This work investigates direction control and path following of a 3-D snake-like robot. In order to control such robots accurately, this work researches the relationships between its phase offsets of pitch joints and directions. A new direction control method is proposed for the robot based on these relationships. An adaptive path-following…[Read more]

Background To investigate the risk factors for enterococcal intra-abdominal infections (EIAIs) and the association between EIAIs and outcomes in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Methods We reviewed retrospectively the records of patients with intra-abdominal infections admitted to the Department of Critical Care Medicine at Nanfang Hospital,…[Read more]

Amazonian (Trichechus inunguis) and West Indian (Trichechus manatus) manatees are aquatic mammals vulnerable to extinction found in the Amazon basin and the coastal western Atlantic. Toll-like receptors (TLR) play a key role in recognizing pathogen-associated molecular patterns using leucine-rich repeats (LRRs). We described the diversity of TLR4…[Read more]

Multivariate analysis showed that a median testosterone ≥50ng/dL was significantly associated with a decrease in bDFS (HR 6.58, 95%CI 1.28-33.76, p=0.03). Time to testosterone recovery after ADT did not correlate with bDFS, MFS, or OS and was not significantly associated with any of the testosterone subgroups.

Our results do not support t…[Read more]
