A tunable microwave absorption metamaterial inspired by moths evading bat detection

InfoMat, EarlyView.
Electromagnetic radiation in the current environment has become complex and uncontrollable due to the advancement of wireless technology. Inspired by the moth surface cilia to bend and evade bat sonar detection, our work introduces a metamaterial incorporating broadband and tunable microwave absorption properties combined with deep learning algorithms.

Performance of a Deep Learning Algorithm for Melanoma Classification Across Diverse Dermoscopic and Tele‐Dermatology Datasets

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Early detection of melanoma significantly boosts patient survival rates. Deep learning has demonstrated dermatologist‐level accuracy in assessing pigmented skin lesions by analysing images at the pixel level. However, these neural networks may face challenges with ‘real‐life’ images due to limited training data and image artefacts ...

Evaluation of Noise in Paediatric Dentistry and Change in Perception of Operators with Use of Ear Protection Devices

Noise and Health
Background: Noise sources in paediatric dental offices include machinery and children’s cries and screams. Although the presence of occupational noise-induced hearing loss (ONIHL) among dental operators is established, preventive measures such as ear protection devices (EPDs) are not frequently employed as prophylactic ...

Effects of Marital Status on Cochlear Implant Outcomes

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Marital status was evaluated as a predictor of post‐CI speech recognition and hearing‐related QoL in 604 adults undergoing cochlear implantation. Unmarried individuals had significantly poorer speech recognition outcomes, while QoL scores did not differ; benefits of marriage were most evident among women, employed individuals, and rural residents, and ...

CT‐Based Comparison of Tracheostomy Placement Accuracy: Open Versus Percutaneous Approaches

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study provides the first objective CT‐based comparison of tracheostomy placement accuracy between open surgical and percutaneous techniques in 503 patients. Both methods achieved comparable stoma positioning relative to the cricoid cartilage, while patient factors and surgeon expertise had a greater impact on placement accuracy than the surgical ...
