Three-Dimensional Position Presentation via Head and Waist Vibrotactile Arrays.

This article introduces a novel system designed to convey the three-dimensional positions surrounding the user. The system incorporates circumferential vibrotactile arrays strategically positioned on both the user's head and waist. Through the synergy of this two-dimensional arrangement and modulations in vibration amplitude, the system adeptly presents comprehensive three-dimensional positional information.

[Successful delivery using interferon α for molecular relapse of chronic myeloid leukemia after interruption of tyrosine kinase inhibitor].

A tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) was used to treat the patient, a 35-year-old woman who was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia at the age of 22 years. Since a four-year deep molecular response (DMR) was obtained, spontaneous pregnancy was planned under TKI withdrawal. Even though her disease had advanced to MR2.

The involvement of U-type dicentric chromosomes in the formation of terminal deletions with or without adjacent inverted duplications.

An inverted duplication with a terminal deletion (inv-dup-del) is one of the complex constitutional structural rearrangements that can occur in a chromosome. Although breakages of dicentric chromosome have been suggested, the precise mechanism of this is yet to be fully understood. In our present study, we investigated the genomic structure of 10 inv-dup-del cases to elucidate this mechanism.
