The coherent signal averaging process requires accurate estimation of a fiducial point in all beats to be averaged. The temporal cross-correlation between each detected beat and a template beat is the typical alignment method used with high-resolution electrocardiogram (HRECG) records. However, this technique does not produce a precise fiducial mark in records with high noise levels, like those found in Holter HRECG systems. In this study, we propose a new alignment method based on the multiscale cross-correlation between the template and each detected beat. We report the results of tests comparing multiscale and temporal methods for 3000 beats of simulated HRECG records corrupted separately with white noise, electromyographic noise and power line interference (50 Hz) of different root mean square levels. A second study with simulated records constructed from real Holter HRECG records is also presented. The results indicate that the multiscale alignment method produces a lower trigger jitter than the temporal method in all tests. We conclude that the proposed alignment method can be used in HRECG records with high noise levels.

Tibial plateau fracture is a fracture involving the proximal articular surface of the tibia, and its injury mechanism is complex, the fracture morphology is different, and it is often accompanied by different degrees of soft tissue injury, which is difficult to diagnose and treat. In recent years, the research hotspot has focused on solving the reduction and fixation of the posterior lateral column of the tibial plateau, because it has been clinically found that the residual sagittal plane after tibial plateau fracture is insufficient reduction or loss of reduction leads to knee joint dysfunction. The posterior inclination angle of the tibial plateau is an important parameter to describe the sagittal alignment of the tibia.

Existing cross-domain mechanical fault diagnosis methods primarily achieve feature alignment by directly optimizing interdomain and category distances. However, this approach can be computationally expensive in multi-target scenarios or fail due to conflicting objectives, leading to decreased diagnostic performance. To avoid these issues, this paper introduces a novel method called domain feature disentanglement.

Objective: To evaluate the early effectiveness of navigation-free robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA) compared to traditional TKA in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis combined with extra-articular deformities.
Methods: The clinical data of 30 patients with knee osteoarthritis combined with extra-articular deformities who met the selection criteria between June 2019 and January 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. Fifteen patients underwent CORI navigation-free robot-assisted TKA and intra-articular osteotomy (robot group) and 15 patients underwent traditional TKA and intra-articular osteotomy (traditional group).
Determination of the Zebrafish Embryo Developmental Toxicity Assessment (ZEDTA) as an Alternative Non-Mammalian Approach for the Safety Assessment of Agrochemicals.

With the US Environment Protection Agency reducing requests for (and funding of) mammalian studies alongside the proposed elimination of requests by 2035, there is an urgent need for fully validated New Approach Methods (NAMs) to fill the resultant gap for safety assessment of agrochemicals. One promising NAM for assessing the potential for human prenatal developmental toxicity potential is the Zebrafish Embryo Developmental Toxicity Assessment, a bioassay that has been used by the pharmaceutical industry for more than a decade in early-stage drug safety assessment. Despite its promise, little data has been generated to assess the validity of ZEDTA for assessing Developmental and Reproductive Toxicity of new agrochemical products.
