Background/Objectives: Prostaglandin-associated periorbitopathy (PAP) is a common treatment-related burden of prostaglandin analog (PGA) therapy that may compromise long-term glaucoma management. This study evaluated improvement in PAP and changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) af...

AmpliconSuite: an end-to-end workflow for analyzing focal amplifications in cancer genomes

Abstract Here we present AmpliconSuite, a toolkit for focal amplification analysis from cancer whole-genome sequencing that identifies extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA), breakage–fusion–bridges and other amplification modes. Its ecContext module categorizes ecDNA structures to underst...

White Blood Cell Counting in Severely Leukopenic Samples on a Sysmex XN Hematology Analyzer: Analytical Performance Evaluation of Whole Blood Mode and Low White Blood Cell Mode

Background: /L. Methods: Precision of WBC quantification in the two modes was evaluated using four samples according to the European Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (EFLM) criterion (CV% 5.6). Linearity was evaluated at five concentrations. The two modes...

All‐Sputtered Oxide n‐p Heterojunction Anti‐Ambipolar Transistors for Semantic Segmentation Networks

ABSTRACT Neuromorphic vision provides an efficient route for extracting meaningful information from visual inputs and supporting intelligent perception in dynamic environments. However, visual scenes acquired under excessive or insufficient illumination often contain distorted co...

Atropine-Associated Central Anticholinergic Syndrome during Carotid Artery Stenting: A Case Report

Acute neurobehavioral deterioration during carotid artery stenting (CAS) requires prompt evaluation for serious neurological complications. We report a patient in their 70s who developed profound hyperactive delirium approximately 15 minutes after receiving prophylactic intraveno...

Label‐Free YaxAB Nanopore Fingerprinting of Cancer‐Associated Single‐Residue Bcl‐xL Variants

Resolving cancer-associated protein variants remains difficult when variants share similar molecular masses and folded structures. Conventional assays often require labels or provide ensemble-averaged readouts, limiting their ability to resolve subtle variant differences. Here, a...

Layer-Specific Associations of Axial Length With Retinal and Choroidal Thickness: A Nationally Representative Population-Based Study

Purpose: To characterize layer-specific, potentially non-linear associations between axial length (AL) and macular ganglion cell–inner plexiform layer (GCIPL), peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), outer-retinal, and subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) in a nationally...

Torque-Based Center-of-Mass Estimation and Rollover-Aware Motion Planning for Heavy Omnidirectional Mobile Robots

Eccentric payloads redistribute wheel loads and change the forces and moments required to maneuver heavy mobile robots. This study combines torque-based center-of-mass (CoM) estimation with global and local motion planning. During aligned, quasi-static creep, normalized wheel tor...

Diagnostic performance of the Korean oral frailty screening questionnaire and diagnostic criteria for physical frailty, sarcopenia, and malnutrition: a pilot study

The association between declining oral health and function and the development of frailty, disability, and mortality has been well documented. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the Korean oral frailty diagnostic criteria and screening questionnaire for id...

Epigenetic-Targeting Regimens vs. Conventional Chemotherapy in Relapsed/Refractory PTCL: A Meta-Analysis

PurposeRelapsed/refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma (R/R PTCL) lacks a uniform salvage standard and outcomes with conventional chemotherapy (CC) remain suboptimal.This meta-analysis compared epigenetic-containing regimens (Epi-Rx) and CC in R/R PTCL. Materials and MethodsWe sea...

Experimental and numerical investigation of PCM-based cylindrical heat sinks with radially oriented fins under transient high-power loads

Phase change material (PCM)-based heat sinks buffer intermittent thermal loads, but the heating-to-solidification response of cylindrical heat sinks with radially oriented fins remains insufficiently quantified. This response was characterized experimentally, while validated simu...

Consumer Valuation of AR-Enabled Indoor Navigation in Shopping Malls: A Choice-Based Conjoint Analysis

Augmented reality (AR) indoor navigation can combine wayfinding, information, gamification, and promotions in shopping malls, but how consumers value these features is unclear. In a choice-based conjoint experiment, 295 South Korean adults aged 20–49 from an online panel chose am...

A Multidimensional Diagnosis of Smart Farming Technological Capability Across National and Regional Analytical Units: A Potential Basis for Sustainable Agricultural Innovation

Smart farming is a convergent technology domain whose upstream scientific and technological capabilities may support sustainable agricultural innovation, but a single aggregate ranking cannot show how those capabilities differ across output types and technology groups. We analyse...

Decoupled Channel and Contact Modulation in α-In2Se3/ZrO2/Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 Dual-Ferroelectric Field-Effect Transistor

Abstract Ferroelectric field-effect transistors (FeFETs) utilizing either a ferroelectric dielectric (FeD) or a ferroelectric semiconductor (FeS) are highly promising for neuromorphic computing. While integrating FeD with emerging FeS could provide new degrees of freedom for syna...

Marine-Inspired Synergistic Adhesion Enables Highly Efficient and Atraumatic Macromolecular Transdermal Delivery on Dynamic Skin

Abstract Effective transdermal drug delivery (TDD) demands both the ability to bypass the stratum corneum (ST) and the robustness to sustain delivery efficiency under real-life conditions. Despite advances in nanocarriers, microneedles, and electrostimulation, many TDDS strategie...
