Background: Neuromodulation has been shown to increase the efficacy of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation procedures. However, despite its ability to influence the autonomic nervous system (ANS), the exact mechanism of action remains unclear. The activity of the ANS via the intracardiac nervous system (ICNS) can be inferred from heart rate variability (HRV).

Temperature control is crucial for live cell imaging, particularly in studies involving plant responses to high ambient temperatures and thermal stress. This study presents the design, development, and testing of two cost-effective heating devices tailored for confocal microscopy applications: an aluminum heat plate and a wireless mini-heater. The aluminum heat plate, engineered to integrate seamlessly with the standard 160 mm × 110 mm microscope stage, supports temperatures up to 36°C, suitable for studies in the range of non-stressful warm temperatures (e.

Aiming at the control challenges faced by unmanned surface vessels (USVs) in complex environments, such as nonlinearities, parameter uncertainties, and environmental perturbations, we propose a non-singular terminal integral sliding mode control strategy based on an extended state observer (ESO). The strategy first employs a third-order linear extended state observer to estimate the total disturbances of the USV system, encompassing both external disturbances and internal nonlinearities. Subsequently, a backstepping sliding mode controller based on the Lyapunov theory is designed to generate the steering torque control commands for the USV.

Background: The mammalian NAD-dependent deacetylase sirtuin-1 family (named also silent information regulator or SIRT family, where NAD stands for "nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide" (NAD)) appears to have a dual role in several human cancers by modulating cell proliferation and death. This study examines how SIRT1 protein levels correlate with clinicopathological characteristics and survival outcomes in patients with breast cancer.
Methods: A total of 407 BC formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples were collected from King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Saudi Arabia.
