    Abstract In a solid, the electronic subsystem can exhibit incipient order with lower point group symmetry than the crystal lattice. Ultrafast external fields that couple exclusively to electronic order parameters have rarely been investigated, however, despite their potential importance in inducing exotic effects. Here we show that when inversion symmetry is broken by the antiferromagnetic order in Cr

    Abstract Malignant ventricular arrhythmia (especially ventricular fibrillation (VF)) is the main reason which causes sudden cardiac death (SCD). This paper presents an automatic SCD-patient classifier we developed to identify patients with unexpected VF using 60-minutes continuous single-lead electrocardiograms (ECG) signals before that. Patients are classified as having SCD if the majority of their recorded ventricular repolarization (VR) is recognized as characteristic of unexpected VF. Thus, the classifier's underlying task is to recognize individual VR delineated from single-lead ECG signals as SCD VR, where VR from non-SCD patients are used as controls. With the reported clinical practices of SCD, we extracted five morphological and temporal features (both commonly used and newly developed ones) from ECG signals for VR classification. To evaluate classification performance, we trained and tested k nearest neighbor classifier, a decision tree classifier, and a Naïve Bayes classifier using five-fold cross validation on 36 one-hour ECG signals (18 from patients at risk of SCD and 18 from control people). We compared the performance of these three classifiers, and the patient-classification sensitivity is approximately 98.02-99.51%. Moreover, the k nearest neighbor with a higher accuracy (98.89%) and specificity (98.27%) performed better than the other two. Importantly, the results show obvious superiorities of performance over that in the same duration and of usefulness over several minutes given by related works.Clinical Relevance- This could be integrated into a real-time, long-term out-of-hospital SCD predictor to improve the warning veracity and bring forward the warning time, especially for patients with implantable cardiac defibrillators or pacemakers, etc..

    Abstract Recent studies have determined that the nervous system can sense and respond to signals from skeletal tissue, a process known as skeletal interoception, which is crucial for maintaining bone homeostasis. The hypothalamus, located in the central nervous system (CNS), plays a key role in processing interoceptive signals and regulating bone homeostasis through the autonomic nervous system, neuropeptide release, and neuroendocrine mechanisms. These mechanisms control the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells into osteoblasts (OBs), the activation of osteoclasts (OCs), and the functional activities of bone cells. Sensory nerves extensively innervate skeletal tissues, facilitating the transmission of interoceptive signals to the CNS. This review provides a comprehensive overview of current research on the generation and coordination of skeletal interoceptive signals by the CNS to maintain bone homeostasis and their potential role in pathological conditions. The findings expand our understanding of intersystem communication in bone biology and may have implications for developing novel therapeutic strategies for bone diseases.

    Abstract Post-traumatic peritendinous adhesion presents a significant challenge in clinical medicine. This study proposes the use of diamond-like carbon (DLC) deposited on polylactic acid (PLA) membranes as a biophysical mechanism for anti-adhesion barrier to encase ruptured tendons in tendon-injured rats. The results indicate that PLA/DLC composite membrane exhibits more efficient anti-adhesion effect than PLA membrane, with histological score decreasing from 3.12 ± 0.27 to 2.20 ± 0.22 and anti-adhesion effectiveness increasing from 21.61% to 44.72%. Mechanistically, the abundant C=O bond functional groups on the surface of DLC can reduce reactive oxygen species level effectively; thus, the phosphorylation of NF-κB and M1 polarization of macrophages are inhibited. Consequently, excessive inflammatory response augmented by M1 macrophage-originated cytokines including interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is largely reduced. For biocompatibility evaluation, PLA/DLC membrane is slowly absorbed within tissue and displays prolonged barrier effects compared to traditional PLA membranes. Further studies show the DLC depositing decelerates the release of degradation product lactic acid and its induction of macrophage M2 polarization by interfering esterase and PLA ester bonds, which further delays the fibrosis process. It was found that the PLA/DLC membrane possess an efficient biophysical mechanism for treatment of peritendinous adhesion.

