Safety and Feasibility of Robot-Assisted Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Using the AVIAR 2.0 System: A Prospective, Multi-Center, Single-Arm, Open, Investigator-Initiated, Post-Approval Clinical Trial.

Background And Objectives: Traditional manual percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) exposes operators to significant radiation and physical stress. The recently developed Advanced Vascular Intervention Assist Robot (AVIAR) 2.0 system in South Korea aimed to overcome these issues by evaluating its safety and feasibility in a clinical setting.

Effectiveness and Safety of Polydioxanone Thread Embedding Acupuncture Compared with Acupuncture Treatment for Knee Osteoarthritis: a Protocol for a Pilot, Assessor-Blinded, Randomized Controlled Trial.

Importance: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a common degenerative joint disease in aging populations. Knee OA is difficult to cure and requires ongoing management. Thread embedding acupuncture (TEA) is a popular Korean medical treatment for knee OA.

Mechanism of the Mitsunobu Reaction: An Ongoing Mystery.

The Mitsunobu reaction is one the most widely known reactions in the organic chemistry canon. Despite its fame, some aspects of the mechanism remain poorly understood, 55 years after its initial discovery. This short review collates the findings of several publications focused on the mechanism of the Mitsunobu reaction, highlighting both the current state of knowledge and the remaining missing pieces.

Iron as a Sulfidation-Resistant Current Collector for Negative Electrode in Sulfide-Based All-Solid-Batteries.

The demand for all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) featuring credible LiPSCl argyrodite (LPSCl) electrolytes is increasing, driving interest in exploring suitable current collectors for ASSBs. Copper (Cu), used as a current collector in traditional lithium-ion batteries, exhibits significant instability in LPSCl-ASSBs. In this study, the effectiveness of iron (Fe) is systematically investigated as an alternative current collector in LPSCl-ASSBs and compare its performance to that of Cu.
