The human brain is a complex spiking neural network (SNN) capable of learning multimodal signals in a zero-shot manner by generalizing existing knowledge. Remarkably, it maintains minimal power consumption through event-based signal propagation. However, replicating the human brain in neuromorphic hardware presents both hardware and software challenges.

Case: The effective reconstruction and functional restoration of the shoulder joint after surgical treatment of shoulder girdle tumors, especially those involving resection of the glenoid, poses significant challenges. Reconstruction methods include allograft reconstruction and shoulder prosthesis. In this report, we present 2 cases of scapulectomy for tumors involving the glenoid, followed by shoulder reconstruction using custom-designed reverse shoulder prostheses that are partially fixed to the clavicle.

Aims: Exploring fibrosis index-4 (FIB-4)'s predictive value for HBV-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in assessing recurrence following stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in patients with HBV-related HCC.

Methods: HBV-related HCC patients who underwent SBRT were retrospectively enrolled from March 2012 to March 2020. Patients were divided into recurrence and non-recurrence groups based on the HCC recurrence situation.
