Robot assisted sentinel lymph node biopsy using indocyanine green combined with carbon nanoparticles staining improved detection rates in breast cancer by Qinbo Wang, Qingyu Yang, Zuxiao Chen, Zongyan Li, Xiaoyan Fu, Yunxiang Luo, Yonghai Guo, Haiyan Li

“…Notably, CNSI staining was negative in two cases within the ICG + CNSI group, while one patient exhibited a false-negative staining pattern. Five instances of effusion and one case involving bleeding were reported; no significant differences emerged concerning postoperative complications, including breast drainage or hospital stay length, significant differences arose within numerical pain rating scale scores when comparing robot-assisted SLN biopsy positive versus negative groups (p = 0.021 < 0.05). …”

Group housing increases alertness and social interaction compared to traditional single stabling in two-year-old sport horse stallions during pretraining by L. Kroschel, F. Pilger, J. Aurich, C. Nagel, C. Aurich

“…Stallions were 24 months old and housed either in a group stable (Group 24, n = 9) or in individual boxes (Box 24, n = 10), or they were 30 months of age and housed in individual boxes (Box 30, n = 10). Cortisol, heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV), body development, injuries and selected behaviour patterns were analysed (1) at transfer from pasture to stable and (2) thereafter, repeatedly during pretraining. …”

Research on Diffusion Patterns of Gas Produced by Energy Storage Lithium Batteries due to Thermal Runaway by LIU Li, SHI Mengzhao, XU Dongyang, TANG Wenbing, HU Yue, JIANG Fengbing

“…The subsequent modeling of cell combustion, combined with experimental data, allows for the accurate correction of the heat release rate curve using a modified dichotomy method. In the numerical simulation stage, the corrected heat release rate curve, along with the large eddy simulation (LES) method, is used to simulate the thermal runaway combustion process of battery modules within containers. …”
