Impaired transmission in the corticospinal tract and gait disability in spinal cord injured persons [PDF]

, 2010
Rehabilitation following spinal cord injury is likely to depend on recovery of corticospinal systems. Here we investigate whether transmission in the corticospinal tract may explain foot drop (inability to dorsiflex ankle) in persons with spinal cord ...

Functional Advantage of Central Pancreatectomy Over Distal Pancreatectomy for Benign or Low‐Grade Malignant Tumors: A Comparative Analysis Based on 75‐g Oral Glucose Tolerance Test

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Central pancreatectomy (CP) better preserves postoperative pancreatic endocrine function than distal pancreatectomy for benign or low‐grade malignant tumors. The 75‐g oral glucose tolerance test demonstrated that CP maintained insulin secretion and glucose tolerance, highlighting its clinical advantage as a function‐preserving procedure.

Information Dense and Industry Scalable Accelerated Formation

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
Pulsed formation can reduce lithium‐ion battery formation time by over 50% while maintaining or enhancing performance. Validated on 25 Ah prismatic cells, this industry‐scalable method yields thinner, more homogeneous solid electrolyte interphases (SEIs).

Selective Sequestration of Toxic NOx Gases by P‐Doped Graphene: A Density Functional Theory Study

Advanced Physics Research, EarlyView.
P‐doped graphene (P‐grap) is explored as an NOx sensor through DFT simulations. The analysis of its geometry, binding energies, electronic properties, and atom‐in‐molecule characteristics demonstrates that P‐grap is a selective sensor for NOx among a mixture of various gases.
