Takeover and non-driving related task performance in conditional automated driving: EEG and behavior Parameters interaction.

In this study, a conditional automated driving scenario is simulated using virtual reality (VR) technology to explore whether office works presented through augmented reality (AR) affect task and takeover performance, and the neural mechanism was revealed. Sixty-four participants were recruited and their electroencephalography (EEG) was used to measure the brain activities. The results indicated that non-driving-related tasks (NDRTs) requiring higher internal attention focus resulted in poorer task and takeover performance.

Reduced tear fluid production in neurological diseases: a cohort study in 708 patients.

Background: Tear fluid (TF) production is an important component of normal ocular function. It is regulated by parasympathetic and sympathetic innervation. Because parasympathetic nerve fibers originate in the brainstem, pathology in this brain region may affect TF production.

High-resolution grids of daily air temperature for Peru - the new PISCOt v1.2 dataset.

Gridded high-resolution climate datasets are increasingly important for a wide range of modelling applications. Here we present PISCOt (v1.2), a novel high spatial resolution (0.

Watch your step: A pilot study of smartphone use effect on young females' gait performance while walking up and down stairs and escalators.

The increasingly ubiquitous use of smartphones has made distracted walking common, not only on flat ground, but also on stairs. Available information regarding changes in gait performance while walking and using a smartphone in different environments is still lacking. We aimed to investigate the differences in gait behavior and subjective walking confidence while walking up and down stairs and escalators, with and without smartphone use.

Use of helical tack system for management of a high-risk fibrotic peptic ulcer.

Background And Aims: GI bleeding because of peptic ulcer disease is a well-described entity in its diagnosis and management. Although hemostatic clips and thermal therapy have been the primary tools in bleeding from peptic ulcer disease, some bleeds remain refractory. New data have shown that obliteration of the underlying arterial blood flow is needed to control refractory peptic ulcer bleeding.

Identification of patients with malignant biliary strictures using a cholangioscopy-based deep learning artificial intelligence (with video).

Background And Aims: Accurately diagnosing malignant biliary strictures (MBSs) as benign or malignant remains challenging. It has been suggested that direct visualization and interpretation of cholangioscopy images provide greater accuracy for stricture classification than current sampling techniques (ie, brush cytology and forceps biopsy sampling) using ERCP. We aimed to develop a convolutional neural network (CNN) model capable of accurate stricture classification and real-time evaluation based solely on cholangioscopy image analysis.

Using EEG to investigate the influence of boredom on prospective memory in top-down and bottom-up processing mechanisms for intelligent interaction.

We aimed to investigate the alpha (α) activity in operators experiencing boredom while performing prolonged monitoring and prospective memory tasks using different processing mechanisms. Fifty-four participants underwent electroencephalography (EEG) and were found to have poorer prospective memory performance under top-down conditions. Further, α power and synchronisation were higher during bottom-up than in top-down processes, revealing an inhibition effect of the former.

Do Congruent Auditory Stimuli Facilitate Visual Search in Dynamic Environments? An Experimental Study Based on Multisensory Interaction.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the cue congruency effect of auditory stimuli during visual search in dynamic environments. Twenty-eight participants were recruited to conduct a visual search experiment. The experiment applied auditory stimuli to understand whether they could facilitate visual search in different types of background.

Alpha Oscillations in Parietal and Parietooccipital Explaining How Boredom Matters Prospective Memory.

Intelligent interaction alters previous human-machine task allocation patterns. Human workers will suffer from boredom and inattention, posing a significant challenge for the human-machine interaction loop. This study aims to investigate the relationship between boredom and prospective memory, which is a memory form including the detecting, identifying, and executing functions.

Use of a novel helical tack system for the management of challenging upper gastrointestinal defects.

Background And Aims: Increasingly, gastroenterologists are being asked to assist in the closure of defects. Although there are several available tools that can be used for defect closure, there remains a need for devices that are easy to use, effective, and durable. The aim of this case series is to demonstrate the use of a novel helical tack system in the closure of upper GI defects.

Prevalence of musculoskeletal discomfort among female cabin crew in Taiwan.

Objectives: This study investigated the prevalence of musculoskeletal discomfort among female cabin crew through cabin tasks and demographic factors, including age and seniority.

Methods: This study conducted an online questionnaire survey targeted at female cabin crew in Taiwan and ensured that the sample size was with a statistical power of 0.95.

Initial multicenter experience using a novel endoscopic tack and suture system for challenging GI defect closure and stent fixation (with video).

Background And Aims: Closure of endoscopic resection defects can be achieved with through-the-scope clips, over-the-scope clips, or endoscopic suturing. However, these devices are often limited by their inability to close large, irregular, and difficult-to-reach defects. Thus, we aimed to assess the feasibility and safety of a novel through-the-scope, suture-based closure system developed to overcome these limitations.

Regional differences in the effect of interpersonal relationship on trust and trustworthiness in China.

Guanxi, which literally means interpersonal relationship or social connections, plays an important role in achieving business success in China. This study investigates the effect of interpersonal relationship on trust and trustworthiness in four regions in China. Eighty pairs of close friends participated in the experiment: 20 pairs from Beijing, 20 pairs from Guangdong, 20 pairs from Shanghai, and 20 pairs from Chongqing.

MIR spectroscopy versus MALDI-ToF-MS for authenticity control of honeys from different botanical origins based on soft independent modelling by class analogy (SIMCA) - A clash of techniques?

In this study, highly reproducible MIR spectroscopy and highly sensitive MALDI-ToF-MS data were directly compared for the metabolomic profiling of monofloral and multifloral honey samples from three different botanical origins canola, acacia, and honeydew. Subsequently, three different classification models were applied to the data of both techniques, PCA-LDA, PCA- kNN, and soft independent modelling by class analogy (SIMCA) as class modelling technique. All monofloral external test set samples were classified correctly by PCA-LDA and SIMCA with both data sets, while multifloral test set samples could only be identified as outliers by the SIMCA technique, which is a crucial aspect in the authenticity control of honey.

Assessment of Video Capsule Endoscopy in the Management of Acute Gastrointestinal Bleeding During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Importance: Evaluation of acute gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding using invasive endoscopic procedures comprising the standard of care (SOC)-upper endoscopy and colonoscopy-can expose the endoscopy staff to SARS-CoV-2. Video capsule endoscopy (VCE) does not generate aerosols and only requires 1 person to manage the procedure.

Objective: To examine the safety of VCE for the initial evaluation of GI bleeding at the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic to identify signs of active bleeding while minimizing patient and personnel exposure, saving personal protective equipment, and avoiding invasive or unnecessary procedures.
