The kinesin-3 family contains the fastest and most processive motors of the three neuronal transport kinesin families, yet the sequence of states and rates of kinetic transitions that comprise the chemomechanical cycle and give rise to their unique properties are poorly understood. We used stopped-flow fluorescence spectroscopy and single-molecule motility assays to delineate the chemomechanical cycle of the kinesin-3, KIF1A. Our bacterially expressed KIF1A construct, dimerized via a kinesin-1 coiled-coil, exhibits fast velocity and superprocessivity behavior similar to WT KIF1A. We established that the KIF1A forward step is triggered by hydrolysis of ATP and not by ATP binding, meaning that KIF1A follows the same chemomechanical cycle as established for kinesin-1 and -2. The ATP-triggered half-site release rate of KIF1A was similar to the stepping rate, indicating that during stepping, rear-head detachment is an order of magnitude faster than in kinesin-1 and kinesin-2. Thus, KIF1A spends the majority of its hydrolysis cycle in a one-head-bound state. Both the ADP off-rate and the ATP on-rate at physiological ATP concentration were fast, eliminating these steps as possible rate-limiting transitions. Based on the measured run length and the relatively slow off-rate in ADP, we conclude that attachment of the tethered head is the rate-limiting transition in the KIF1A stepping cycle. Thus, KIF1A's activity can be explained by a fast rear-head detachment rate, a rate-limiting step of tethered-head attachment that follows ATP hydrolysis, and a relatively strong electrostatic interaction with the microtubule in the weakly bound post-hydrolysis state.

Introduction

Multiphysics is an integral part of the concepts around digital twins. In this post, I want to discuss the mechanical aspects of multiphysics in system simulations, which are critical for 3D-IC, multi-die, and chiplet design.

The physical world in which we live is growing ever more electrified. Think of the transformation that the cell phone has brought into our lives, as has the present-day migration to electronic vehicles (EVs). These products are not only feats of electronic engineering but of mechanical as well, as the electronics find themselves in new and novel forms such as foldable phones and flying cars (eVOTLs). Here, engineering domains must co-exist and collaborate to bring about the best end products possible.

Start with the electronics—chips, chiplets, IC packaging, PCB, and modules. But now put these into a new form factor that can be dropped or submerged in water or accelerated along a highway. What about drop testing, aerodynamics, and aeroacoustics? These largely computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and/or mechanical multiphysics phenomena must also be accounted for. And then how does the drop testing impact the electrical performance? The world of electronics and its vast array of end products is pushing us beyond pure electrical engineering to be more broadly minded and develop not only heterogeneous products but heterogeneous engineering teams as well.

Cadence's Unique Expertise

It's at this crossroad of complexity and electronic proliferation that Cadence shines. Let's take, for example, the latest push for higher-performing high-bandwidth memory (HBM) devices and AI data center expansion. These technologies are growing from several layers to 12, and I can't emphasize enough the importance of teamwork and integrated solutions in tackling the challenges of advanced packaging technologies and how collaboration is shaping the future of semiconductor innovation and paving the way for cutting-edge developments in the industry.

These layered electronics are powered, and power creates heat. Heat needs to be understood, and thus, the thermal integrity issues uncovered along the way must be addressed. However, electronic thermal issues are just the first domino in a chain of interdependencies. What about the thermal stress and warpage that can be caused by the powering of these stacked devices? How does that then lend to mechanical stress and even material fatigue as the temperature cycles from high to low and back through the use of the electronic device? This is just one example in a long list of many...

Cadence Multiphysics Analysis Offerings

The confluence of electrical, mechanical, and CFD is exactly why Cadence expanded into multiphysics at a significant rate starting in 2019 with the announcement of the Clarity 3D Solver and Celsius Thermal Solver products for electromagnetic (EM) and thermal multiphysics system simulations. Recent acquisitions of Numeca, Pointwise, and Cascade (now branded within Cadence as the Fidelity CFD Platform) as well as Future Facilities (now the Cadence Reality Digital Twin product line) are all adding CFD expertise. The recent addition of Beta CAE brings mechanical multiphysics to the suite of solutions available from Cadence. The full breadth of these multiphysics system analyses, spanning EM, thermal, signal integrity/power integrity (SI/PI), CFD, and now mechanical, creates a platform for digital twinning across a wide array of applications. You can learn more by viewing Cadence's Reality Digital Twin platform launch on the keynote stage at NVIDIA's GTC in March, as well as this Designed with Cadence video: NV5, NVIDIA, and Cadence Collaboration Optimizes Data Centers.

Conclusion

Ever more sophisticated electronic designs are in demand to fulfill the needs of tomorrow's technologies, driving a convergence of electrical and mechanical aspects of multiphysics in system simulations. To successfully produce the exciting new products of the future, both domains must be able to collaborate effectively and efficiently. Cadence is fully committed to developing and providing our customers with the software products they need to enable this electrical/mechanical evolution. From EM, to thermal, to SI/PI, CFD, and mechanical, Cadence is enabling digital twinning across a wide array of applications that are forging pathways to the future.

