Balloon uncrossable lesions are a well-known challenge during chronic total occlusion (CTO) interventions. The technique of using two different catheters into the same coronary artery, the so-called "ping-pong" technique, is a technique described for treating complications during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), like perforations or rotational atherectomy burr entrapment. We describe a case where the "ping-pong" technique was successfully used to facilitate treatment of a balloon uncrossable CTO lesion.

- , a hemipteran insect known to transmit Chagas disease, from DNA damage caused by horizontally transferred transposable elements (HTTs) acquired from its diet.
- - By using SmallRNA-Seq and RNA-Seq techniques, researchers quantified piRNA features and gene expression levels, revealing that piRNA production peaks during embryogenesis, correlating with reduced expression of HTTs and resident transposable elements.
- - The findings highlight that while resident transposable element piRNAs engage in a typical ping-pong amplification mechanism, the response to HTTs is different, suggesting unique biogenesis and functional pathways for pi
A three-dimensional (3D) fluorescent imaging method through a scattering medium has been presented. The proposed method combines digital phase conjugate reconstruction of the scattered light wave by the transport of intensity equation-based 3D fluorescent imaging to the position of scattering medium and followed phase retrieval method by Fresnel ping-pong algorithm. The effectiveness of the proposed method is experimentally verified by measuring the 3D distribution of fluorescent beads and tobacco-cultured cells through a thin diffuser.

Background: Depressed skull fractures in infants often present as "ping-pong ball" fractures with inward buckling of the calvarium, secondary to trauma. Management varies widely, and few concrete guidelines exist in the literature to guide decision-making when choosing a methodology for fracture elevation. The authors present two cases of attempted depressed skull fracture elevation with traction on a percutaneously placed bone fiducial screw, followed by a review of the literature, in order to further investigate the factors considered when selecting an intervention.

Background: A large body of research has identified the positive effects of physical activity on children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). However, the specific benefits of different types of sports on executive functioning in children with ASD remain unclear. The aim of this study was to further analyze the effects of different sports on executive functioning in children with ASD using reticulated meta-analysis and to establish their effectiveness ranking.

The carnitine/acylcarnitine carrier (CAC) is a crucial protein for cellular energy metabolism, facilitating the exchange of acylcarnitines and free carnitine across the mitochondrial membrane, thereby enabling fatty acid β-oxidation and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). Although CAC has not been crystallised, structural insights are derived from the mitochondrial ADP/ATP carrier (AAC) structures in both cytosolic and matrix conformations. These structures underpin a single binding centre-gated pore mechanism, a common feature among mitochondrial carrier (MC) family members.
