Summary: The study compared HRM and FLIP panometry in predicting esophageal retention, with FLIP panometry showing superior performance over HRM. However, a complementary evaluation involving FLIP panometry, HRM, and TBE may be necessary for accurate diagnosis of esophageal motility disorders.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the prevalence of abnormal esophageal motor patterns in healthy individuals. Results showed that motor abnormalities are infrequent in healthy individuals and consist mainly of ineffective esophageal motility (IEM), with lower proportions when using stringent criteria in the supine position. Thresholds for HRM metrics varied across HRM systems and study positions.

Summary: High resolution manometry (HRM) is the gold standard for assessing esophageal motor function globally, with the Chicago Classification as the modern standard. Constantly evolving, HRM now includes various maneuvers and incorporates impedance for bolus visualization, revolutionizing the evaluation of esophageal motor function.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the etiology of chest pain in achalasia-related esophageal motility disorders and the frequency of persistent chest pain after POEM. The results showed that age, sex, disease duration, and prior treatment were related to the prevalence and severity of chest pain. POEM had satisfactory efficacy, but residual pain was often observed.

Summary: Solid-state NMR is used to generate CO2 adsorption isotherms, allowing the differentiation between chemi- and physisorbed components and investigation of their respective adsorption mechanisms. The proposed method is validated by comparing with volumetric measurements, and the obtained isotherm curves provide advanced analysis of the sorbents.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between upper esophageal sphincter impedance integral (UESII) and reflux symptom index (RSI) scores, finding that subjects with RSI > 13 had lower UESII. Female gender, UESII cutoff of < 2900 omega s cm, and RSI > 13 were significant predictors of prominent laryngopharyngeal reflux symptoms.

Summary: The physical contact and chemical/electrochemical features of solid-state battery (SSB) interfaces based on inorganic solid electrolytes (SEs) are crucial for the performance of the batteries. Recent studies have demonstrated that SE doping, optimizing morphology, introducing interlayer/coating layer, and utilizing compatible electrode materials can improve the interface issues and enhance the cycling performance of SSBs.

Summary: In this study, we used model quasi-monodisperse HA polymers to investigate the dependence of HA signal characteristics on various SS-nanopore measurement conditions. Our findings provide important insights for improving the signal-to-noise ratio, resolution, and sensitivity of HA analysis with SS-nanopores.

Summary: All-solid-state lithium metal batteries (ASSLMBs) with solid electrolytes (SEs) have higher energy density and safety compared to liquid electrolyte-based Li-ion batteries. This study investigated the effects of stacking pressures on the performance of SEs and ASSLMBs, using Li6PS5Cl solid electrolyte as a reference. The results showed that an appropriate stacking pressure is necessary for optimal performance, and each step of applying pressure requires a specific pressure value.

Summary: External pressure has a significant impact on the cycling performance of solid-state batteries. The addition of Li6PS5Cl (LPSCl) outer layers on Li10GeP2S12 (LGPS) can achieve stable cycling over a long period. Under 7.5 MPa external pressure, the growth rate of interfacial resistance is reduced and the cycle life is extended.

Summary: Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with solid-state LiDAR sensors are effective for reconstructing topography. Through testing different flying parameters and applying suitable processing workflows, accurate digital elevation models (DEMs) can be generated. UAV solid-state LiDAR has good penetration capabilities for sparse vegetation, but is less effective for dense ground-hugging vegetation. It offers advantages over comparable geomatics technologies for large-scale surveys.
