Intermittent switchings between weakly chaotic (laminar) and strongly chaotic (bursty) states are often observed in systems with high-dimensional chaotic attractors, such as fluid turbulence. They differ from the intermittency of a low-dimensional system accompanied by the stability change of a fixed point or a periodic orbit in that the intermittency of a high-dimensional system tends to appear in a wide range of parameters. This paper considers a case where the skeleton of a laminar state L exists as a proper chaotic subset S of a chaotic attractor X, that is, S⊊X.

- * These vessels can be utilized for various procedures like extracorporeal circulation, impeller insertion, TEVAR, and TAVR, highlighting the need for systematic exposure methods.
- * Understanding the complex anatomy of the axillary artery and assessing the femoral artery's individual conditions through preoperative CT and intraoperative echocardiography is essential for successful surgeries.
Introduction: Understanding speech in noisy environments is challenging even for individuals with normal hearing, and it poses a significant challenge for those with hearing impairments or listening difficulties. There are limitations associated with the current methods of evaluating speech comprehension in such environments, especially in individuals with peripheral hearing impairments. According to the predictive coding model, speech comprehension is an active inference process that integrates sensory information through the interaction of bottom-up and top-down processing.

Article Synopsis
- The subclavian vessel surgery faces challenges due to limited access, but open repair may be necessary for issues like large aneurysms or trauma, leading to the use of the transmanubrial osteomuscular sparing approach, which offers better visibility.
- Three case studies illustrate the effectiveness of this technique: one involving an aneurysm, another dealing with an abscess from a forgotten guidewire, and a third correcting a misplaced dialysis catheter.
- The transmanubrial approach was consistently used under cardiopulmonary bypass support, demonstrating its utility and safety in complex subclavian procedures.
Article Synopsis
- Acute aortic dissection (AAD) is a severe medical emergency with a high economic impact, leading to a research initiative called the Tohoku Registry of Acute Aortic Dissection (TRAD) in Japan.
- The TRAD collects extensive data on AAD cases, including treatment methods and recovery outcomes, over a 5-year period from 2017 to 2022, and involves follow-ups for up to 10 years post-discharge.
- The goal of TRAD is to improve understanding of AAD treatments and outcomes, ultimately aiming to enhance patient survival and quality of life in the region.
