Research hotspots and emerging trends of deep learning applications in orthopedics: A bibliometric and visualized study

Background As a research hotspot, deep learning has been continuously combined with various research fields in medicine. Recently, there is a growing amount of deep learning-based researches in orthopedics. This bibliometric analysis aimed to identify the hotspots of deep learning applications in orthopedics in recent years and infer future research trends. Methods We screened global publication on deep learning applications in orthopedics by accessing the Web of Science Core Collection. The articles and reviews were collected without language and time restrictions. Citespace was applied to conduct the bibliometric analysis of the publications. Results A total of 822 articles and reviews were finally retrieved. The analysis showed that the application of deep learning in orthopedics has great prospects for development based on the annual publications. The most prolific country is the USA, followed by China. University of California San Francisco, and Skeletal Radiology are the most prolific institution and journal, respectively. LeCun Y is the most frequently cited author, and Nature has the highest impact factor in the cited journals. The current hot keywords are convolutional neural network, classification, segmentation, diagnosis, image, fracture, and osteoarthritis. The burst keywords are risk factor, identification, localization, and surgery. The timeline viewer showed two recent research directions for bone tumors and osteoporosis. Conclusion Publications on deep learning applications in orthopedics have increased in recent years, with the USA being the most prolific. The current research mainly focused on classifying, diagnosing and risk predicting in osteoarthritis and fractures from medical images. Future research directions may put emphasis on reducing intraoperative risk, predicting the occurrence of postoperative complications, screening for osteoporosis, and identification and classification of bone tumors from conventional imaging.
Chemical abundances from planetary nebulae in the Magellanic clouds

Heavy element abundances, in particular those of oxygen, obtained from recent spectroscopic surveys of Magellanic Cloud planetary nebulae (PN), are reviewed and compared with those derived for H regions and objects in our own galaxy. These abundances have been based on collisionally excited lines and are very sensitive to the adopted electron temperature. There is increasing evidence that temperature or density fluctuations within nebulae lead to the electron temperatures being overestimated, with the corollary that the heavy element abundances have been underestimated.
Role of Hypercalciuria in Recurrent Urinary Tract Infection in Children

Introduction: Hypercalciuria has been considered a predisposing factor for recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI) in recent studies. The mechanism may be related to uroepithelial injury by calcium microcrystals. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of idiopathic hypercalciuria with recurrent UTI in children. Materials and Methods : In this cross-sectional study, the urine calcium/creatinine ratio of 40 children aged 2-16 years with recurrent urinary tract infection (without urinary tract anomalies and voiding dysfunction) was compared with 40 age- and sex-matched healthy children. Hypercalciuria was defined as a calcium/creatinine ratio more than 0.21 in a spot urine test. Recurrent UTI was defined as at least 3 episodes of UTI during 1 year or 2 episodes in 6 months. Results: The mean age of the patients was 5±2.22 years and mean age of the control group was 5.13±1.98 years. The mean calcium/creatinine ratio in the case group (0.21±0.17) was significantly higher than the control group (0.08±0.08) (p<0.05). Hypercalciuria was detected in 47.5% of the patients in the case group and in 7.5% of the participants in the control group (P<0.001). The history of familial urolithiasis was positive in 21% of the hypercalciuric patients. There was no significant difference in the frequency of urinary symptoms between hypercalciuric and normocalciuric patients with recurrent UTI. The episodes of UTI reduced in 12/19 (63.2%) of the patients after the treatment of hypercalciuria. Conclusions: Children who suffer from recurrent UTI in the absence of urinary tract anomalies should be checked for hypercalciuria. Control of hypercalciuria may decrease UTI episodes. Keywords : Hypercalciuria; Child; Urinary Tract Infections.
Enhancement of the contrast for a hexagonal boron nitride monolayer placed on a silicon nitride/silicon substrate

We propose a visualization technique for identifying an exfoliated monolayer hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) flake placed on a SiN x /Si substrate. The use of a Si substrate with a 63 nm thick SiN x film enhanced the contrast of monolayer hBN at wavelengths of 480 and 530 nm by up to 12% and −12%, respectively. The maximum contrast for the Si substrate with SiN x is more than four times as large as that for a Si substrate with a ∼90 or ∼300 nm SiO2 film. Based on the results of the reflectance spectrum measurement and numerical calculations, the enhancement is discussed.
Measuring of similarity between verb pairs in the biomedical domain

Finding the similarity Ontology-based between two verbs in bio-medical ontology is a difficult task as there is no standard dataset available. This paper is focused on verb-based similarity. So, the similarity between two nouns is taken as the benchmark for working on the verb similarity. There is no exact idea that the verb hierarchy of wordnet is capable to calculate the verb similarity between two verbs. The finding of similarity considers three parameters such as path, link, and depth. But in this paper, in addition to the path, link, and depth parameters, we also considered parameters such as stem-similarity weighting, derivation nouns weighting, and gloss similarity weighting. Moreover, we implemented two algorithms namely Rich Hierarchy Exploration and Shallow Hierarchy Exploration on a dataset and found that there is no significant difference in its performance.
Venous intervention in chronic venous ulcer treatment and recurrence avoidance

