The state-of-the-art in cardiac MRI reconstruction
Results of the CMRxRecon challenge in MICCAI 2023
Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides detailed and quantitative evaluation of the heart’s structure, function, and tissue characteristics with high-resolution spatial–temporal imaging. However, its slow imaging speed and motion artifacts are notable limitations. Under

Centrioles are microtubule-based organelles required for the formation of centrosomes and cilia. Centriolar microtubules, unlike their cytosolic counterparts, are stable and grow very slowly, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we reconstituted in vitro the

Awareness in Robotics
An Early Perspective from the Viewpoint of the EIC Pathfinder Challenge “Awareness Inside”
While consciousness has been historically a heavily debated topic, awareness had less success in raising the interest of scholars. However, more and more researchers are getting interested in answering questions concerning what awareness is and how it can be artificially generate

Acetabular dysplasia and the risk of developing hip osteoarthritis within 4-8 years
An individual participant data meta-analysis of 18,807 hips from the World COACH consortium
Objective
To study the association between various radiographic definitions of acetabular dysplasia (AD) and incident radiographic hip osteoarthritis (RHOA), and to analyze in subgroups.
Methods
Hips free of RHOA at baseline and with follow-up within 4–8 years we ...

Sources and Transmission Routes of Carbapenem-Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Study Design and Methodology of the SAMPAN Study
Background/Objectives: The global spread of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPA) warrants collaborative action. Guidance should come from integrated One Health surveillance; however, a surveillance strategy is currently unavailable due to insufficient knowledge on t

The impact of radiofrequency thermocoagulation on brain connectivity in drug-resistant epilepsy
Insights from stereo-electroencephalography and cortico-cortical evoked potentials
Objective: To investigate whether local lesions created by stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG)–guided radiofrequency thermocoagulation (RFTC) affect distant brain connectivity and excitability in patients with focal, drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE). Methods: Ten patients with foca

On the longevity and inherent hermeticity of silicon-ICs
Evaluation of bare-die and PDMS-coated ICs after accelerated aging and implantation studies
Silicon integrated circuits (ICs) are central to the next-generation miniature active neural implants, whether packaged in soft polymers for flexible bioelectronics or implanted as bare die for neural probes. These emerging applications bring the IC closer to the corrosive body e

Wind-driven hydrodynamic and depositional patterns in shallow lakes
An exploratory modelling approach based on an archetypal case of Lake Hulun
Lake Hulun, the fifth-largest lake in China, is a shallow lake (water depth <10 m) with typical wave-dominated landforms developed around the shoreline, with a semi-enclosed bay located in its southern corner. This novel study aims to understand wind-driven hydrodynamics and i
