Crucial in disease analysis and surgical planning, manual segmentation of volumetric medical scans (e.g. MRI, CT) is laborious, error-prone, and challenging to master, while fully automatic algorithms can benefit from user feedback. Therefore, with the complementary power of the latest radiological AI foundation models and virtual reality (VR)'s intui ...

Abstinence from drug use is often the result of the associated negative consequences. However, relapse occurs in a large proportion of abstinent users, and the underlying brain mechanisms are not clear. An arguably relevant brain area is the posterior paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus (pPVT ...

This secondary analysis examined the association between preexisting mental health conditions and clinical recovery trajectories in adolescents with concussion. Adolescents (13-17; n = 1238) completed clinical assessments (Post-Concussion Symptom Inventory [PCSI] =48 hours postinjury; PCSI/ Pediatric Quality of Life [PedsQL] for 3 months) and were categor ...

Mutations in the TANGO2 gene are associated with a severe neurometabolic disorder in humans, often presenting with life-threatening metabolic crisis. However, the function of TANGO2 protein remains unknown. It has recently been proposed that TANGO2 transports heme within and between cells, from a ...

Iron hydroxides play a key role in the preservation of organic matter in soils and sediments, yet the specificity and extent of their interactions with lignin-derived phenols-important source indicators for terrestrial organic matter-remain poorly understood in aquatic systems. In this study, we analyzed surface and downcore sediments along the terrestria ...

Proximal Sound Printing (PSP) is a new class of additive manufacturing (AM) processes where on-demand polymerization occurs through ultrasound waves interacting with printing material right at the proximity of the acoustic aperture by inducing cavitation. Despite recent developments in sound-based AM techniques, inherent practical limitations still remain ...

Purpose: Computer-assisted surgical navigation systems have been developed to improve the precision of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) by providing real-time guidance on implant alignment relative to patient anatomy. However, surface registration remains a key source of error that can propagate through the surgical workflow. This study investigates how pati ...

Familiarity, aptness, concreteness, metaphoricity, and structural norms for 300 two-word English metaphorical expressions (e.g., broken heart, early bird), presented in sentence context and in isolation, were obtained from 164 participants. Familiarity was conceived as the extent to which participants had previously heard or read that expression. Aptness ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are increasingly integrated into Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) research; however, the field remains fragmented with substantial variation in modeling objectives. This review provides one of the most comprehensive and detailed syntheses to date of AI/ML methods across the PFAS contaminatio ...

In this study, an innovative adaptive sliding mode fault-tolerant control approach is developed for an over-actuated vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with the capability to suppress overestimation of adaptive parameters. This method is designed to effectively address model uncertainties and actuator faults witho ...