Summary In this brief overview I will progress from superficial venous intervention for venous leg ulcers (VLU) to perforator intervention and finally to deep venous intervention. But first there are a number of concepts that must be accepted. We know that 70 % of patients with leg ulcers have a venous component (1), and in at least 40 % of those patients, ulcers will be caused by superficial venous insufficiency alone or in combination with perforator incompetence (2). Such patients will likely benefit from treatment of their superficial venous disease. One of the most important but often overlooked factors in venous ulcers is calf pump failure. Simka has reported that 45 % of patients with venous ulcers have calf pump failure (3). Thorough duplex evaluation of the venous leg ulcer patient is paramount for accurate diagnosis, the differentiation between arterial and venous components (purely arterial, venous, or mixed etiology), and the obstructive and/or incompetent nature and location of venous lesions. In obstructive venous lesions the degree of obstruction as well as how proximal the lesion extends must be known. For venous insufficiency the location (deep and/or superficial venous system) and the extent (segmental or axial) will help determine how much the incompetence contributes to the overall ulcer condition, and what lesions can be safely treated.
Microencapsulation by Spray Drying and Antioxidant Activity of Phenolic Compounds from Tucuma Coproduct (Astrocaryum vulgare Mart.) Almonds

The industrial processing of fruits in the Amazon region, such as tucuma, generates a large amount of coproducts with great nutritional potential. In this work, phenolic compounds from tucuma coproduct almonds were extracted and microencapsulated by spray drying using maltodextrin as the encapsulating agent and verified its antioxidant activity. Phenolic compounds were determined by UV spectroscopy and identified by Ultraefficiency Liquid Chromatography. Antioxidant activity was measured by ABTS and DPPH assay. Thermogravimetric techniques, infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, moisture content and water activity were applied to characterize the microparticle. The crude extract and microparticle had total polyphenols of 135.1 mg/g ± 0.078 and 130.5 mg/g ± 0.024, respectively. Caffeic and gallic acids were identified. The crude extract and the microparticle showed good antioxidant activity by ABTS and DPPH assay, justified by the presence of the phenolic compounds found. The microparticle showed spherical and heterogeneous structures and good encapsulation efficiency from the spray drying process using maltodextrin. The results show that the extract of the tucuma almond coproduct can be used as a phenolic compound-rich source and microencapsulated with possible application for functional food production.

Analysis of risk factors that influence stunting among Rwandan children under the age of five

In East Africa, 39% of all children were stunted in 2016. Rwanda reported the second highest rate at 37.7%. Globally, deaths from malnutrition stand at 45% of child deaths, creating an economic handicap for all countries. According to the World Health Organization's (WHO) goal to reduce malnutrition by 3.9% per year, all countries must define appropriate strategies. Although related research has been conducted in Rwanda, the issue of malnutrition prevails. This study assesses stunting with multiple factors, with the aim of revealing the system-wide impact of food insecurity on malnutrition. Secondary data from the Rwanda Demographic and Health Survey (RDHS) 2014-2015 were used. Variables were classified into five categories, namely the community, environment, socio-development, media, and proximate factors. To assess the risk factors for stunting, a mixed-effect logistic regression was applied and an association between different factors and stunting was determined. The prevalence of stunting was 37.7%, the average was relatively still high, compared to the global prevalence of 21.3% in 2019, and the city of Kigali comprised the lowest prevalence (22.7%) while the highest prevalence was observed in the Western Province (44.6%). The place of residence and altitude were found to be statistically significant community and environmental factors. Wealth index and parental education level were considered socio-demographic risk factors. All media factors were associated with stunting and in proximate factors, the Body Mass Index (BMI) of the mother, duration of breastfeeding, age and weight of the child at birth, sex, and birth order were statistically significant factors. In addition, infection, diarrhoea, and parasitic infection were also associated with stunting. Ensuring sustainable food security in households should go hand in hand with all strategies for eliminating all forms of malnutrition since stunting is observed in most regions where there are cases of food insecurity. Educating children is key to reducing stunting since the parents need nutrition education to better take care of their children. Public policy throughout the country should aim to improve the living standards of people. Generally, all concerned institutions accompanied with policies to eradicate malnutrition and industries providing nutrients should be promoted.

