Psychological profiles of readiness for advance care planning in super-aged Japan
Advance care planning (ACP) helps ensure that future medical care reflects individuals’ values and preferences. However, little is known about how multiple psychological characteristics combine to shape readiness for ACP, particularly in Japan. This study aimed to identify psycho...

Toeplitz-structured deep unfolding network for TomoSAR 3-D reconstruction
Urban area 3-D imaging is a key application of synthetic aperture radar (SAR). Classical compressive sensing-based tomographic SAR methods rely on iterative optimization, which is computationally expensive and sensitive to hyperparameter tuning, limiting its scalability for large...
- BiologyOpen access
Fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) alterations, including amplifications and fusions, are actionable oncogenic drivers in multiple cancers, but their prevalence and genomic features are not well defined. Between October 2019 and October 2024 at Samsung Medical Center, 4,...
