This paper focuses on the modeling, control, and simulation of an over-actuated hexacopter tilt-rotor (HTR). This configuration implies that two of the six actuators are independently tilted using servomotors, which provide high maneuverability and reliability. This approach is predicted to maintain zero pitch throughout the trajectory and is expected to improve the aircraft's steering accuracy.

Case Summary: We present the case of a successful coil embolization of a right ventricular pseudoaneurysm in a woman with chronic kidney disease due to perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody vasculitis and a history of difficult placement of a hemodialysis catheter.
Discussion: Ventricular pseudoaneurysm is a contained rupture of the ventricular wall that can occur due to several causes.
Article Synopsis
- The study explores a new way to create a titanium dioxide (TiO) electrode on graphene foam (GF) at low temperatures, which avoids the need for complicated heating processes.
- The titanium dioxide films created through a quick 10-minute electrodeposition show significantly higher photocurrent (170 μA cm) compared to traditional carbon electrode methods (82 μA cm).
- This increased photocurrent density makes the TiO-10/GF setup particularly suitable for portable, low-power photoelectrochemical biosensors.
Article Synopsis
- A EULAR task force developed guidelines for educating young patients with juvenile-onset rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases about managing physical activity and pain during their transition from pediatric to adult healthcare.
- They formulated two overarching principles highlighting the need for personalized care and seven points to consider, emphasizing the importance of patient education for a smoother transition.
- The guidelines are backed by moderate to weak levels of evidence and are intended to standardize care in Europe while encouraging further research and policy development in this area.
To investigate dietary influences on the volatilome, the volatile subcategory of the metabolome, we performed a comparative untargeted volatilome analysis of exhaled breath, ruminal fluid, serum, urine, and milk from lactating Holstein cows fed different diets. Thirty-two cows (83.3 ± 31.
