Augmented and Virtual Reality Applications in Rhinology: A Scoping Review.

Objectives: Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are innovative technologies that have a wide range of potential applications in the health care industry. The aim of this study was to investigate the body of research on AR and VR applications in rhinology by performing a scoping review.

Data Sources: PubMed, Scopus, and Embase.

The automated preprocessing pipe-line for the estimation of scale-wise entropy from EEG data (APPLESEED): Development and validation for use in pediatric populations.

It is increasingly understood that moment-to-moment brain signal variability - traditionally modeled out of analyses as mere "noise" - serves a valuable functional role related to development, cognitive processing, and psychopathology. Multiscale entropy (MSE) - a measure of signal irregularity across temporal scales - is an increasingly popular analytic technique in human neuroscience calculated from time series such as electroencephalography (EEG) signals. MSE provides insight into the time-structure and (non)linearity of fluctuations in neural activity and network dynamics, capturing the brain's moment-to-moment complexity as it operates on multiple time scales.

Retargeting IL-2 Signaling to NKG2D-Expressing Tumor-Infiltrating Leukocytes Improves Adoptive Transfer Immunotherapy.

Ex vivo expansion followed by reinfusion of tumor-infiltrating leukocytes (TILs) has been used successfully for the treatment of multiple malignancies. Most protocols rely on the use of the cytokine IL-2 to expand TILs prior to reinfusion. In addition, TIL administration relies on systemic administration of IL-2 after reinfusion to support transferred cell survival.
