This paper reports an integrated 256-channel epiretinal prosthesis circuit (IC). system consists of a power telemetry subsystem to deliver 100 mW power, data transfer 2 Mbps data, digital controllers decode stimulation patterns, and stimulator generate user programmable bi-phasic current stimuli. In this study, dual-band is adopted achieve both high efficiency rate. Frequencies 22 MHz are chosen for carrier frequencies, respectively. A mixed-mode multiple-voltage design applied the...
Taiwan experienced two waves of imported infections with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). This study aimed at investigating the genomic variation severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in and compared their evolutionary trajectories global strains. We performed culture full-genome sequencing SARS-CoV-2 strains followed by phylogenetic analysis. A 382-nucleotides deletion open reading frame 8 (ORF8) was found a Taiwanese strain isolated from patient on February 4,...
Delirium is common in mechanically ventilated patients the ICU and associated with short- long-term morbidity mortality. The use of systemic corticosteroids also ICU. Outside setting, are a recognized risk factor for delirium, but their relationship delirium critically ill has not been fully evaluated. We hypothesized that corticosteroid administration would be transition to acute lung injury.Prospective cohort study.Thirteen ICUs four hospitals Baltimore, MD.Five hundred twenty adult...
Background & AimsGut dysbiosis plays a role in hepatic encephalopathy (HE), while its relationship at the acute episode of overt HE (AHE), disease progression and clinical outcomes remains unclear. We aimed to identify AHE-specific microbiome association patients' outcomes.MethodsWe profiled fecal changes for cohort 62 patients with cirrhosis AHE i) before treatment, ii) 2-3 days after medication iii) months recovery, three control cohorts healthy individuals, compensated or decompensated...
Traumatic rib fractures can cause chest complications that need further treatment and hospitalization. We hypothesized an increase in the number of displaced will be accompanied by complications. retrospectively reviewed trauma registry between January 2013 May 2015 a teaching hospital northeastern Taiwan. Patients admitted with without concomitant severe brain, splenic, pelvic or liver injuries were included. The demographic data, such as gender, age, index coexistence disease, alcohol...
This paper introduces a comprehensive approach for segmenting regions of interest (ROI) in diverse medical imaging datasets, encompassing ultrasound, CT scans, and X-ray images. The proposed method harnesses the capabilities YOLOv8 model approximate boundary box detection across modalities, alongside Segment Anything Model (SAM) High Quality (HQ) SAM fully automatic precise segmentation. To generate boxes, was trained using limited set 100 images masks from each modality.The results obtained...
Microbiota plays an important role in regulating immune responses associated with atopic diseases. We sought to evaluate relationships among airway microbiota, serum IgE levels, allergic sensitization and their relevance rhinitis asthma. Microbial characterization was performed using Illumina-based 16S rRNA gene sequencing of 87 throat swabs collected from children asthma (n = 32) 23), healthy controls 32). Data analysis QIIME (Quantitative Insights Into Ecology) v1.8. Significantly higher...
This paper presents a fully functionally integrated 1024-channel mixed-mode and mixed-voltage system-on-a-chip (SoC) for epi-retinal neural prostheses. Taking an AC input, power telemetry circuits is capable of generating multiple DC voltages with voltage conversion efficiency 83% at load 100 mW without external diodes or separate circuits, reducing the form factor prosthetic device. A wireless DPSK receiver novel noise reduction scheme supports data rate 2 Mb/s bit-error-rate × 10 <sup...
Febrile neutropenia caused by chemotherapy is a frequent medical emergency associated with severe complications in the department (ED). Timely administration of antibiotics believed to improve patient outcomes for several infectious diseases such as pneumonia and sepsis but has not been thoroughly evaluated reducing risk chemotherapy-induced febrile neutropenia. The aim this study was evaluate associations between factors serious patients presenting ED We reviewed health information system...
This paper presents a wirelessly powered, fully integrated system-on-a-chip (SoC) supporting 160-channel stimulation, 16-channel recording, and 48-channel bio-impedance characterization to enable partial motor function recovery through epidural spinal cord electrical stimulation. A wireless transceiver is designed support quasi full-duplex data telemetry at rate of 2 Mb/s. Furthermore, unique in situ scheme based on time-domain analysis implemented derive the Randles cell electrode model...
Timely and accurate outcome prediction plays a vital role in guiding clinical decisions on acute ischemic stroke. Early condition deterioration severity after the stage are determinants for long-term outcomes. Therefore, predicting early outcomes is crucial stroke management. However, interpreting predictions transforming them into clinically explainable concepts as important themselves.This work focused machine learning model analysis of used explanation skills results.Acute patients...
BACKGROUND Traumatic fractures are mainly caused by various exogenous traumatic events, which not only damage patients’ physical health but also affect their psychological state and aggravate stress responses. AIM To analyze the influencing factors of resilience patients with effect on posttraumatic growth (PTG). METHODS This study included 188 admitted to First People’s Hospital Shangqiu from November 2022 2023. The participants were categorized based patient’s assessed Connor-Davidson...
A series of structurally simple dipolar light-harvesting organic dyes featuring 1,3-cyclohexadiene in the aromatic pi framework for dye-sensitized solar cells has been synthesized and characterized. The highest conversion efficiency DSSCs based on these can reach up to 4.4%.
Epidural spinal stimulation has shown effectiveness in recovering the motor function of cord transected rats by modulating neural networks lumbosacral segments [1, 2].
