Anomalous Nernst effect (ANE), converting a heat flow to transverse electric voltage, originates from the Berry phase of electronic wave function near the Fermi energy . Thus, the ANE provides a sensitive probe to detect a topological state that produces large Berry curvature. In addition, a magnet that exhibits a large ANE using low-cost and safe elements will be useful to develop a novel energy harvesting technology. Here, we report our observation of a high ANE exceeding 3 microvolts per kelvin above room temperature in the kagome ferromagnet FeSn with the Curie temperature of 760 kelvin. Our theoretical analysis clarifies that a “nodal plane” produces a flat hexagonal frame with strongly enhanced Berry curvature, resulting in the large ANE. Our discovery of the large ANE in FeSn opens the path for the previously unexplored functionality of flat degenerate electronic states and for developing flexible film thermopile and heat current sensors.

Coupling Pre- and Postnatal Infant Exposures with Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Modeling to Predict Cumulative Maternal Levetiracetam Exposure During Breastfeeding.

Background And Objective: Although breastfeeding ensures optimal infant development and maternal health, mothers taking medications may abandon breastfeeding because of uncertainties regarding toxicity to infants. Current methods in predicting infant risk to maternal medication exposure do not account for breastfeeding-related variability or in utero exposure via the umbilical cord (UC). Previously, our workflow integrated variability in infant anatomy and physiology, breast milk intake volume, and drug concentrations in breast milk using physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling.

Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Relief Center, The University of Tokyo Hospital, Tokyo, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines how the height of the V wave in the central venous pressure (CVP) waveform relates to the severity of tricuspid regurgitation (TR), confirming that CVP waveform variations can indicate TR severity.
- Using preoperative data from 436 patients, researchers analyzed specific CVP waveform features with statistical methods and deep learning to capture complex patterns.
- Their findings showed significant differences in certain waveform indices correlated to TR severity, with a Transformer model achieving a high accuracy of 0.97 in validating these results.
The Diagnostic Value of ECG Characteristics for Vasospastic and Microvascular Angina: A Systematic Review.
Ann Noninvasive Electrocardiol

Laboratory of Experimental Cardiology, University Medical Center Utrecht, Utrecht University, Utrecht, The Netherlands.
Article Synopsis
- Coronary vascular dysfunction, more common in women with non-obstructive angina, includes vasospastic angina (VSA) and microvascular angina (MVA), with invasive tests being the standard but burdensome for patients.
- This study reviewed ECG characteristics linked to VSA and MVA by analyzing 30 relevant publications, revealing that repolarization changes are significant predictors for both conditions, but diagnostic evaluations in studies are scarce.
- Only a few studies stratified results by sex, indicating that while ECG could aid in noninvasive diagnosis and risk assessment, more targeted research is needed to fully understand its efficacy and potential sex differences.

One-photon fluorescent calcium imaging helps understand brain functions by recording large-scale neural activities in freely moving animals. Automatic, fast, and accurate active neuron segmentation algorithms are essential to extract and interpret information from these videos. One-photon imaging videos' low resolution, high noise, and high background fluctuation pose significant challenges.

Recently, an HFS utilizing the Anomalous Nernst Effect (ANE) has been proposed garnering significant interest in enhancing the transverse thermopower. However, ideal materials for HFS not only require a large transverse thermopower but also meet several criteria including low thermal conductivity and a bipolar nature of the transverse thermopower, especially a negative transverse thermopower.
