Optical tracking systems combined with imaging modalities such as computed tomography and magnetic reso-nance imaging are important parts of image guided surgery systems. By determining the location and orientation of sur-gical tools relative to a patient's reference system, tracking systems assist surgeons during the planning and execution of image guided procedures. Therefore, knowledge of the tracking system-induced error is of great importance. To this end, this study compared one passive and two active optical tracking systems in terms of their Target Registration Error. Two experiments were performed to measure the systems' accuracy, testing the impact of factors such as the size of the measuring volume, length of surgical instruments and environmental conditions with orthopedic procedures in mind. According to the performed experiments, the active systems achieved significantly higher accuracy than the tested passive system, reporting an overall accuracy of 0.063 mm (SD = 0.025) and 0.259 mm (SD = 0.152), respectively.

Background: Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) is a climate-sensitive zoonotic disease that poses a significant public health burden worldwide. While previous studies have established associations between meteorological factors and HFRS incidence, there remains a critical knowledge gap regarding the heterogeneity of these effects across diverse epidemic regions. Addressing this gap is essential for developing region-specific prevention and control strategies.

Introduction: SRS for the treatment of limited brain metastases (BM) is widely accepted, but there are still limitations in the management of numerous BM. Frameless single-isocenter multitarget SRS is a novel technique that allows for rapid treatment delivery to multiple BM. We report our preliminary clinical, dosimetric, and patient´s shifts outcomes with this technique.

The integration of photovoltaic (PV) technologies is vital for achieving sustainable energy solutions in isolated systems. However, A critical challenge that remains is maintaining the sustainability of these systems under the fluctuating conditions of solar irradiance, which is key for isolated energy systems. This study hypothesizes that the sustainability of PV systems can be accurately assessed through a new metric that incorporates performance consistency, variability, and resilience, using real-time energy production data alongside GIS-based solar radiation models.

Loud noise exposure is one of the leading causes of permanent hearing loss. Individuals with noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) suffer from speech comprehension deficits and experience impairments to cognitive functions such as attention and decision-making. Here, we investigate the specific underlying cognitive processes during auditory perceptual decision-making that are impacted by NIHL.

During mouse embryonic development, the embryonic day (E) 5.5 stage represents a crucial period for the formation of the primitive body axis, where the symmetry breaking of cellular states influences the multicellular system. Elucidating the detailed mechanisms of this process necessitates a trans-layered dynamic observation of the embryo and all internal cells.
