ABSTRACT Aims To determine the prevalence and characteristics of urinary catheter blockage in older patients using objective indicators and to characterize obstructive materials and microbiota. Design A cross‐sectional study. Methods Patients aged ≥ 65 years with an indwelling catheter for ≥ 24 h were recruited from a long‐term care hospital.

ABSTRACT A 10‐year‐old spayed female Shih Tzu was evaluated for a gallbladder mass incidentally identified during a diagnostic workup for hyperadrenocorticism and persistent hypercalcemia. Diagnostic imaging revealed a vascularized intraluminal gallbladder mass, and cytologic examination showed cohesive clusters of epithelial cells with distinct ...

Non‐Equilibrium Synthesis of Whitlockite Assisted by Localized H2O Vapor Pressure
A carbon substrate acts as a microheater during intense pulsed light irradiation, enabling rapid heating and cooling for whitlockite formation. In contrast to conventional white ceramic synthesis with weak photothermal response, this platform concentrates thermal energy locally and promotes phase‐selective crystallization under ultrafast ...
