Aim: To examine the result of the use of 0.025-inch guidewire (GW) VisiGlide2 as the first choice in the endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)-related procedures without selecting the patient in a multicenter prospective study.

Methods: ERCP using 0.025-inch GW VisiGlide2 as the first choice was conducted in patients who have needed ERCP, and its accomplishment rate of procedure, procedural time, incidence of accidental symptoms were compared with those of ERCP using 0.025-inch GW VisiGlide.

Results: The accomplishment rate of procedure was 97.5% (197/202), and procedural time was 23.930 ± 16.207 min. The accomplishment rate of procedure using 0.025-inch GW VisiGlide was 92.3% (183/195), and procedural time was 31.285 ± 19.122 min, thus the accomplishment rate of procedure was significantly improved and procedural time was significantly shortened ( < 0.05). Accidental symptoms by ERCP-related procedures were observed in 3.0% (6/202), and all were conservatively alleviated.

Conclusion: When 0.025-inch GW VisiGlide2 was used for ERCP-related procedure as the first choice, it showed high accomplishment rate of procedure and low incidence of accidental symptoms, suggesting it can be used as the universal GW. Clinical Trial Registry (UMIN0000016042).

Freezing of gait (FOG) is a debilitating symptom of Parkinson disease (PD). It is episodic and variable in nature, making assessment difficult. Wearable sensors used in conjunction with specialized algorithms, such as our group's pFOG algorithm, provide objective data to better understand this phenomenon.

To address the issue of safe, orderly, and efficient operation for unmanned vehicles within the apron area in the future, a hardware framework of aircraft-vehicle-airfield collaboration and a trajectory planning method for unmanned vehicles on the apron were proposed. As for the vehicle-airfield perspective, a collaboration mechanism between flight support tasks and unmanned vehicle departure movement was constructed. As for the latter, a control mechanism was established for the right-of-way control of the apron.

Background: To compare the clinicopathological, perioperative, functional, and oncological outcomes of completely endophytic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients who underwent partial nephrectomy (PN) with or without preoperative hyperaccuracy CT three-dimensional (HACT3D) reconstruction.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 154 completely endophytic RCC patients treated with PN at our medical center from January 2018 to December 2023. Patients were divided into two groups based on whether they received preoperative HACT3D reconstruction.
