Analytical Modeling of Mutual Inductance in Superconducting Pancake Coils for Wireless Power Transfer Systems

This paper presents an analytical approach for calculating the mutual inductance between superconducting pancake coils in Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) systems, leveraging the improved series-form analytical expression derived from [1]. The method addresses the challenges of misalignment and complex coil geometries typical in high-temperature superconducting (HTS) applications. The results obtained from the analytical model are compared with numerical simulations and experimental data from th...

Esophageal and Oropharyngeal Dysphagia: Clinical Recommendations From the United European Gastroenterology and European Society for Neurogastroenterology and Motility

: Dysphagia is a prevalent symptom of the upper gastrointestinal tract causing health related consequences, impacting quality of life and is associated with global economic burden. Swallowing difficulties are classified into oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD) and esophageal dysphagia. Despite its clinical importance, dysphagia is associated with several uncertainties regarding its optimal diagnostic work-up and management, particularly, considering the progress with diagnostic modalities and techno...

Minimum clinically important difference of 36-item short form health survey (SF-36) to assess post-surgery quality of life in knee osteoarthritis

BACKGROUND: Quality of life in patients receiving knee arthroplasty is crucial for rehabilitation. Even if the validity of the 36-Item Short Form (SF-36) was already confirmed, the Substantial Clinical Benefit (SCB) and Patient Acceptable Symptom Score (PASS) values of this score remain unknown for both Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) and Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty (UKA). OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this research was to compute the Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID) of the SF-...
