    Abstract The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has been spreading worldwide since December 2019. Hundreds of cases of children and adolescents with Kawasaki disease (KD)-like hyperinflammatory illness have been reported in Europe and the United States during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic with or without shock and cardiac dysfunction. These patients tested positive for the polymerase chain reaction or antibody test for SARS-CoV-2 or had a history of recent exposure to COVID-19. Clinicians managing such patients coined new terms for this new illness, such as COVID-19-associated hyperinflammatory response syndrome, pediatric inflammatory multisystem syndrome temporally associated with COVID-19, or COVID-19-associated multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C). The pathogenesis of MIS-C is unclear; however, it appears similar to that of cytokine storm syndrome. MIS-C shows clinical features similar to KD, but differences between them exist with respect to age, sex, and racial distributions and proportions of patients with shock or cardiac dysfunction. Recommended treatments for MIS-C include intravenous immunoglobulin, corticosteroids, and inotropic or vasopressor support. For refractory patients, monoclonal antibody to interleukin-6 receptor (tocilizumab), interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (anakinra), or monoclonal antibody to tumor necrosis factor (infliximab) may be recommended. Patients with coronary aneurysms require aspirin or anticoagulant therapy. The prognosis of MIS-C seemed favorable without sequelae in most patients despite a reported mortality rate of approximately 1.5%.

    Abstract Background: The diagnosis of coronary artery abnormalities (CAA), including dilation and aneurysm, in patients with Kawasaki disease is paramount to treatment planning. CAA are defined using various standards, which makes diagnosis difficult. The aims of this study were to determine the variability of CAA prevalence according to existing guidelines and Z score formulas and to examine the discrepancies in widely used Z score formulas.
    Methods: Using data from a Korean national survey on Kawasaki disease, 6,889 patients were included and analyzed. The overall prevalence of CAA and the prevalence for subgroups were compared on the basis of aneurysm severity, age, and body surface area. Finally, discrepancies among five Z score formulas were evaluated by comparing two of the formulas in pairs.
    Results: According to the Japanese criteria, the prevalence of CAA was 18%. According to the American Heart Association criteria, the prevalence of dilation or aneurysm was about 21% to 42%, and that of aneurysm of the left anterior descending artery or right coronary artery was about 8% to 27%. The prevalence of CAA and that of left anterior descending or right coronary artery aneurysm was significantly different, with discrepancies between the Japanese and AHA Z score criteria, as well as among the five Z score formulas. Additionally, misclassification of aneurysm severity was observed for each criterion or Z score formula. There was significant variation among calculated Z scores. The more extreme the Z score values, the more discrepancy was observed.
    Conclusions: Different guidelines and Z score formulas yield significantly different prevalence rates and classifications of CAA. In addition, more discrepancies were observed with higher Z score values. As CAA or aneurysm severity could be changed by guidelines or Z score formulas, they should be chosen carefully, and when a particular formula is chosen, consistency is needed.

    Abstract Solution-processed near-infrared (NIR)-absorbing organic solar cells (OSCs) have been explored worldwide because of their potential as donor:acceptor bulk heterojunction (BHJ) blends. In addition, NIR-absorbing OSCs have attracted attention as high specialty equipment in next-generation optoelectronic devices, such as semitransparent solar cells and NIR photodetectors, owing to their feasibility for real-time commercial application in industry. With the introduction of NIR-absorbing non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs), the value of OSCs has been increasing while organic donor materials capable of absorbing light in the NIR region have not been actively studied yet compared to NIR-absorbing acceptor materials. Therefore, we present an overall understanding of NIR donors.

    Abstract In the evolving landscape of spinal surgery, technological advancements play a pivotal role in enhancing surgical outcomes and patient experiences. This paper delves into the cutting-edge technologies underpinning endoscopic spine surgery (ESS), specifically highlighting the innovations in scope cameras, RF equipment, and drills. The modern scope camera, with its capability for high-resolution imaging, offers surgeons unparalleled visualization, enabling precise interventions. Radiofrequency (RF) equipment has emerged as a crucial tool, providing efficient energy delivery for tissue modulation without significant collateral damage. Drills, with their enhanced torque and adaptability, allow for meticulous bone work, ensuring structural integrity. As minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) becomes the standard, the integration and optimization of these technologies are paramount. This review captures the current state of these tools and anticipates their continued evolution, setting the stage for the next frontier in spinal surgery.
