Revealing the mechanism of crystal orientation-dependent surface morphology and topography evolution in single-crystal ZnO using nanoindentation

Materials & Design
Single-crystal zinc oxide (ZnO) is an important optoelectronic material, but its micro/nanoscale mechanical behavior is poorly understood. In this study, nanoindentation tests were performed on various crystalline planes of ZnO crystals using a Berkovich

Comparative Effectiveness and Safety of Inebilizumab Versus Rituximab in AQP4‐IgG‐Positive NMOSD

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Rituximab (anti‐CD20, RTX) and inebilizumab (anti‐CD19, INE) represent B‐cell‐depleting therapies used for aquaporin‐4 antibody‐positive (AQP4‐IgG+) neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD); however, direct comparative evidence remains limited.

Uncovering G Protein‐Coupled Receptors: Novel Targets and Biomarkers for Predicting Glioma Prognosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Low‐grade gliomas (LGG) exhibit significant heterogeneity and recurrence risk. G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCR) contribute to glioma malignant progression, but their prognostic value remains unclear. This work attempts to formulate a GPCR‐based outcome‐predicting model for LGG. Methods Based on TCGA LGG data, the enrichment scores

Optimization of Surface Configuration in IRS-Aided MIMO-VLC: A BER Minimization Approach

IEEE Photonics Journal
Due to its ability to reconfigure the optical channel, intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) has revealed its great potential for enhancing the performance of visible light communication (VLC) systems. In this paper, we apply a mirror array-based IRS in typical multiple-input multiple-output based VLC (MIMO-VLC) systems and optimize the IRS ...

Pain and Patient‐Reported Physical Function Did Not Differ Among Body Composition Profiles in Patients With Hip Osteoarthritis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective To explore whether higher body fat and lower lean mass are associated with greater pain and worse patient‐reported physical function in individuals with hip osteoarthritis (OA). A secondary aim was to examine whether pain and patient‐reported physical function differ according to four body composition profiles: high body fat, low lean mass ...