BACKGROUND:Practice on fasting prior to extubation in critically ill patients is variable. Efficacy of fasting in reducing gastric volume has not been well established. The primary objective of this study was to assess the effect of 4 h of fasting on prevalence of empty stomach using gastric ultrasonography in critically ill subjects who are fasted for extubation. The secondary objectives were to evaluate the change in gastric volumes during 4 h of fasting and to determine factors associated with empty stomach after fasting.METHODS:This was a single-center, prospective, observational study on adult ICU subjects who were enterally fed for at least 6 h continuously and mechanically ventilated. Gastric ultrasound was performed immediately prior to commencement of fasting, after 4 h of fasting, and after nasogastric (NG) aspiration after 4 h of fasting. An empty stomach was defined as a gastric volume ≤ 1.5 mL/kg.RESULTS:Forty subjects were recruited, and 38 (95%) had images suitable for analysis. The prevalence of empty stomach increased after 4 h of fasting (25 [65.8%] vs 31 [81.6%], P = .041) and after 4 h of fasting with NG aspiration (25 [65.8%] vs 34 [89.5%], P = .008). There was a significant difference in median (interquartile range) gastric volume per body weight between before fasting and 4 h after fasting (1.0 [0.5–1.8] mL/kg vs 0.4 [0.2–1.0] mL/kg, P < .001). No patient factors were associated with higher prevalence of empty stomach after 4 h of fasting.CONCLUSIONS:Most mechanically ventilated subjects had empty stomachs prior to fasting for extubation. Fasting for 4 h further increased the prevalence of empty stomach at extubation to > 80%.

BACKGROUND:This study sought to estimate the overall cumulative incidence and odds of Hospital-acquired venous thromboembolism (VTE) among critically ill children with and without exposure to invasive ventilation. In doing so, we also aimed to describe the temporal relationship between invasive ventilation and hospital-acquired VTE development.METHODS:We performed a retrospective cohort study using Virtual Pediatric Systems (VPS) data from 142 North American pediatric ICUs among children < 18 y of age from January 1, 2016–December 31, 2022. After exclusion criteria were applied, cohorts were identified by presence of invasive ventilation exposure. The primary outcome was cumulative incidence of hospital-acquired VTE, defined as limb/neck deep venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolism. Multivariate logistic regression was used to determine whether invasive ventilation was an independent risk factor for hospital-acquired VTE development.RESULTS:Of 691,118 children studied, 86,922 (12.4%) underwent invasive ventilation. The cumulative incidence of hospital-acquired VTE for those who received invasive ventilation was 1.9% and 0.12% for those who did not (P < .001). The median time to hospital-acquired VTE after endotracheal intubation was 6 (interquartile range 3–14) d. In multivariate models, invasive ventilation exposure and duration were each independently associated with development of hospital-acquired VTE (adjusted odds ratio 1.64 [95% CI 1.42–1.86], P < .001; and adjusted odds ratio 1.03 [95% CI 1.02–1.03], P < .001, respectively).CONCLUSIONS:In this multi-center retrospective review from the VPS registry, invasive ventilation exposure and duration were independent risk factors for hospital-acquired VTE among critically ill children. Children undergoing invasive ventilation represent an important target population for risk-stratified thromboprophylaxis trials.

BACKGROUND:Training in mechanical ventilation is a key goal in critical care fellowship education. Web-based simulators offer a cost-effective and readily available alternative to traditional on-site simulators. However, it is unclear how effective they are as teaching tools. In this study, we evaluated the test scores of fellows who underwent mechanical ventilation training by using a web-based simulator compared with fellows who used an on-site simulator during a mechanical ventilation course.METHODS:This was a nonrandomized controlled trial conducted as part of a mechanical ventilation course that involved 70 first-year critical care fellows. The course was identical except for the simulation technology used. One group of instructors used a traditional on-site simulator, the ASL 5000 Lung Solution (n = 39). The second group was instructed in using a web-based simulator, VentSim (n = 31). Each fellow completed a pre-course test and a post-course test by using a validated, case-based ventilator waveform examination that consisted of 5 questions with a total possible score of 100. The primary outcome was a comparison of the mean scores on the posttest between the 2 groups. The study was designed as a non-inferiority trial with a predetermined margin of 10 points.RESULTS:There was no significant difference in the mean ± SD pretest scores between the web-based and the on-site groups (21.1 ± 12.6 and 26.9 ± 13.6 respectively; P = .11). The mean ± SD posttest scores were 45.6 ± 25.0 for the web-based simulator and 43.4 ± 16.5 for on-site simulator (mean difference 2.2; one-sided 95% CI –7.0 to ∞; Pnon-inferiority = .02 [non-inferiority confirmed]). Changes in mean ± SD scores (posttest – pretest) were 25.9 ± 20.9 for the web-based simulator and 16.5 ± 15.9 for the on-site simulator (mean difference 9.4, one-sided 95% CI 0.9 to ∞; Pnon-inferiority < .001 [non-inferiority confirmed]).CONCLUSIONS:In the education of first-year critical care fellows on mechanical ventilation waveform analysis, a web-based mechanical ventilation simulator was non-inferior to a traditional on-site mechanical ventilation simulator.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:

Mechanical thrombectomy is a fundamental intervention for acute ischemic stroke treatment. While conventional techniques are effective, cyclic aspiration (CyA) shows potential for better recanalization rates. We aim to investigate factors affecting CyA and compare them with static aspiration (StA).

The Respiratory Intensive Care Assembly of the European Respiratory Society gathered in Berlin to organise the third Respiratory Failure and Mechanical Ventilation Conference in February 2024. The conference covered key points of acute and chronic respiratory failure in adults. During the 3-day conference ventilatory strategies, patient selection, diagnostic approaches, treatment and health-related quality of life topics were addressed by a panel of international experts. In this article, lectures delivered during the event have been summarised by early career members of the Assembly and take-home messages highlighted.
