Article Abstract
Spiral wave dynamics in cardiac tissue are critically implicated in the pathogenesis of arrhythmias. This study investigates the effects of modulating calcium and potassium currents on spiral wave stability in a two-dimensional cardiac model. The gate variable that dynamically regulates the opening probability of ion channels also plays a significant role in the control of the spiral wave dynamics. We demonstrate that reducing gate variables accelerates wave propagation, thins spiral arms, and shortens action potential duration, ultimately inducing dynamic instability. Irregular electrocardiogram (ECG) patterns and altered action potential morphology further suggest an enhanced arrhythmogenic potential. These findings elucidate the ionic mechanisms underlying spiral wave breakup, providing both theoretical insights and practical implications for the development of targeted arrhythmia treatments.

Unlike conventional magnetic states, which lack degeneracy, the spiral spin liquid (SSL) fluctuates among degenerate spiral configurations, with ground-state wave vectors forming a continuous contour or surface in reciprocal space. At low temperatures, the field-induced crossover from the polarized ferromagnetic state to the SSL results in a large entropy increase and decalescence, indicating its potential for magnetic cooling. However, magnetic cooling using a SSL has yet to be reported.

Exposures to blasts impair hearing, despite the protection of earplugs. Liraglutide showed therapeutic effects against hearing damage induced by single-day blasts. However, the effect of liraglutide on auditory damage caused by multiday repeated blasts remains unknown.

Spiral waves are common self-organized spatiotemporal patterns in nature and experimental systems, playing a particularly crucial role in cardiac tissues and neuronal networks. Traditional spiral waves in period-2 domains typically exhibit defect lines, which can significantly influence spiral wave dynamics and have attracted considerable attention in recent years. The regulation of line defects in spiral waves holds significant implications in various domains, including cardiology and neuroscience.

We present an investigation of the dynamics of a scroll wave partially pinned to an inert cylindrical obstacle under electrical forcing in a three-dimensional Belousov-Zhabotinsky excitable medium. The freely rotating part of the scroll wave is forced to drift toward the positive electrode, while the pinned part remains attached to the obstacle, causing the scroll wave filament to elongate and its shape to change over time. Breakups of the elongated filament are also observed before the scroll wave gradually unpins and moves away from the obstacle.

For free-space optical communication, high-power, high-quality vortex beams with a high signal-to-noise ratio are critical for long-distance communication. Coherent beam combining (CBC) of vortex beams enables the enhancement of power while maintaining high beam quality.
