This work describes light-driven assembly of dynamic formations and functional particle swarms controlled by appropriately programmed light patterns. The system capitalizes on the use of a fluidic bed whose low thermal conductivity assures that light-generated heat remains "localized" and sets strong convective flows in the immediate vicinity of the particles being irradiated. In this way, even low-power laser light or light from a desktop slide projector can be used to organize dynamic formations of objects spanning four orders of magnitude in size (from microns to centimeters) and over nine orders of magnitude in terms of mass.

The package combines several training and data treatment techniques discussed in previous publications. The predictions made by the neural network are accurate and robust enough to serve as good starting parameters for an optional subsequent least-mean-squares (LMS) fit of the data.

In the present study, we evaluate whether this can be explained by differences in how visual, somatosensory and proprioceptive cues contribute to representations of the Head In Space (HIS) and Body In Space (BIS). Participants (10) were standing on a force plate on top of a motion platform while wearing a visualization device that allowed us to artificially tilt their visual surroundings.

- The study investigates the residual effects of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) on thrombin generation 12 hours post-intake, which is crucial during emergencies like bleeding or surgery.
- Four types of DOACs (apixaban, edoxaban, rivaroxaban, and dabigatran) were tested on 80 patients, comparing their blood samples before and after medication, and against a control group of blood donors.
- Results showed that all DOACs significantly decreased thrombin generation parameters and prolonged lag time compared to baseline and the healthy control, indicating ongoing antithrombotic activity that may impact clinical decisions in urgent situations.
Purpose: To identify the predictors for anatomical and functional outcome after re-vitrectomy with application of autologous platelet concentrate (APC) in eyes with persistent idiopathic macular hole (MH).
Methods: Retrospective study of 103 eyes with persistent MHs after vitrectomy with peeling of internal limiting membrane (ILM) and expansive gas. All patients underwent re-vitrectomy with APC and endotamponade.
