Acute Hypoxic and Refractory Respiratory Failure Induced by an Underlying PFO: An Unusual Case of Platypnea Orthodeoxia and Transient Complication after Transcatheter Closure by Carlos Salazar, Romeo A. Majano

“…This condition may occur in patients with hidden intracardiac shunts, usually across a persistent foramen ovale (PFO). The incidence of PFO in general population is quite common, around 27%; however, the concurrent presentation with PO, especially in acute refractory respiratory failure, is extremely rare. …”

Persistent Visual Aura following Catheter Ablation in a Patient with WPW Syndrome by Shinichi Koyama, Mitsuru Kawamura

“…Although the relationship between migraine, catheter ablation, and right-to-left shunts is unknown, previous studies on the transcatheter closure of patent foramen ovale suggest a possible link between them. Catheter ablation in patients with migraine and preexisting shunts may lead to exacerbations in migraine symptoms.…”

EEG-to-EEG: Scalp-to-Intracranial EEG Translation Using a Combination of Variational Autoencoder and Generative Adversarial Networks by Bahman Abdi-Sargezeh, Sepehr Shirani, Antonio Valentin, Gonzalo Alarcon, Saeid Sanei

“…We propose an EEG-to-EEG translation model to map the scalp-mounted EEG (scEEG) sensor signals to intracranial EEG (iEEG) sensor signals recorded by foramen ovale sensors inserted into the brain. The model is based on a GAN structure in which a conditional GAN (cGAN) is combined with a variational autoencoder (VAE), named as VAE-cGAN. scEEG sensors are plagued by noise and suffer from low resolution. …”

Mine Geological Environment Monitoring and Risk Assessment in Arid and Semiarid Areas by Jiaqi Jin, Chicheng Yan, Yixuan Tang, Yilong Yin

“…From the distribution of surface subsidence in the study area, surface subsidence disasters mainly occur in the eastern and central mountainous areas rich in coal resources, as well as in the mining areas west of the Yellow River, and the subsidence basins are distributed in a series of irregular concentric ovals. In terms of the scale of surface subsidence in the study area, a total of 230.03 km2 of land in the study area showed surface subsidence hazards during the monitoring period, accounting for 13.78% of the total area of the study area, of which the area of severe subsidence was 44.98 km2 (2.69%). …”
