Introduction: Intrauterine Contraceptive Device (IUCD) is an effective mode of contraception.But its timing of insertion remained debateable.Studies has shown that Postpartum Intrauterine Contraceptive Device (PPIUCD) is associated with less complications as compared to interval IUCD.But controversial results have been noted.This study aims to comp
Plasma-Nitriding Properties of CoCrFeMnNi High-Entropy Alloys Produced by Spark Plasma Sintering
High-entropy alloys (HEAs) were fabricated by powder metallurgy using gas-atomized powder and Studs spark plasma sintering (SPS) followed by surface modification (plasma nitriding) of the sintered sample.Plasma nitriding forms nitride and induces solid-soluting of N; it enables the diffusion of N atoms by removing the passive film formed on the sur
High state boredom vastly affects psychiatric inpatients and predicts their treatment duration
Abstract Boredom is a ubiquitous, aversive human experience typically elicited by low information and monotony.Boredom can occur either as a transient mental state that prompts individuals to adapt their behavior to avoid monotony or as a temporally stable trait, describing a chronic susceptibility to feeling bored.Increased trait boredom was found

Single-cell omics traces the heterogeneity of prostate cancer cells and the tumor microenvironment
Abstract Prostate cancer is one of the more heterogeneous tumour types.In recent years, with the rapid development of single-cell sequencing and spatial transcriptome technologies, researchers have gained a more intuitive and comprehensive understanding of the heterogeneity of prostate cancer.Tumour-associated epithelial cells; cancer-associated fi
