Background: Predicting mortality risk in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) is challenging due to complex, variable clinical and physiological data. Machine learning (ML) offers potential for more accurate risk stratification.
Objective: To compare the performance of various ML models in predicting NICU mortality using a team-based modeling competition.
Background: No data compare newer-generation transcatheter heart valves (THVs) in terms of next-day discharge (NDD) following transfemoral (TF) transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).
Aims: We aimed to evaluate the safety of NDD in unselected patients who received ACURATE (neo/neo2), Evolut (PRO/PRO+/FX) and the SAPIEN (3/Ultra) THVs.
Methods: This multicentre registry included patients who underwent TF-TAVI without a preprocedural permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) and were discharged the next day without a new PPI.

Air quality has deteriorated rapidly in recent decades due to exponential economic growth, necessitating effective solutions to mitigate pollution. One promising approach is the use of photocatalytic concrete containing TiO, which, when activated by sunlight, can degrade various contaminants. This study provides a comprehensive scientometric-based review of research on photocatalytic concrete, focusing on literature published between 1997 and 2024.

Our tapered waveguide, consisting of a multimode input and nine few-mode outputs, enables single-shot TIRF illumination from nine azimuthal directions simultaneously without the introduction of nonstationary devices. Utilizing the photonic lantern for multi-beam excitation provides a low-loss mechanism that supports a wide range of light sources, including high-coherence lasers and various wavelengths in the visible spectrum.
