Summary: Many previously unexplained life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac deaths (SCDs) in young individuals are now recognized to be genetic in nature and are ascribed to a growing number of distinct inherited arrhythmogenic diseases. Risk assessment for SCD in patients with inherited arrhythmogenic diseases is challenging due to their lower frequency compared to coronary disease. Semi-automated systems are increasingly being used to dictate therapeutic choices, but their tendency to favour implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) implantation may not always be justified.

Summary: A 47-year-old man with Brugada syndrome presented with ongoing management following recent presyncope. During an exercise stress test, he developed broad complex tachycardia and received a shock from his defibrillator. ECG analysis revealed typical features of Brugada syndrome and the possibility of atrial flutter with aberrancy as the mechanism of the tachycardia.

Summary: This paper examines institutional reactions to shocking events from an interdisciplinary perspective combining geography and sociology. It emphasizes the analysis of outcomes at the territorial level as 'spaces of rupture and reconfiguration'. The concluding section introduces the collection of articles in the Special Issue, with this paper serving as the lead essay.

Summary: In this study, Kim et al. demonstrate that a variant of Hspa8 alters disease phenotypes in a mouse model of spinal muscular atrophy. Hspa8 plays a role in protein folding, SNARE assembly, and SMN2 splicing.

Summary: This study presents near-infrared spectroscopy of Nova Herculis 2021, revealing a rich emission line spectrum with strong coronal line emissions. The hydrogen ejected mass is estimated to have an upper limit of 1.4 x 10(-3) solar masses, and coronal lines appeared at day 11.5, the earliest onset observed for any classical nova. The vexing problem of whether collisional ionization or photoionization is responsible for coronal emission in classical novae can be resolved by correlating the temporal sequence of X-ray supersoft phase and near-infrared coronal line emission.

Summary: This article investigates the receiver design for the uplink transmission of a massive MIMO system coexisting with HTC and MTC, proposing joint device activity identification, channel estimation, and signal detection. By leveraging channel and signal sparsity, the proposed algorithms outperform conventional training-based methods, approaching the genie bound in high SNR regimes. Additionally, allowing H&M coexistence in the system leads to a significant increase in the number of admissible devices compared to orthogonal transmission approaches.

Summary: The centers of starburst galaxies have specific gas and ice chemistry, and the analysis of CO2 abundance suggests the existence of efficient sublimation mechanisms. The abundance of CO2 is higher in the central molecular zone, indicating an efficient sublimation process.

Summary: Understanding the effect of alloying elements on shock behaviors is significant for constitutive model of alloy materials at under dynamic high pressure. However, an in-depth understanding about the microscopic mechanism of alloying elements effect on plasticity and phase transition is still limited. In this work, the shock-induced plasticity and phase transition of Fe-Li alloys were investigated using non-equilibrium molecular dynamic (NEMD) simulations, in terms of the compositions of Li, crystallographic direction, and shock velocity. The results show that doping Li element reduces the yield stress (or phase change pressure) of Fe-Li alloy, and the concentration of Li element effectively activates the nucleation and multiplication of dislocation loops. However, with an increase in Li composition, phase transition is inhibited for shock along the [111] direction due to the stress release caused by dislocation multiplication. There is a strong dependence between these microscopic processes and the law of plastic wave propagation. Moreover, an increase in Li composition inhibits the diversity of phase transition variants for shock along the [110] direction, due to the destruction of initial stress and potential energy uniformity.

Summary: The study demonstrates that multiple-spot laser shocking can effectively form a large conic cup. The order of laser shocking does not affect the sheet forming precision, but improper pressure of imposed shock wave significantly decreases the precision. Once the covering ratio of laser shocking exceeds a threshold value, the sheet forming precision remains constant.

Summary: This paper presents a novel technique of submerged water-jet cavitation shocking to generate micro-feature arrays on 304 stainless foils. The forming region is categorized into jet-impact-zone, bubble-impact-zone, and periphery-impact-zone. The depth of array micro-forming peaks in the bubble-impact-zone.

Summary: Laser shock peening (LSP) is a novel surface treatment technology that involves multi-point overlay process of single-point laser shock. In this study, a finite element method (FEM) model of single-point laser shock was constructed and verified through experiments, with less than 20% difference in residual stresses between experimental and simulated results. The stress field and deformation of 20CrMnTi under different laser shock parameters were then simulated and analyzed. Based on the mechanical response of 20CrMnTi, the optimal parameters for single-point shocking via LSP were determined to be a shock energy of 5 J, a laser pulse width of 20 ns, and an impact number of 5. Lastly, a simulation of multi-point laser shock was conducted using the optimal parameters, and the residual compressive stress values of multi-point impacts were found to be similar to those of single-point impacts under the same process conditions.

Summary: The shock-and-kill strategy relies on latency reversing agents (LRAs) to reactivate HIV-1 and induce immune responses or cytopathic effects for elimination of latent virus. LRAs, particularly immunomodulatory ones, show potential for controlling HIV transcription pathways, but the precise mechanisms are not fully understood, complicating efforts to develop more efficient and safer cure strategies. Deciphering these mechanisms is crucial in designing approaches to eliminate latent HIV infection.

Summary: Bis-azolium salts with one azolium capping a perbenzylated alpha-cyclodextrin were used to generate Janus-type bimetallic complexes containing copper, silver, gold, or palladium salts. Encapsulation of one metal center inside the cavity allowed for control of (trans)metalation and oxidation reactions at specific positions. In particular, selective oxidation of Au-I to Au-III could be achieved outside the cavity of the cyclodextrin in the bis-Au-I Janus complex.
