This study involved a 73-year-old man who underwent thalamotomy via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided, focused ultrasound surgery, in which the left thalamic ventral intermediate nucleus is targeted, as a treatment for action tremor of the right-hand fingers caused by essential tremor. Following treatment, the action tremor of the right-hand fingers mostly disappeared, but new symptoms of paresis and sensory impairment were evident in the left upper and lower limbs. Head MRI exhibited a hyperintense lesion on diffusion-weighted imaging and a decreased apparent diffusion coefficient in a region of the right thalamus following the anterior choroidal artery, medial posterior choroidal artery, and thalamogeniculate artery territory.

Article Synopsis
- A study reviews the complications associated with flow-diverter stents (FDSs) in treating unruptured middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysms, highlighting concerns about ischemic events during the procedures.
- Among 8 patients, 37.5% experienced in-stent thrombus occlusion, with rapid treatment using argatroban improving blood flow for those affected.
- Only one patient suffered a postoperative symptomatic stroke, but they had a favorable recovery and neurological outcome, emphasizing the importance of managing ischemic complications with appropriate interventions.
Article Synopsis
- * With the optimized narrow SWATH (nSWATH), researchers identified significantly more protein groups—5916 from mouse liver and 7719 from HEK293T cells—showing improvements of 7.52% and 4.99% respectively over conventional SWATH.
- * nSWATH also demonstrated enhanced accuracy and precision, identifying an average of 95,456 precursors and 9342 protein groups in benchmark samples, achieving up to 40.7% more protein group identifications at lower loading amounts.
Peak oxygen uptake (VO), evaluated as exercise tolerance, is a strong predictor of life prognosis regardless of health condition. Several previous studies have reported that peak VO is higher in those with a greater decrease in muscle oxygen saturation (SmO) in the active muscles during incremental exercise. However, the skeletal muscle characteristics of individuals exhibiting a greater decrease in SmO during active muscle engagement in incremental exercise remain unclear.

One of the reasons for the low recycling percentage of discarded textile products is the difficulty of recycling as a single material as these products are produced from a combination of two or more materials. Therefore, a technology to separate materials is necessary to improve the recycling percentage of textile products and to build a sustainable recycling industry.
