    Abstract Background: Spontaneous muscle hematoma is a rare complication in hospitalized patients with COVID-19. We present a case of spontaneous pectoral hematoma occurring after COVID-19 infection and anticoagulation therapy.
    Case presentation: A 69-year-old male presented to the hospital with a two-week history of shortness of breath and a one-week history of high fever. Despite testing positive for COVID-19, the patient's symptoms did not improve with two doses of ritonavir-boosted nirmatrelvir (Paxlovid). A chest CT scan revealed pulmonary infection and SpO
    Conclusions: Severe COVID-19 patients undergoing routine therapeutic anticoagulation may experience fatal bleeding complications. The ideal dosage of anticoagulants for these patients remains uncertain, especially in the patient with a background of anticoagulation or dual antiplatelet therapy. We present a case of spontaneous muscle hematoma accompanied by hemorrhagic shock. The notable reduction in hemoglobin levels indicated significant bleeding, which was confirmed through contrast angiography and cured by arterial embolization. This case underscores the importance of additional research to determine the appropriate utilization of therapeutic anticoagulation in severe COVID-19 patients already undergoing antithrombotic therapy.

    Abstract This study aimed to investigate the association between urge urinary incontinence (UUI) and weight-adjusted waist circumference index (WWI), a newly developed measure of obesity. Data from the 2013-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were included in the present cross-sectional study. Urge urinary incontinence was identified by self-reported urine leakage before reaching the toilet. Weighted multivariate logistic regression and generalized additive models were used to investigate the connection between WWI and UUI and its nonlinearity. The nonlinear relationship was explored using smoothed curve fitting. Additionally, further analyses were performed on subgroups and interaction tests were conducted. In the study, a total of 14,118 individuals were enrolled, with a UUI prevalence rate of 21.18%. Overall UUI was more prevalent with elevated WWI (OR 1.20, 95% CI 1.13-12.8, P < 0.0001), which similar results were observed in weekly (OR 1.32, 95% CI 1.18-1.48, P < 0.0001) and daily (OR 1.27, 95% CI 1.06-1.53, P = 0.0091) UUI. And this connection remained steady among all subgroups (P > 0.05 for all interactions). Smoothed curve fitting showed no nonlinear relationship between WWI and UUI. In addition, a stronger correlation was found between WWI and UUI risk than other obesity indicators such as waist circumference (WC) and body mass index (BMI). Among US adults, weight-adjusted waist circumference index values are positively associated with elevated odds of UUI and show stronger associations than WC and BMI. Further studies are required to elucidate the causal relationship between WWI and UUI.

    Abstract The present letter to the editor is related to the review with the title "Past, present, and future of long-term treatment for hepatitis B virus." Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) represents an important and pressing public health concern. Timely identification and effective antiviral therapy hold the potential to reduce liver-related mortality attributable to chronic infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) substantially. However, the current global treatment rates for CHB remain conspicuously low, with the excessively stringent treatment criteria advocated by national CHB guidelines being a contributing factor to these low rates. Nevertheless, recent strides in comprehending this malady and the emergence of novel antiviral agents prompt the imperative re-evaluation of treatment standards to extend the sphere of potential beneficiaries. An impending need arises for a novel paradigm for the classification of patients with CHB, the expansion of antiviral treatment eligibility for HBV-infected individuals, and even the streamlining of the diagnostic process for CHB to amplify cost-effectiveness and augment survival prospects.

    Abstract Polymeric vesicles present great potential in disease treatment as they can be featured as a structurally stable and easily functionalized drug carrier that can simultaneously encapsulate multiple drugs and release them on-demand. Based on the dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulation, the drug-loaded vesicles were designed by the co-assembly process of linear amphiphilic triblock copolymers and hydrophobic nanodrugs in solvents, and most importantly, the drug release behavior of drug-loaded vesicles were intensively investigated. The drug-loaded aggregates, such as vesicles, spherical micelles, and disk-like micelles, were observed by varying the size and concentration of nanodrugs and the length of the hydrophobic block. The distribution of nanodrugs in the vesicles was intensively analyzed. As the size of the nanodrugs increases, the localization of nanodrugs change from being unable to fully wrap in the vesicle wall to the uniform distribution and finally to the aggregation in the vesicles at the fixed concentration of nanodrugs. The membrane thickness of the drug-loaded polymeric vesicle can be increased, and the nanodrugs localized closer to the center of the vesicle by increasing the length of the hydrophobic block. The nanodrugs will be released from vesicles by varying the interactions between the nanodrug and the solvent or the hydrophobic block and the solvent, respectively. We found that the release kinetics conforms to the first-order kinetic model, which can be used to fit the cumulative release rate of nanodrugs over time. The results showed that increasing the size of nanodrugs, the length of hydrophobic block, and the interaction parameters between the hydrophobic block and the solvent will slow down the release rate of the nanodrug and change the drug release process from monophasic to biphasic release model.

    Abstract The strong nuclear force gives rise to the widely studied neutron scattering states and MeV-energy nuclear bound states. Whether this same interaction could lead to low-energy bound states for a neutron in the nuclear force field of a cluster of nuclei is an open question. Here, we computationally demonstrate the existence of μeV-level neutronic bound states originating from the strong interactions in nanocrystals with a spatial extent of tens of nanometers. These negative-energy neutron wave functions depend on the size, dimension, and nuclear spin polarization of the nanoparticles, providing engineering degrees of freedom for the artificial neutronic "molecule".

    Abstract Knowledge distillation-based anomaly detection (KDAD) methods rely on the teacher-student paradigm to detect and segment anomalous regions by contrasting the unique features extracted by both networks. However, existing KDAD methods suffer from two main limitations: 1) the student network can effortlessly replicate the teacher network's representations and 2) the features of the teacher network serve solely as a "reference standard" and are not fully leveraged. Toward this end, we depart from the established paradigm and instead propose an innovative approach called asymmetric distillation postsegmentation (ADPS). Our ADPS employs an asymmetric distillation paradigm that takes distinct forms of the same image as the input of the teacher-student networks, driving the student network to learn discriminating representations for anomalous regions. Meanwhile, a customized Weight Mask Block (WMB) is proposed to generate a coarse anomaly localization mask that transfers the distilled knowledge acquired from the asymmetric paradigm to the teacher network. Equipped with WMB, the proposed postsegmentation module (PSM) can effectively detect and segment abnormal regions with fine structures and clear boundaries. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed ADPS outperforms the state-of-the-art methods in detecting and segmenting anomalies. Surprisingly, ADPS significantly improves average precision (AP) metric by 9% and 20% on the MVTec anomaly detection (AD) and KolektorSDD2 datasets, respectively.
