A field of view (FoV) of the resistive bolometer systems specialized for the total radiated power analysis has been designed with bolometer systems having multiple-apertures in JT-60SA. The multi-aperture bolometer system can reduce the required number of bolometer channels for the determination of the total radiated power. The FoV design has been carried out to minimize unobserved and overlapping regions with the following requirements: (i) independent determination of the divertor and the main plasma radiation, (ii) limitation of the use of only three diagnostic ports, and (iii) a redundant FoV design. With the designed FoV, the whole plasma of JT-60SA is viewed by only five bolometers and five replicated bolometers having the same FoV for redundancy. A signal evaluation with the designed FoV with a predetermined radiation profile indicates that even the lowest performing bolometer exhibits a signal to noise (S/N) ratio of 300 or more. The evaluated S/N ratio is high enough for the total radiated power analysis. Using the designed FoV, the total radiated power over the plasma profile can be determined within 5.3% using only five bolometers.

Background: Geographic stent-ostium mismatch is an important predictor of target lesion failure after percutaneous coronary intervention of an aorto-ostial right coronary artery lesion. Optimal visualization of the aorto-ostial plane is crucial for precise stent implantation at the level of the ostium. This study investigates whether preprocedural 3-dimensional computed tomography (3DCT), with determination of the optimal viewing angle, would allow for more precise stent implantation and reduce procedure time, contrast, and radiation dose.

Background Endoscopic dilatation is the cornerstone therapy for esophageal strictures. The primary indication for dilatation is to provide immediate and durable symptomatic relief from dysphagia. Following esophageal dilatation, the two most common major consequences are bleeding and perforation, both of which are quite rare.

Background And Purpose: Understanding the cellular and molecular effect of proton radiation, particularly the increased DNA damage complexity at the distal end of the Bragg curve, is current topic of investigation. This work aims to study clonogenic survival and DNA damage foci kinetics of a head and neck squamous cell carcinoma cell line at various positions along a double passively scattered Bragg curve. Complementary studies are conducted to gain insights into the link between cell survival variations, experimentally yielded foci and the number and complexity of double strand breaks (DSBs).

Background: Subtotal and total glossectomies for advanced tongue cancer result in significant speech- and swallow-related morbidity, impairing quality of life. This prospective pilot study compares the safety and functional outcomes associated with using a chimeric innervated muscle and fasciocutaneous flap for soft tissue reconstruction.
Materials And Methods: A prospective, non-randomized controlled pilot study evaluated a standardized technique for tongue reconstruction using a chimeric innervated vastus lateralis muscle and anterolateral thigh fasciocutaneous flap.

Metamaterials hold great promise for application in the field of perfect absorbers due to their remarkable ability to manipulate electromagnetic waves. In this work, a full-spectrum ultra-wideband solar absorber with a multilayer metal-dielectric stacked structure is designed. Our absorber is simple and easy to manufacture, with Ti serving as the substrate, overlaid with SiN spacer layers and four pairs of Ti-SiN ring columns.
