This systematic review aims to summarize the progress made in the study of the cost-effectiveness of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) worldwide and to analyze the economic factors influencing this, in an attempt to provide methodological guidance for conducting economic evaluation studies in a domestic context, and to put forward suggestions for improving the cost-effectiveness of RARP in emerging markets. We conducted a systematic literature review and analysis of studies published worldwide from January 2000 to July 2024 concerning the economic evaluation of RARP compared with laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) or open radical prostatectomy (ORP). A total of 16 papers were included.

IEEE Trans Pattern Anal Mach Intell
December 2024
We introduce HiSC4D, a novel Human-centered interaction and 4D Scene Capture method, aimed at accurately and efficiently creating a dynamic digital world, containing large-scale indoor-outdoor scenes, diverse human motions, rich human-human interactions, and human-environment interactions. By utilizing body-mounted IMUs and a head-mounted LiDAR, HiSC4D can capture egocentric human motions in unconstrained space without the need for external devices and pre-built maps. This affords great flexibility and accessibility for human-centered interaction and 4D scene capturing in various environments.

- The nonreciprocal quantum transport effect, influenced by symmetry breaking in materials, is significant for advancing nonreciprocal quantum devices, particularly with the ability to switch electrical polarity without magnetic fields.
- Researchers achieved the first instance of field-free electrical switching of nonreciprocal Ising superconductivity using a FeGeTe/NbSe van der Waals heterostructure.
- This innovation led to the development of a nonreciprocal quantum neuronal transistor, capable of performing XOR logic operations and mimicking the function of a biological cortical neuron, indicating potential for new neuromorphic quantum devices.
Article Synopsis
- In situ phase engineering of two-dimensional materials allows for the manipulation of their properties using external stimuli, potentially enhancing their application in electronics and energy systems.
- The proposed method enables the creation of different lattice phases with varying chemical compositions, demonstrated using palladium and selenide, which allows for unique functions such as superconductivity and low-contact resistance.
- This versatile technique can be applied to a wide range of metal and chalcogen combinations, making it a promising approach for advancing material properties and their practical uses.
Article Synopsis
- The spin Hall effect (SHE) enables the generation of spin polarization from charge currents and is important for advancing spintronics, especially in non-magnetic materials.
- Researchers have discovered a significant time-reversal-odd SHE (T-odd SHE) in a specific van der Waals heterostructure, linking spin currents with magnetization in ferromagnetic materials for new functionalities.
- This discovery can lead to innovative applications in energy-efficient computing, particularly in tasks like multiply-accumulate operations and binary convolutional neural networks using advanced multi-terminal devices.
The building block of in-memory computing with spintronic devices is mainly based on the magnetic tunnel junction with perpendicular interfacial anisotropy (p-MTJ). The resulting asymmetric write and readout operations impose challenges in downscaling and direct cascadability of p-MTJ devices. Here, we propose that a previously unimplemented symmetric write and readout mechanism can be realized in perpendicular-anisotropy spin-orbit (PASO) quantum materials based on FeGeTe and WTe.

However, the clinical outcome of endovascular intervention for femoropopliteal lesions has been shown to be affected by the status of tibial runoff. It remains unclear whether endovascular intervention for tibial runoff is associated with additional benefits.
