This paper describes the application of a proposed spiral coil to the transformer of a transcutaneous energy transfer system for a totally implantable artificial heart. To reduce the number of rectifier components in the power receiving circuit, the shape of the power receiving transformer was reviewed. The results indicated that the power transmission efficiency between the transformers was almost the same as that of the receiving transformer with the same shape. In addition, the calculations indicated that the power transmission efficiency including that of the power receiving circuit was increased, and the number of components in the power receiving circuit was reduced.

Optimized workflow with hybrid (very) high-power short-duration radiofrequency ablation renders point-by-point pulmonary vein isolation as fast and effective as cryoballoon ablation.

Introduction: A hybrid approach with very high-power short-duration (vHPSD) posteriorly and ablation-index guided HPSD (50 W) anteriorly seems to be an optimal balance between efficiency and effectiveness for point-by-point pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). The aim of the current study is to compare vHPSD/HPSD ablation to cryoballoon ablation (CBA) in patients with symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF).
Methods And Results: In this retrospective single-center study, we identified 110 consecutive patients who underwent their first PVI with either vHPSD/HPSD (n = 54) or CBA (n = 56).
Effectiveness for remission maintenance rate and safety of different rituximab regimens for treating anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis in Japan: a J-CANVAS study.

Rituximab (RTX) has been reported to effectively maintain remission in anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV). In this multicenter study involving 57 patients who achieved remission after 24 weeks, we evaluated the effectiveness of RTX in maintaining remission in patients with AAV. Patients were divided into three groups based on RTX administration: continuous, induction phase-only, and maintenance phase-only groups.

A high-quality optical path alignment is essential for achieving superior image quality in optical biological microscope (OBM) systems. The traditional automatic alignment methods for OBMs rely heavily on complex masker-detection techniques. This paper introduces an innovative, image-sensor-based optical path alignment approach designed for low-power objective (specifically 4×) automatic OBMs.

Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS) panels have garnered significant attention with the emergence of next-generation network technologies. This paper proposes a novel data-driven approach that leverages Light Detecting and Ranging (LiDAR) sensors to enhance user localization and beamforming in RIS-assisted networks. Integrating LiDAR sensors into the network will be instrumental, offering high-speed and precise 3D mapping capabilities, even in low light or adverse weather conditions.