    Abstract Quantum spin liquids (QSLs) are topologically ordered states of matter that host fractionalized excitations. A particular route towards a QSL is via strongly bond-dependent interactions on the hexagonal lattice. A number of Ru- and Ir-based candidate Kitaev QSL materials have been pursued, but all have appreciable non-Kitaev interactions. Using time-domain terahertz spectroscopy, we observed a broad magnetic continuum over a wide range of temperatures and fields in the honeycomb cobalt-based magnet BaCo

    Abstract Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is one of the arrhythmias that is common and serious in clinic. In this study, a novel method of AF classification with a convolutional neural network (CNN) was proposed, and particularly two cardiac rhythm features of R-R intervals and F-wave frequency spectrum were combined into the CNN for a good applicability of mobile application. Over 23 patients' ten-hours of Electrocardiogram (ECG) records were collected from the MIT-BIH database, and each of which was segmented into 10s-data fragments to train the designed CNN and evaluate the performance of the proposed method. Specifically, a total of 83,461 fragments were collected, 49,952 fragments of which are the normal fragments (type-N) and the others are the AF fragments. As results, the obtained average accuracy of the proposed method combining the two proposed features is 97.3%, which is shown a relative higher accuracy comparing with either that of the detection with the feature of R-R intervals (95.7%) or that with the feature of F-wave frequency spectrum (93.9%). Additionally, the sensitivity and the specificity of the present method are both of a high level of 97.4% and 97.2%, respectively. In conclusion, the CNN based approach by combining the R-R interval series and the F-wave frequency spectrum would be effectively to improve the performance of AF detection. Moreover, the proposed classification of AF with 10s-data fragments also could be potentially useful for a wearable real-time monitoring application for a pre-hospital screening of AF.

    Abstract This study was to assess the feasibility of using non-standardized single-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring to automatically detect atrial fibrillation (AF) with special emphasis on the combination of deep learning based algorithm and modified patch-based ECG lead. Fifty-five consecutive patients were monitored for AF in around 24 hours by patch-based ECG devices along with a standard 12-lead Holter. Catering to potential positional variability of patch lead, four typical positions on the upper-left chest were proposed. For each patch lead, the performance of automated algorithms with four different convolutional neural networks (CNN) was evaluated for AF detection against blinded annotations of two clinicians. A total of 349,388 10-second segments of AF and 161,084 segments of sinus rhythm were detected successfully. Good agreement between patch-based single-lead and standard 12-lead recordings was obtained at the position MP1 that corresponds to modified lead II, and a promising performance of the automated algorithm with an R-R intervals based CNN model was achieved on this lead in terms of accuracy (93.1%), sensitivity (93.1%), and specificity (93.4%). The present results suggest that the optimized patch-based ECG lead along by deep learning based algorithms may offer the possibility of providing an accurate, easy, and inexpensive clinical tool for mass screening of AF.

    Abstract Upon intense femtosecond photoexcitation, a many-body system can undergo a phase transition through a nonequilibrium route, but understanding these pathways remains an outstanding challenge. Here, we use time-resolved second harmonic generation to investigate a photoinduced phase transition in Ca_{3}Ru_{2}O_{7} and show that mesoscale inhomogeneity profoundly influences the transition dynamics. We observe a marked slowing down of the characteristic time τ that quantifies the transition between two structures. τ evolves nonmonotonically as a function of photoexcitation fluence, rising from below 200 fs to ∼1.4  ps, then falling again to below 200 fs. To account for the observed behavior, we perform a bootstrap percolation simulation that demonstrates how local structural interactions govern the transition kinetics. Our work highlights the importance of percolating mesoscale inhomogeneity in the dynamics of photoinduced phase transitions and provides a model that may be useful for understanding such transitions more broadly.

    Abstract This paper studies the moonpool resonance of two heaving rectangular bodies in a two-layer fluid. A mathematical model is proposed based on an eigenfunction matching approach. The motion of the two-dimensional bodies is assumed to be vertical and harmonic. Heave added mass and damping coefficients are computed to examine the hydrodynamic behavior of the twin bodies. The free surface and internal wave elevations are obtained near the resonant frequencies. The presented results and analyses reveal that there exist both Helmholtz and higher-order resonances in the two-layer fluid system, which is similar to the single-layer fluid case. It is also found that the resonances are closely associated with the free surface elevation inside moonpool gap, not the wave elevation at the interfacial surface. In addition, parametric studies have been performed to identify the dependencies of hydrodynamic behavior on geometry and density stratification.
