This paper proposes miniaturized bandpass filters with double-folded substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) resonators using multilayer low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology. Formed by inserting a metal plate two orthogonal slots into the cavity, SIW resonator is used for circuit size reduction its footprint about quarter of conventional TE <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">101</sub> mode.

Surgical evacuation of spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is controversial because the traditional surgical approach sometimes causes further brain injury. The introduction neuroendoscope has brought with it new idea minimal invasiveness, which may improve results ICH.Twenty-one patients ICH underwent endoscopic hematoma between December 2010 and January 2012. Safe entry points could be Kocher's, Keen's, or Frazier's point, depending on locations hemorrhages. steps...
Increasing use of endoscopic endonasal surgery for suprasellar lesions with extension into the optic canal (OC) has necessitated a better description OC.To identify osseous OC transcranially and then investigate its anatomic relationship to key intrasphenoidal landmarks. We also aimed determine describe technical nuances safely opening falciform ligament intracanalicular dura (surrounding nerve [ON]) endonasally.Ten fresh human head silicon-injected specimens underwent an...
OBJECTIVE The foramen lacerum is a relevant skull base structure that has been neglected for many years. From the endoscopic endonasal perspective, key due to its location at crossroad between sagittal and coronal planes. objective of this study was provide detailed investigation surgical anatomy adjacent structures based on anatomical dissections imaging studies, propose several landmarks, demonstrate technique full exposure with illustrative cases. METHODS Ten colored silicone-injected...
For symptomatic nonsecreting pituitary adenomas (PAs), resection remains a critical option for treatment. In this study, the authors used large-population national database to compare endoscopic surgery (ES) nonendoscopic (NES) surgical management of PA.
ABSTRACT Introduction The nasoseptal flap (NSF) has become a widely favoured choice for reconstructing skull base defects following the endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA). However, exposed septal cartilage and bone at donor site often require an extended duration secondary healing. This study investigated whether free middle turbinate (MT) mucosa grafting could mitigate post‐operative nasal morbidity. Methods We retrospectively reviewed patients with sellar parasellar lesions who underwent...
Abstract Purpose: High-grade gliomas, including glioblastoma (GBM), are characterized by aggressive phenotypes and a high recurrence rate. Molecular subtyping within high-grade gliomas has advanced diagnostic precision opened pathways for personalized medicine. IDH mutation status, critical determinant of glioma subtypes, reflects distinct patterns in genetic profiles treatment responses. Given the poor prognosis there is an urgent need developing tools therapeutic strategies. Experimental...
ABSTRACT Objective There is limited consensus on endoscopic skull base surgery (ESBS) reconstruction principles. This study aims to generate comprehensive themes regarding ESBS by pooling the experiences of experts, with comparison a literature review current published evidence. Methods Structured qualitative interviews experts postoperative management and various defect locations were conducted. Results A total 68 comprising 40 academic teams across 13 countries an average 18 years...

The endoscopic endonasal approach provides a direct route to ventral foramen magnum (FM) lesions like meningiomas, which are difficult access. Endonasal access at the FM is limited laterally by occipital condyles and inferiorly C1 anterior arch odontoid process, may need partial resection.We investigated surgical anatomy technical nuances for endonasally increasing corridor region both inferiorly. Unique our report, we quantified amount of required medial condyle resection obtain exposure...
Impact events, which generate directional forces with extremely short impulse durations and large force magnitudes, are prevalent in both virtual reality (VR) games real-world experiences. However, despite recent advancement ungrounded feedback technologies, such as air jet propulsion propellers, these technologies remain 5-100x weaker 10-500x slower compared to impact events. For instance, they can only achieve 4N a minimal duration of 50-500ms the 20-400N generated within 1-5ms for...
Injury to the internal carotid artery (ICA) is most critical complication of endoscopic endonasal skull base surgery. Packing with a crushed muscle graft at injury site has been an effective management technique control bleeding without ICA sacrifice. Obtaining typically required access another surgical site, however. To address this concern, authors investigated application endonasally harvested longus capitis patch for injury.
Emerging electrochromic (EC) materials have advanced the frontier of thin-film, low-power, and non-emissive display technologies. While suitable for wearable or textile-based applications, current EC systems are manufactured in fixed, pre-designed patterns that hinder potential reconfigurable technologies desired by on-skin interactions. To realize customizable scalable skin wear, this paper introduces ECSkin, a construction toolkit composed modular films. Our approach enables designs...
Olfactory dysfunction can be caused by stroke but the pathogenesis is still unclear. Previous studies have proved that olfactory could microglia activation in bulb and middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) may induce ipsilateral activation. This study aimed to explore possible of ischemic stroke-induced dysfunction.We used a rat model MCAO simulate stroke. function tests were performed using buried food test. The mRNA expression marker protein (OMP), microglia/macrophage activation,...
Background: Invasive fungal rhinosinusitis (IFS) is a rare but often fatal disease. There are limited studies regarding IFS with orbital complications (IFSwOC). The present study aimed to identify the clinical signs associated IFSwOC and prognosticators of Methods: A retrospective case series was conducted patients histopathologically confirmed or clinically apparent neuro-orbital who underwent surgery between 2008 2018. Demographic data, presenting symptoms signs, culture laboratory...
Abstract BACKGROUND: The maxillary nerve (V2) can be approached via the open middle fossa approach. OBJECTIVE: To delineate anatomy of V2 and its specific segments with respect to endonasal landmarks. We present endoscopic interdural approach potential application for treatment perineural spread in sinonasal/skull base tumors. METHODS: Five human head silicon-injected specimens underwent bilateral transpterygoid approaches. prominence strut were identified lateral recess along paraclival...
Postoperative diabetes insipidus (DI) is a common complication following endoscopic sellar surgery. However, the requirement of desmopressin treatment for patients with DI are heterogenous. Although predictors postoperative have been reported, whether these required remained uninvestigated. Predicting need can benefit clinical decision making more directly than predicting occurence DI. This study aimed to identify variables that predict surgery.Patients undergoing surgery between 2016 and...
