Simulating online and offline tasks using hybrid cheetah optimization algorithm for patients affected by neurodegenerative diseases.

Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) is a versatile technique to offer better communication system for people affected by the locked-in syndrome (LIS).In the current decade, there has been a growing demand for improved care and services for individuals with neurodegenerative diseases. To address this barrier, the current work is designed with four states of BCI for paralyzed persons using Welch Power Spectral Density (W-PSD).

An efficient method of modulo adder design for Digital Signal Processing applications.

Modulo adder is a widely used arithmetic component in many Digital Signal Processing (DSP) applications such as Finite Impulse Response (FIR), Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) filters, digital signal processors, image processing modules, discrete cosine transform, and cryptography. Therefore, in this paper, the critical path delay and area of modulo adder are analyzed. An optimized diminished-one modulo adder for is proposed based on the analysis results.

The association between aldosterone and lipid profiles in patients with primary aldosteronism.

Previous studies have yielded inconsistent findings regarding the comparison of lipid profiles in patients with primary aldosteronism (PA) and essential hypertension (EH), and there is a limited understanding of the association between plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC) and lipid profiles across various populations. 270 patients with PA and 598 patients with EH diagnosed at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from January 2020 to June 2021 were consecutively included. After 1:1 propensity score matching by sex, age, and body mass index (BMI), 267 PA and 267 EH patients were ultimately enrolled in the study.

The Oncological Outcome of Postoperative Radiotherapy in Patients with Node-Negative Early-Stage (T1/T2/N0) Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Perineural Invasion: A Meta-Analysis.

To evaluate the impact of postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) on oncological outcomes in node-negative early-stage oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) with perineural invasion (PNI). : A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted using the PubMed, EMBASE, and Scopus databases for the period from 2000 to 2024. Studies comparing PORT versus observation in pN0 early-stage OSCC with PNI were included.

Benign mid-gap halide vacancy states in 2D-bismuth-based halide perovskite microcrystals for enhanced broadband photodetectors.

Lead halide perovskites are widely recognized for their exceptional defect tolerance, setting the benchmark for high-performance optoelectronic applications. Conversely, low-toxicity perovskite-inspired materials (PIMs) typically exhibit suboptimal optoelectronic performance, primarily due to their intrinsic susceptibility to defects. In this study, we address this limitation by exploring the effects of halide vacancies in PIMs through the synthesis of non-stoichiometric CsBiBrI microcrystals (MCs) with a trigonal crystal structure, incorporating iodine vacancies.
