Purpose: In brain tumor surgery, tissue shift (called brain shift) can move the surgical target and invalidate the surgical plan. A cost-effective and flexible tool, intra-operative ultrasound (iUS) with robust image registration algorithms can effectively track brain shift to ensure surgical outcomes and safety. Methods: We proposed to employ a Siamese ...

Axillary lymph node detection is crucial to staging and prognosis of the lymph node metastatic spread in breast cancer. Currently, lymphoscintigraphy and blue dye, as the conventional methods to localize sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs), are invasive and can only be performed during surgery. This stud ...

We investigate spin transport through graphene-like substrates stubbed vertically with transition-metal-dichalkogenides (TMDs). A tight-binding model is used based on a graphene-like Hamiltonian that includes di?erent types of spin-orbit coupling (SOC) terms permitted by the C3v symmetry group in TMDs/graphene-like heterostructures. The results show a spi ...

Lack of diversity in editorial boards hinders multifaceted perspectives in fields such as ecology, evolution, and conservation. We outline ten key actions for editorial boards to promote equity, diversity, and inclusion, benefiting the journal in attracting a wider readership, enhancing diversity among authors, and overcoming biases in editorial decisions.

This review aims to provide an overview of the sources and reactions of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and surfactants in soil and sediments, the surfactant-enhanced solubilisation of POPs, and the unintended consequences of surfactant-induced remediation of soil and sediments contaminated ...

Ultrasound-driven microbubbles, typically between 1 and 8 µm in diameter, are resonant scatterers that are employed as diagnostic contrast agents and emerging as potentiators of targeted therapies. Microbubbles are administered in populations whereby their radial dynamics - key to their effectiveness - are greatly affected by intrinsic (e.g. bubble size) ...

The cerebellum's involvement in cognitive, affective and motor functions is mediated by connections to different regions of the cerebral cortex. A distinctive feature of cortico-cerebellar loops that has been demonstrated in the animal work is a topographic organization that is preserved across its corticopontine, pontocerebellar, and cerebello-thalmo ...

Increasing evidence suggests that mitochondrial dysfunction and aberrant release of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) play crucial roles in early synaptic perturbations and neuropathology that drive memory deficits in Alzheimer's disease (AD). We recently showed that solubilized human amyloid beta peptide 1-42 (hAß1-42) causes rapid alterati ...

Rationale: Alcohol use is reliably preceded by discrete and contextual stimuli which, through diverse learning processes, acquire the capacity to promote alcohol use and relapse to alcohol use. Objective: We review contemporary extinction, renewal, reinstatement, occasion setting, and sex differences research within a conditioning framework of relapse to ...

Prevalence-induced concept change describes a cognitive mechanism by which someone's definition of a concept shifts as the prevalence of instances of that concept changes. While this phenomenon has been established in young adults, it is unclear how it affects older adults. In this study, we explore how prevalence-induced concept change affects older ...

Fresh biochar has been widely applied to the remediation of heavy metals in soil by its property of adsorption, but the changes in its physicochemical properties and in situ adsorption performance over time cannot be ignored. In this study, the sorption of Cd²⁺ by corn straw biochars (CB) and mun ...

Investigating the relationship between task-related hemodynamic responses and cortical excitability is challenging because it requires simultaneous measurement of hemodynamic responses while applying noninvasive brain stimulation. Moreover, cortical excitability and task-related hemodynamic responses are both associated with inter-/intra-subject variabili ...
