Patients of idiopathic normal-pressure hydrocephalus have small dural sac in cervical and upper thoracic levels:2023 · 記述言語： 日本語 出版者・発行元： Surgical Neurology International Background: Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is a neurological disorder presenting a triad including dementia and ventricular enlargement. The mechanism causing excessive cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) accumulation in the ventricles in iNPH is poorly understood. We hypothesized that the age-related degradation of the spinal shock-absorbing system composed of a spinal dural sac (SDS) and surrounding soft tissue, preventing ventricular enlargement caused by wide CSF pulsation driven by heartbeats, may be involved in the ventricular enlargement observed in iNPH. Methods: Sixty-four patients with iNPH in their seventies who underwent a lumboperitoneal shunt and a control group of 79 people in the same age group who underwent brain check-ups were included in the study. We compared the sizes of the cervical and upper parts of the thoracic SDS using magnetic resonance imaging between the two groups. Results: The anterior-posterior distances of the dural sac at C5 were shorter in patients with iNPH of both sexes than those in the control group (P = 0.0008 in men and P = 0.0047 in women). The number of disc levels with disappeared CSF space surrounding the cervical cord was more in iNPH (P = 0.0176 and P = 0.0003). The midsagittal area of the upper part of the spinal sac, C2-Th4, was smaller in iNPH (P = 0.0057 and P = 0.0290). Conclusion: Narrowing of the cervical dural sac and midsagittal area in the upper part of the SDS in patients with iNPH may reflect the degradation of the shock-absorbing mechanism for CSF pressure pulsations, which may cause iNPH or at least aggravate iNPH by other unknown causes.

• Sakoda K., Hata H., Hata S. . Dynamical Behavior of Belief Propagation Detection Models in Massive MIMO Systems . 2023 6th International Conference on Information Communication and Sig2023 · 記述言語： 日本語 出版者・発行元： 2023 6th International Conference on Information Communication and Signal Processing, ICICSP 2023 Massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems have been proposed as a potential method for high-capacity wireless communications. The belief propagation (BP) detection has recently attracted significant attention owing to its high estimation accuracy and practical computation time in MIMO systems. Although there is a choice of models for evaluating variances of residue components in the BP detection, no comparative analysis has thus far reported. In this study, we compare the bit error rate (BER) and dynamical behavior in iterative estimation among several models. Numerical results show that the models exhibit qualitatively different dynamical behaviors, which lead consequently different decoding accuracy among models. We also discuss potential improvements of the models based on the results. DOI： 10.1109/ICICSP59554.2023.10390786 Scopus
