    Abstract Understanding the epitopes of antibodies elicited by infection and vaccination is often useful in immunogen design. In this chapter, we describe biolayer interferometry (BLI)-based methods to evaluate such epitopes and permit simultaneous analysis of antibodies from several sources, including monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and polyclonal serum antibodies (pAbs). Using previously characterized antibodies with known epitopes as controls, the distribution of epitopes for the influenza hemagglutinin (HA) is shown for isolated human mAbs and pooled serum from HA-immunized mice. This method is versatile, high-throughput, and can be adapted to several antigens.

    Abstract Background: During disasters (including epidemics such as coronavirus disease 2019), the capacity of emergency departments is exceeded, thereby hindering the administration of appropriate lifesaving measures. Furthermore, the number of overdose patients increases because of the stress overload during emergency situation. The fact that overdose patients are forced to be transported to medical facilities that do not typically treat them is becoming worrisome. Moreover, there is no definitive score for overdose. This study aimed to create a patient-specific scoring system to assess overdose.
    Methods: This was a retrospective single-center study. The evidence-based OD score was evaluated on a scale of 0-15. Further, logistic analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis were performed to evaluate the score.
    Results: Overall, 262 patients (including 118 overdose patients) receiving care at the intensive care unit of Japan's Teikyo University Hospital in 2021 were targeted. Regarding the total OD score, ROC analysis revealed a cutoff of 8 (area under the curve [AUC]: 0.99, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.980-0.997, sensitivity: 0.95, specificity: 0.95, p < 0.05), which was considered to indicate an overdose. Of the items evaluated in the OD score, the scenario at the location of the patient's discovery (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]: 16.8, 95% CI: 5.0-255.9, p = 0.002) and recent experience of mental anxiety (AOR: 55.7, 95% CI: 2.8-5399.5, p = 0.03) significantly predicted an overdose in multivariable logistic regression analysis. External validation revealed that the OD score could also identify overdose in patients treated in a cohort from 2022 (average cutoff: 8.6, average AUC: 1.0, p < 0.0001).
    Conclusions: The OD score could accurately assess overdose patients. Medical facilities that do not frequently address overdose patients will benefit from the use of this score.

    Abstract We describe the design of a thermometer that can be worn during everyday activities for monitoring core body temperature (CBT) at the skin surface. This sensor estimates the CBT by measuring the heat flux from the body core based on a thermal conductive model. The heat flux is usually affected by the ambient convective conditions (e.g. air conditioner or posture), which in turn affects the model's accuracy. Thus, we analytically investigated heat conduction and designed a sensor interface that would be robust to convection changes. We performed an in vitro experiment and a preliminary in vivo experiment. The accuracy of CBT in an in vitro experiments was 0.1°C for convective values ranging from 0 to 1.2 m/s. The wearable thermometer has high potential as non-invasive CBT monitor.

    Abstract Background: Penetrating thoracic trauma with coronary artery transection is a lethal injury, but is rare. We report a case of a cardiac stab wound with coronary artery transection that was successfully treated after preoperative diagnosis.
    Case presentation: A 36-year-old man was transferred to our emergency department with a left chest stab wound. A coronary computed tomography-angiography scan, including coronary angiography, revealed left hemopneumothorax and left anterior descending branch transection, with ischemic changes in the left ventricular myocardium. Given the diagnosis of coronary artery transection and the absence of injury to the surrounding arteries, we were able to perform coronary artery bypass surgery using the left internal thoracic artery. The patient's postoperative course was good, and he was discharged on foot without major complications 18 days after surgery.
    Conclusion: Unless a resuscitative thoracotomy is required, a preoperative computed tomography scan, including coronary angiography, may be useful for accurate preoperative diagnosis for patients at high risk of myocardial or coronary artery injury.

    Abstract Background: Although pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) for atrial fibrillation (AF) utilizing radiofrequency (RF) applications with a very high-power and short-duration (vHPSD) has shortened the procedure time, the determinants of pulmonary vein (PV) gaps in the first-pass PVI and acute PV reconnections are unclear.
    Methods: An extensive encircling PVI was performed with the QDOT MICRO catheter with a vHPSD (90 W-4 s) in 30 patients with AF (19 men, 64 ± 10 years). The association of the PV gap sites (first-pass PVI failure, acute PV reconnections [spontaneous reconnections or dormant conduction provoked by adenosine triphosphate] or both) with the left atrial (LA) wall thickness and LA bipolar voltage on the PVI line and ablation-related parameters were assessed.
    Results: PV gaps were observed in 29 (6%) of 480 segments (16 segments per patient) in 17 patients (56%). The PV gaps were associated with the LA wall thickness, bipolar voltage, and the number of RF points (LA wall thickness, 2.5 ± 0.5 vs. 1.9 ± 0.4 mm,
    Conclusions: The LA voltage and wall thickness on the PV-encircling ablation line were highly associated with PV gaps using the 90 W/4 s-vHPSD ablation.
