Sonographic localisation of lymph nodes suspicious of metastatic breast cancer to surgical axillary levels

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, Volume 72, Issue 1, Page 119-138, March 2025.
Sonographic imaging is used to identify the presence, number and location of malignant lymph nodes. Axillary lymph nodes suspicious of harbouring breast cancer metastasis can be localised to three surgical axillary levels. This paper will unpack the axillary anatomy, muscular sonographic landmarks, surgical axillary lymph node levels and the ...

Motion‐Robust Approach for 4D Cardiac Cine Using 2D Real‐Time Acquisitions and Slice‐to‐Volume Reconstruction

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose 4D cardiac cine is a powerful tool for comprehensive cardiac function assessment; however, current methods rely on regular breathing and are sensitive to bulk motion and arrhythmia. We aim to develop a 4D cardiac cine approach that requires no patient cooperation and is robust to irregular breathing, bulk motion, and cardiac arrhythmia.

Reduced Phrenic CMAP Amplitudes in Obesity Despite Preserved Diaphragm Ultrasound Measures

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Phrenic nerve conduction studies (NCS) are regularly used in the evaluation of neuromuscular respiratory dysfunction; however, the impact of body mass index (BMI) on phrenic compound muscle action potential (CMAP) amplitudes remains poorly characterized. We evaluated the relationship between BMI and phrenic CMAP amplitudes in

Acid Resistant and Highly Silver Selective Membranes Based on Charged Nanoporous 2D‐Materials

Small, EarlyView.
In this work, new membranes based on charged & nanoporous nanosheets with unprecedented selectivity to silver versus a wide range of other metallic ions are reported. Furthermore, a demonstrated and lead specific intralamellar lead pathway is demonstrated. A potential applicability for ubiquitous silver in WEEE is validated.

All‐in‐One Interface Engineering From Bulk to Electrode Toward High‐Performance Micro‐Sized Silicon Anodes

Small, EarlyView.
Microsized silicon (µ‐Si, >1 µm) is one of the ideal anodes for lithium‐ion batteries. In this paper, an integrated co‐carbonization electrode (ICCE) without binder and conductive agent was prepared by precoating a uniform carbon layer on the surface of µ‐Si particles, which significantly improved the electrochemical performance.

Structural capacity of precast concrete walls with openings: A parametric study on connection types and reinforcement ratios

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The structural role of precast concrete walls with openings is often overlooked in design practice due to concerns about reduced stiffness, stress concentration, cracking around openings, and potential unexpected failure modes under seismic loading.

Contribution of dowel action to interfacial shear transfer in flat joints with unbonded posttensioned bars for precast segmental bridges

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Dry joints are widely used in precast segmental bridge construction because they simplify assembly and accelerate erection. Incorporating fasteners crossing flat dry joints represents an innovative configuration for this type of connection.
