A novel virtual reality blowgun game for rehabilitation of older adults: A preliminary case series.

Patients: Three residents of a long-term care home volunteered to participate in a rehabilitation program involving a virtual reality blowgun game. The participants played the game 5 days a week as a new exercise routine. After 4 weeks of intervention, tongue pressure and forced expiratory volume in 1 s improved in all participants.

Image quantification analysis of cytoplasmic mucin and interpretation of mucin color in lobular endocervical glandular hyperplasia.

Introduction: Although the widespread use of screening tests and HPV vaccines for squamous cell carcinoma has led to early detection and treatment, effectiveness is limited for cervical adenocarcinoma. Lobular endocervical glandular hyperplasia (LEGH) corresponds to gastric metaplasia, but is regarded as a pathological condition with subtle morphological abnormalities. LEGH is a benign lesion and a precursor to gastric-type adenocarcinoma.

Unsupervised method for representation transfer from one brain to another.

Although the anatomical arrangement of brain regions and the functional structures within them are similar across individuals, the representation of neural information, such as recorded brain activity, varies among individuals owing to various factors. Therefore, appropriate conversion and translation of brain information is essential when decoding neural information using a model trained using another person's data or to achieving brain-to-brain communication. We propose a brain representation transfer method that involves transforming a data representation obtained from one person's brain into that obtained from another person's brain, without relying on corresponding label information between the transferred datasets.
