  • In this paper, the SIW(Substrate Integrated Waveguide)-based feeding antenna for the application of SDR(Software Defined Radar) is designed and manufactured. It is usually well-known that SIWs are easily integrated on PCB and have low transmission loss toward high powered input signal. Also, it is recommended that SIWs are strongly immunized to Electromagnetic Interferences(EMI). In particular, the manufactured antennas are loaded on the USRP(Universal Software Radio Peripheral) platform and employed to detect target RCS as an experiment in this paper. The operating frequency of the proposed antenna is in ISM(Industrial, Scientific and Medical) band(2.4~2.48 GHz) and the measured gain is over 8 dBi at 2.44 GHz.

  • Background: Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) has evolved continuously over recent years, with expanded indications and better outcomes. YouTube is one of the most popular sources globally for health-related information available to patients. Evaluating the reliability of YouTube videos concerning RSA is important to ensure proper patient education. Methods: YouTube was queried for the term "reverse shoulder replacement." The first 50 videos were evaluated using three different scores: Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) benchmark criteria, the global quality score (GQS), and the reverse shoulder arthroplasty-specific score (RSAS). Multivariate linear regression analyses were conducted to determine the presence of a relationship between video characteristics and quality scores. Results: The average number of views was 64,645.78±264,160.9 per video, and the average number of likes was 414 per video. Mean JAMA, GQS, and RSAS scores were 2.32±0.64, 2.31±0.82, and 5.53±2.43, respectively. Academic centers uploaded the highest number of videos, and surgical techniques/approach videos was the most common video content. Videos with lecture content predicted higher JAMA scores whereas videos uploaded by industry predicted lower RSAS scores. Conclusions: Despite its massive popularity, YouTube videos provide a low quality of information on RSA. Introducing a new editorial review process or developing a new platform for patients' medical education may be necessary. Level of evidence: Not applicable.

  • In this paper, we propose a framework for the real-time monitoring of wireless biosensors. This is a scalable platform that requires minimum human interaction during set-up and monitoring. Its main components include a biosensor, a smart gateway to automatically set up the body area network, a mechanism for delivering data to an Internet monitoring server, and automatic data collection, profiling and feature extraction from bio-potentials. Such a system could increase the quality of life and significantly lower healthcare costs for everyone in general, and for the elderly and those with disabilities in particular.

  • Currently, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) literature has been increasing dramatically, and the increased text amount make it possible to perform large scale text mining and knowledge discovery. Therefore, curation of these texts becomes a crucial issue for Bio-medical Natural Language Processing (BioNLP) community, so as to retrieve the important information about the mechanism of COVID-19. PubAnnotation is an aligned annotation system which provides an efficient platform for biological curators to upload their annotations or merge other external annotations. Inspired by the integration among multiple useful COVID-19 annotations, we merged three annotations resources to LitCovid data set, and constructed a cross-annotated corpus, LitCovid-AGAC. This corpus consists of 12 labels including Mutation, Species, Gene, Disease from PubTator, GO, CHEBI from OGER, Var, MPA, CPA, NegReg, PosReg, Reg from AGAC, upon 50,018 COVID-19 abstracts in LitCovid. Contain sufficient abundant information being possible to unveil the hidden knowledge in the pathological mechanism of COVID-19.

  • In recent years, medical procedures have become more complex, while financial pressures for shortened hospital stays and increased efficiency in patient care have increased. As a result, several shortcomings of present film-based systems for managing medical images have become apparent. Maintaining film space is labor intensive and consumes valuable space. Because only single copies of radiological examinations exist, they are prone to being lost or misplaced, thereby consuming additional valuable time and expense. In this paper, mini-PACS for image archiving, transmission, and viewing offers a solution to these problems. Proposed mini-PACS consists of mainly four parts such as web module, client-server module, internal module, acquisition module. In addition, mini-PACS system includes DICOM converter that non-DICOM file format converts standard file format. In client-server module case, proposed system is combined both SCU (service class user: client) part and SCP(service class provider: sewer)part therefore this system provides the high resolution image processing techniques based on windows platform. Because general PACS system is too expensive for medium and small hospitals to install and operate the full-PACS. Also, we constructed web module for database connection through the WWW.

  • This study conducted a survey using Google Survey targeting 415 college students over the age of 20 to investigate college students' perceptions of the COVID-19 vaccine. As a result, the average result of 'I think the COVID-19 vaccination is necessary' for herd immunity was 3.90, and 65.8% of the 'necessity of vaccination' recognized the 'necessity of vaccination', but 35.4% negatively evaluated 'the safety of the vaccine'. showed. As for the intention to vaccinate against COVID-19, 34.7% said 'I will vaccinate as soon as the order arrives'. This showed that the current COVID-19 vaccination is not positive. As the reasons for not wanting to be vaccinated, 65.3% answered 'adverse reaction to the vaccine' and 25.8% 'distrust of the vaccine itself'. In addition, they perceived the vaccine supply between developed and underdeveloped countries as unequal, and the average was 3.94, indicating that they were afraid of adverse reactions to the COVID-19 vaccine. Therefore, in order to more effectively acquire information about the COVID-19 vaccine, research, platform development, and education on publicity methods through the media frequently used by college students are required.
