Summary: After displaced and surgically treated supracondylar humerus fractures in children, most of them experience humeral torsion differences which decrease over time, especially in younger children with severe deformities.

Summary: This study found that surgery for first-line management of primary spontaneous pneumothorax has a greater effect on preventing recurrence than conservative approaches, which might be the optimal choice for juvenile patients.

Summary: The study proposed a clear definition and management pathway for patients with ARCP, and the results showed that a high proportion of patients can be successfully managed conservatively, with only a small percentage requiring surgical intervention.

Summary: Based on the lift-to-drag ratio, this paper proposes a novel correction efficiency coefficient model for the trajectory optimization of a two-dimensional trajectory correction projectile. The research indicates that a smaller correction efficiency coefficient leads to a stronger correction ability. By optimizing the trajectory and canard geometry, the projectile can accurately hit the target and effectively eliminate lateral trajectory swing. The research results provide references for the design of trajectory and canard geometry.

Summary: This study retrospectively collected patients with small (1-3cm) nonfunctional adrenal incidentaloma (NFAI) who received conservative treatment or surgery. The results showed no significant difference in blood pressure, potassium levels, and hormone levels between the two treatment groups at different time points. Surgical treatment is more effective, but conservative treatment is safer and more economical. Follow-up is necessary after conservative or surgical treatment.

Summary: The increasing reliance of modern science on computer simulation requires appropriate trust in simulation models. Model credibility is not only based on numerical and transformational accuracy, but also on the exploratory use of models and the cognitive interests of model users. This paper characterises credibility as a dynamic, cognitive construct that evolves through interactive, experiential learning.

Summary: The repeated slab approach is the standard to accurately describe surface properties of materials, but for materials with spontaneous polarization, the conventional passivation scheme fails to achieve a charge-neutral surface. The presence of a net surface charge induces a macroscopic electric field, resulting in poor size convergence with respect to slab thickness. A modified passivation method is proposed to account for spontaneous polarization effects and improve convergence with respect to slab thickness, demonstrating robustness and reliability.

Summary: This article explains the development of a program for calculating mathematical models to estimate the weight of aircraft components. The program can calculate various parameters for battery-powered or fuel cell-powered civil transport aircraft. The main goals of the research were to improve the aircraft database, create an effective program for mathematical modeling, and identify technological barriers for battery or hydrogen fuel-cell-powered aircraft concepts.

Summary: There are no age-specific guidelines for the management of spontaneous pneumothorax (SP) in children and adolescents. Treatment varies and is dependent on the center. The role of computed tomography (CT) needs to be defined.

Summary: The research team prepared perovskite films on indium tin oxide substrates using a spin-coating method and studied their amplified spontaneous emission behavior. They designed and fabricated perovskite film-based electrically switchable ASE devices based on a LED device configuration, showing good controllable optoelectronic switching behavior. The photoelectric response of the device can be modulated by different current densities.

Summary: This study describes the real-life antihypertensive therapy for late arterial hypertension (AH) in children after successful repair of coarctation of the aorta (CoA). The study found a high prevalence of uncontrolled AH despite treatment, and the most commonly used antihypertensive drugs were beta-adrenergic receptor blockers and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors.

Summary: Volume correction factors are commonly used to report pollutant emissions from gaseous combustion, but the classical correction formula prescribed by current regulations may produce misleading results when comparing different fuels. This study derives a more generalized correction formula that can be applied to any fuel-oxidizer combination, allowing for a fair comparison of emission behavior. Experimental and numerical examples show that traditional correction terms can lead to misleading perceptions of emission performance, while the extended correction terms provide a common basis for comparison.

Summary: This paper proposes a spatial phase distortion correction scheme based on an intelligent optimization algorithm, which establishes a one-to-one correspondence between the combination of array signals and the system signal-to-noise ratio. The results show that the proposed scheme effectively corrects spatial random phase distortion.

Summary: This study investigated the clinical course and spontaneous remission of IgA nephropathy in adult patients receiving conservative treatment. High rates of remission of hematuria and proteinuria were observed within 3 years after diagnosis, and renal function was well preserved during this period. Conservative treatment for 3 years after diagnosis instead of aggressive treatments was deemed rational based on the study's findings.

Summary: This study investigates the connection between time to appropriate therapy and prognosis in pediatric patients with nosocomial Klebsiella pneumoniae bloodstream infection. The study finds that delayed therapy is associated with poor outcomes, and recommends initiating appropriate antimicrobial therapy within 10.7 hours from the onset of infection.
