Article Synopsis
  • Moyamoya syndrome (MMS) is linked to genetic disorders and arises from a mix of genetic mutations and modifiers, with a focus on whole-exome sequencing (WES) to identify these connections.
  • In a study of 13 patients, WES identified genetic conditions like neurofibromatosis type 1, Down syndrome, and others, confirming previously known modifier genes in some cases.
  • The research suggests that rare genetic variants associated with both MMS and conditions like pulmonary arterial hypertension could serve as new diagnostic tools and potential treatments in the future.

Background:  Lateral mass intrapedicular screw(LMIS) fixation was introduced in 2021 as an alternative method for the fixation of subaxial cervical spines for the treatment of various cervical spine disease. The objective of this study is to provide a short- to medium-term result of the 20 patients who underwent cervical spine fixation using LMIS.

Methods:  Twenty patients with varying cervical spine pathology who underwent cervical spine fixation using LMIS in a 21-month period were included in the study.

Implantation of left ventricular assist device (LVAD) is widely performed in patients with end-stage chronic heart failure. Infection and stroke are major complications after LVAD implantation. However, the incidence of intracranial mycotic aneurysm after LVAD implantation is rare, and with no standard of care.

Due to inevitable power dissipation, it is said that nano-scaled computing devices should perform their computing processes in a reversible manner. This will be a large problem in constructing three-dimensional nano-scaled functional objects. Reversible cellular automata (RCA) are used for modeling physical phenomena such as power dissipation, by studying the dissipation of garbage signals.
