the grasped object regardless of the initial grasping position by utilizing the surrounding environment of the processing machine. Modeling the exact contact friction between the gripper and the grasped object is challenging; therefore, instead of relying on a motion planning approach, we addressed the problem using a control method that leverages feedback from the external force information of the robot manipulator. …”

Significance of histopathological features in the diagnosis of Budd–Chiari syndrome on liver biopsies by Pallavi Prasad, Anurag Singh, Alka Singh, Prabhaker Mishra, Narendra Krishnani

“…Statistical Analysis Used: The continuous variables were compared using the Mann–Whitney U-test, and categorical variables were compared using the Fisher-exact test. Results: The common histopathological findings were the presence of red blood cells in the space of disse (100%), peri-portal fibrosis (97.1%), sinusoidal dilation (97.1%), portal inflammation (67.6%), centrilobular necrosis (61.8%) and pericellular/sinusoidal fibrosis (61.8%). …”

A linear hydraulic fracture with tortuosity and fluid–slip at the fluid–rock interface by M.R.R. Kgatle-Maseko, T.L. Vetezo

“…A comparison of a fracture with zero fluid–slip velocity at the fractures walls and that of non-zero fluid–slip velocity at fracture walls gives a relation of the fluid–slip velocity and the half-width. An exact analytical solution of a fracture propagating with constant volume is derived. …”

More than Just Pneumonia: Acute Pulmonary Embolism in Two Middle-Aged Patients with COVID-19 by Jahinover Mazo, Sukhdev Singh, Zohaib Khan, Allison Foster, Ecaterina Komarnitsky, Abhiram Nagaraj, Soham Patel, Vinaya Kikkeri

“…The discussion of a hypercoagulable state induced by coronavirus disease 19 has been well documented; however, the exact mechanisms remain unknown. We suspect that a prothrombotic inflammatory response provoked by coronavirus disease could be the culprit, acting as an additive effect on middle-aged patients with known risk factors for venous thromboembolism. …”
