AN ULTRASOUND-GUIDED PERCUTANEOUS ELECTRICAL NERVE STIMULATION REGIMEN DEVISED USING FINITE ELEMENT MODELING PROMOTES FUNCTIONAL RECOVERY AFTER MEDIAN NERVE TRANSECTION

Percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation of an injured nerve can promote and accelerate peripheral nerve regeneration and improve function.When performing acupuncture and moxibustion, locating the injured nerve using ultrasound before percutaneous nerve stimulation can help prevent further injury to an already injured nerve.However, stimulation pa

Periodic inspections are necessary in maintaining concrete infrastructures.As efficient and low-cost inspection methods, visual inspection robots and hammering inspection robots to detect cracks and internal defects have been developed, respectively.However, these robots can perform only a single task.To realize multiple tasks by a robot, multiple

Abstract Water chestnut (Trapa L.) is a floating-leaved aquatic plant with high edible and medicinal value.In this study, we presented chromosome-level genome assemblies of cultivated large-seed species Trapa bicornis and its wild small-seed relative Trapa incisa by using PacBio HiFi long reads and Hi-C technology.The T.bicornis and T.incisa assemb

Background: Fingertip is the most commonly injured area of the hand.The two most commonly advocated flaps for fingertip reconstructions are cross finger flap and thenar flap.There is another flap, raised from the middle of the palm, midway between thenar and hypothenar eminence, called the mid palmar flap which never became popular because of inher

Abstract Background The study was conducted to find out the candidate microRNA (miRNA) and genes that associated with sperm motility of Yili goose through small RNA sequencing of testicular tissue of Yili goose, and provide a theoretical basis for the study of the regulation mechanism of sperm motility of Yili goose gander.Results In this study, fi
