Three-dimensional aortic arch geometry and blood flow in neonates after surgical repair for aortic coarctation.
Front Cardiovasc Med
January 2025
Pediatric Cardiology, Pediatric Heart Center, Skåne University Hospital, Lund, Sweden.
Background: Recurrent coarctation of the aorta (re-CoA) is a well-known although not fully understood complication after surgical repair, typically occurring in 10%-20% of cases within months after discharge.
Objectives: To (1) characterize geometry of the aortic arch and blood flow from pre-discharge magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in neonates after CoA repair; and (2) compare these measures between patients that developed re-CoA within 12 months after repair and patients who did not.
Methods: Neonates needing CoA repair, without associated major congenital heart defects, were included.
Enhancing panoramic dental imaging with AI-driven arch surface fitting: Achieving improved clarity and accuracy through an optimal reconstruction zone.
Dentomaxillofac Radiol
January 2025
Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, School of Dentistry, Pusan National University, Yangsan, 50612, Korea.
Objectives: This study aimed to develop an automated method for generating clearer, well-aligned panoramic views by creating an optimized three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction zone centered on the teeth. The approach focused on achieving high contrast and clarity in key dental features, including tooth roots, morphology, and periapical lesions, by applying a 3D U-Net deep learning model to generate an arch surface and align the panoramic view.
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed anonymized cone-beam CT (CBCT) scans from 312 patients (mean age 40 years; range 10-78; 41.
Anatomical investigation of safety determining factors for keyhole drilling trajectories for robotic cochlear implant surgery.
Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol
January 2025
Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Brussels Health Centre, Brussels, Belgium.
Purpose: Cochlear implants (CI) are the most successful bioprosthesis in medicine probably due to the tonotopic anatomy of the auditory pathway and of course the brain plasticity. Correct placement of the CI arrays, respecting the inner ear anatomy are therefore important. The ideal trajectory to insert a cochlear implant array is defined by an entrance through the round window membrane and continues as long as possible parallel to the basal turn of the cochlea.

Arch Virol
January 2025
School of Agriculture, Utsunomiya University, 350 Mine-machi, Utsunomiya, Tochigi, 321-8505, Japan.
Tulip mild mottle mosaic disease, caused by tulip mild mottle mosaic virus (TMMMV, species Ophiovirus tulipae), was first reported in Japan in 1979. TMMMV has a negative-sense ssRNA genome and is closely related to ophioviruses such as Mirafiori lettuce big vein virus (MLBVV, Ophiovirus mirafioriense). However, its complete nucleotide sequence has not yet been reported.

Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Faculty of Pharmacy, Gazi University, Ankara, Turkey.
The inhibition of human microsomal prostaglandin E (PGE) synthase-1 (mPGES-1) is a promising therapeutic modality for developing next-generation anti-inflammatory medications. In this study, we present novel 2-phenylbenzothiazole derivatives featuring heteroaryl sulfonamide end-capping substructures as inhibitors of human mPGES-1, with IC values in the range of 0.72-3.
