Article Abstract

In this paper, we present the properties of a communication channel used for implantable devices. The human-body communication (HBC) channel was proposed for data communication in implantable devices. The impulse response was measured using a channel-mimicking model, which mimics electrical losses caused by human body tissues. Furthermore, we compared two types of channel-mimicking models to evaluate their applicability depending on the measurement environment. The resultant impulse responses of the HBC channel showed that HBC does not cause severe changes in the channel properties even when the implantable device is rotated.

There is a growing body of evidence that the interaction between various microbial organisms and the human host can affect various physical and even mental health conditions. Bidirectional communication occurs between the brain and the gut microbiome, referred to as the brain-gut-microbiome axis. During aging, changes occur to the gut microbiome due to various events and factors such as the mode of delivery at birth, exposure to medications (e.

The gut microbiota, comprising trillions of bacteria, fungi, and viruses, exists in symbiosis with the host. As the largest microbial ecosystem in the human body. The gut microbiota not only shapes the homeostasis of the intestinal microenvironment through gut-derived metabolites but also exerts regulatory effects on the functions of diverse tissues and organs throughout the body via the intricate "gut-distal organ axis" mechanism.

Educational materials advocating whole-body donation must be accurate, easy to read, and transparent, as one potential solution to the fact that the supply of donations is not keeping pace with educational demand, thereby disrupting anatomy education programs. The use of AI technologies to supplement communications with prospective donors and next of kin deserves investigation to determine whether LLM-based approaches meet the common requirements for effective communication. This study contributes to the limited literature on LLM-supported communications by presenting a comparative quantitative benchmark and an adaptable evaluation framework.

Background: Opportunistic computed tomography (CT) screening for the evaluation of sarcopenia and myosteatosis has been gaining emphasis. A fully automated artificial intelligence (AI)-integrated system for body composition assessment on CT scans is a prerequisite for effective opportunistic screening. However, no study has evaluated the implementation of fully automated AI systems for opportunistic screening in real-world clinical practice for routine health check-ups.

A growing body of evidence has documented the adverse health consequences of structural stigma across multiple marginalized groups, including sexual minorities. In light of these advancements, scholars have urged the field to refine conceptualizations of structural stigma to guide future empirical work. We heed this charge by analyzing two sets of qualitative data among gay and bisexual men obtained from a probability-based panel: 1) responses to an open-ended survey question about structural stigma (=385) and 2) in-depth interviews about their subjective experiences of structural stigma (=60).
