    Abstract Purpose: We report the case of a 28-year-old man who developed Elschnig's spots after stenting for an internal carotid artery dissection using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).
    Methods: A case report.
    Results: The patient developed a visual field defect in the left eye immediately after endovascular stenting for left internal carotid artery dissection. Fundus examination revealed white lesions and numerous mottled orange-red lesions in the posterior pole and mid-periphery of the left eye. Indocyanine green angiography revealed mottled hypofluorescein areas in the early and late stages, coinciding with the orange-red lesions. OCTA showed flow void areas in the choriocapillaris layer, consistent with the orange-red lesions, which were diagnosed as Elschnig's spots associated with choroidal circulatory failure. The spots disappeared approximately 2 months after surgery, and the flow void on OCTA also disappeared.
    Conclusion: We report a case of Elschnig's spots associated with transient choroidal circulatory failure after stenting for internal carotid artery dissection. OCTA detected improved circulation at the level of the choriocapillaris with the disappearance of Elschnig's spots.

    Abstract Various types of displacement sensors, which measure position changes of object, have been developed depending on the type and shape of the object under measurement, measurement range of the amount of displacement, required accuracy, and application. We are developing a new type of displacement sensor that is image-based, capable of measuring changes in 6DOF (3D position and orientation) of an object simultaneously, and is compact and low-cost. This displacement sensor measures the 6DOF of an object using images obtained by a monocular vision system. To confirm the usefulness of the proposed method, experimental measurements were conducted using a simple and inexpensive optical system. In this experiment, we were able to accurately measure changes of about 0.25 mm in displacement and 0.1 deg in inclination of the object at a distance of a few centimeters, and thus confirming the usefulness of the proposed method.

    Abstract Cardiomyocytes (CMs) have little regenerative capacity. After myocardial infarction (MI), scar formation and myocardial remodeling proceed in the infarct and non-infarct areas, respectively, leading to heart failure (HF). Prolonged activation of cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) and inflammatory cells may contribute to this process; however, therapies targeting these cell types remain lacking. Cardiac reprogramming converts CFs into induced CMs, reduces fibrosis, and improves cardiac function in chronic MI through the overexpression of Mef2c/Gata4/Tbx5/Hand2 (MGTH). However, whether cardiac reprogramming reduces inflammation in infarcted hearts remains unclear. Moreover, the mechanism through which MGTH overexpression in CFs affects inflammatory cells remains unknown. Here, we showed that inflammation persists in the myocardium until three months after MI, which can be reversed with cardiac reprogramming. Single-cell RNA sequencing demonstrated that CFs expressed pro-inflammatory genes and exhibited strong intercellular communication with inflammatory cells, including macrophages, in chronic MI. Cardiac reprogramming suppressed the inflammatory profiles of CFs and reduced the relative ratios and pro-inflammatory signatures of cardiac macrophages. Moreover, fluorescence-activated cell sorting analysis (FACS) revealed that cardiac reprogramming reduced the number of chemokine receptor type 2 (CCR2)-positive inflammatory macrophages in the non-infarct areas in chronic MI, thereby restoring myocardial remodeling. Thus, cardiac reprogramming reduced the number of inflammatory macrophages to exacerbate cardiac function after MI.

    Abstract A 1-year-old domestic shorthair cat was evaluated for a chronic history of back pain, dysuria, and paraplegia. Radiographic and computed tomographic examinations showed circumferential widening of the vertebral canal at T13 and T14. A spinal epidural abscess (SEA) compressing the spinal cord from the level of T11 to L1 was suspected following intravenous contrast administration, and was confirmed by surgical exploration and histopathological analysis. The cat recovered its motor and bladder functions following surgical decompression and antibiotic therapy. SEA is a neurological emergency requiring prompt treatment. However, the present case had a prolonged disease course and pressure atrophy of the vertebrae was strongly suspected. To our knowledge, this imaging finding has not been reported in dogs or cats with SEA.

    Abstract Flexible imagers are currently under intensive development as versatile optical sensor arrays, designed to capture images of surfaces and internals, irrespective of their shape. A significant challenge in developing flexible imagers is extending their detection capabilities to encompass a broad spectrum of infrared light, particularly terahertz (THz) light at room temperature. This advancement is crucial for thermal and biochemical applications. In this study, a flexible infrared imager is designed using uncooled carbon nanotube (CNT) sensors and organic circuits. The CNT sensors, fabricated on ultrathin 2.4 µm substrates, demonstrate enhanced sensitivity across a wide infrared range, spanning from near-infrared to THz wavelengths. Moreover, they retain their characteristics under bending and crumpling. The design incorporates light-shielded organic transistors and circuits, functioning reliably under light irradiation, and amplifies THz detection signals by a factor of 10. The integration of both CNT sensors and shielded organic transistors into an 8 × 8 active-sensor matrix within the imager enables sequential infrared imaging and nondestructive assessment for heat sources and in-liquid chemicals through wireless communication systems. The proposed imager, offering unique functionality, shows promise for applications in biochemical analysis and soft robotics.
