The main contribution of this work is the simplification of the conventional DEP setup that requires attaching wires directly to the electrodes. Wireless power from the TC generates a high output frequency and voltage, which corresponds to that used for the DEP. Therefore, a spark-gap TC was built and utilized to conduct the DEP process. Metal oxides (ZnO and Fe2 O3 ) were used as targets for the assembly. The results showed that the wirelessly powered DEP technique via a TC was successful in assembling the metal oxide particles. Positive and negative DEP phenomena were observed. Positive DEP occurred during ZnO assembly, making particles chain grow 0.92 mm toward the sparks within 60 s. Negative DEP was observed during Fe2 O3 assembly, where the repulsion of particles formed a void around the sparks with a 1.45 mm radius. The mechanism of this wireless DEP system is discussed.Ascending aortic pseudoaneurysms are rare, but life-threatening conditions, that often require intervention. While endovascular techniques have advanced significantly, the majority of these clinical scenarios preclude endovascular options and the primary treatment modality remains open surgical repair. Repair of an aortic pseudoaneurysm eroding through the sternum resulting in a pulsatile chest wall mass is technically challenging. We report the successful repair of a large ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm in a 62-year-old male with bovine arch anatomy and prior Type A dissection repair, presenting with contained rupture and a pulsatile chest wall mass.Total pancreatectomy with islet autotransplantation is a complex surgical approach for acute recurrent or chronic pancreatitis that frequently triggers extreme thrombocytosis (platelets ≥ 1000 × 109 /L). Thrombocytosis can be prothrombotic, so cytoreductive hydroxyurea is often initi
