This study presents a novel method for creating customized brain slice matrices using Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and 3D printing technology. Brain Slice Matrices are essential jigs for the reproducible preparation of brain tissue sections in neuroscience research. Our approach leverages the advantages of 3D printing, including design flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and rapid prototyping, to produce custom-made brain matrices based on specific morphometric measurements.

This paper proposes the use of artificial intelligence techniques, specifically the nnU-Net convolutional neural network, to improve the identification of left ventricular walls in images of myocardial perfusion scintigraphy, with the objective of improving the diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease. The methodology included data collection in a clinical environment, followed by data preparation and analysis using the 3D Slicer Platform for manual segmentation, and subsequently, the application of artificial intelligence models for automated segmentation, focusing on the efficiency of identifying the walls of the left ventricular. A total of 83 clinical routine exams were collected, each exam containing 50 slices, which is 4,150 images.

Implantable drug delivery systems are crucial for achieving sustained delivery of active compounds to specific sites or systemic circulation. In this study, a novel reservoir-type implant combining a biodegradable rate-controlling membrane with a drug-containing core prepared using direct compression techniques is developed. The membrane is composed of poly(caprolactone) (PCL), and risperidone (RIS) served as the model drug.

Carbon coating on SiO surface is crucial for enhancing initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) and cycling performance in batteries, while also buffering volume expansion. Despite its market prevalence, the effects of the carbon layer's quality and structure on the electrochemical properties of SiO remain underexplored. This study compares carbon layers produced via gas-phase and solid-phase coating methods, introducing an innovative technique that sequentially uses two gases to develop a low-impedance hybrid carbon structure.

However, the reaction mechanism and the specific roles of heteroatom doping, such as N doping, in advancing the CO reduction reaction are still controversial due to the lack of precise control of catalyst surface microenvironments. In this study, we investigated the effects of N doping on the performances for electrochemically converting CO to CO over Ni@NCNT/graphene hybrid structured catalysts (Ni@NCNT/Gr).