Hibiscus sabdariffa in Diabetes Prevention and Treatment—Does It Work? An Evidence-Based Review

Diabetes is currently a global health problem that is already reported as an epidemic. This metabolic disease, characterized by a disturbance in the carbohydrate, protein, and lipid metabolism, is often accompanied by disorders of several organs. Its treatment is expensive and often difficult to control. Therefore, it seems necessary to search for new drugs and solutions to facilitate therapy and reduce treatment costs. Herbal medicines are becoming more and more popular. Hibiscus sabdariffa (roselle) is a plant that grows wild in a tropical climate. It has been used in folk medicine for thousands of years. Thanks to the numerous active compounds, including polyphenols, polysaccharides, organic acids, or pectins, it is reported to exhibit hypoglycemic, antioxidant, hypotensive, and anti-lipidemic activities and numerous indirect effects that are related to them. The aim of this review was to update the knowledge about the therapeutic effects of roselle in diabetes and its comorbidities based on in vitro, animal, and human studies. After a careful analysis of the scientific literature, it can be stated that roselle is a promising product that can be used either on its own or as an addition to the conventional treatment regimens to prevent or treat diabetes and its accompanying diseases.
Software solution for the automation of touristic itinerary creation process

The incredible growth of the internet has brought changes also to tourism. Clients have gained access to larger pool of providers. Increasing demand for travel services has caused the need for automation and reduction of manual labour in the process of the creation of touristic itineraries. While needs of larger companies have been satisfied, needs of small companies for such software remain unaddressed. The goal of this thesis is to establish a software solution for the automation of touristic itinerary creation. We aim to find a solution with good complexity versus usability ratio, which would be accessible to smaller companies. Requirements for the solution came from the work processes used in such companies. The solution we propose addresses the needs of small companies in the process of the creation of touristic itineraries. It presents the system composed of the server with data required for itinerary creation and clients that run an end user application. Server and clients are connected to the same local network. Raspberry Pi 3 Model B is used as the server, and personal computers as its clients. The only requirement imposed on the clients is that they are able to run Java 8 runtime environment, which makes the solution platform independent.

Transient thermography for detection of micro-defects in multilayer thin films

Delamination and cracks within the multilayer structure are typical failure modes observed in microelectronic and micro electro mechanical system (MEMS) devices and packages. As destructive detection methods consume large numbers of devices during reliability tests, non-destructive techniques (NDT) are critical for measuring the size and position of internal defects throughout such tests. There are several established NDT methods; however, some of them have significant disadvantages for detecting defects within multilayer structures such as those found in MEMS devices. This thesis presents research into the application of transient infrared thermography as a non-destructive method for detecting and measuring internal defects, such as delamination and cracks, in the multilayer structure of MEMS devices. This technique works through the use of an infrared imaging system to map the changing temperature distribution over the surface of a target object following a sudden change in the boundary conditions, such as the application of a heat source to an external surface. It has previously been utilised in various applications, such as damage assessment in aerospace composites and verification of printed circuit board solder joint manufacture, but little research of its applicability to MEMS structures has previously been reported. In this work, the thermal behaviour of a multilayer structure containing defects was first numerically analysed. A multilayer structure was then successfully modelled using COMSOL finite element analysis (FEA) software with pulse heating on the bottom surface and observing the resulting time varying temperature distribution on the top. The optimum detecting conditions such as the pulse heating energy, pulse duration and heating method were determined and applied in the simulation. The influences of thermal properties of materials, physical dimensions of film, substrate and defect and other factors that will influence the surface temperature gradients were analytically evaluated. Furthermore, a functional relationship between the defect size and the resulting surface temperature was obtained to improve the accuracy of estimating the physical dimensions and location of the internal defect in detection. Corresponding experiments on specimens containing artificially created defects in macro-scale revealed the ability of the thermographic method to detect the internal defect. The precision of the established model was confirmed by contrasting the experimental results and numerical simulations.
Multi-Agent Trajectory Prediction with Graph Attention Isomorphism Neural Network

Multi-agent trajectory prediction is a challenging task because of the uncertainty of agents’ behaviors, interactions between agents, complex road geometry in urban environments, and imperfect/noisy agent histories. Although accurate prediction results are critical for safe and reliable intelligent driving applications (e.g., decision making, motion planning), some other applications may prefer light-weight and computation-efficient trajectory prediction models to handle dynamically changed environments. In this work, we propose a multi-agent, multi-modal Graph Attention Isomorphism Network (GAIN) based trajectory prediction framework to effectively understand and aggregate long-term interactions across agents. We also take the model complexity and computation efficiency into consideration. Experiments on both pedestrian and vehicle datasets demonstrated the effectiveness of our proposed method.
Politics, Sentiment and Virality: A Large-Scale Multilingual Twitter Analysis in Greece, Spain and United Kingdom

Social media has become extremely inﬂuential when it comes to policy making in modern societies especially in the western world (e.g., 48% of Europeans use social media every day or almost every day). Platforms such as Twitter allow users to follow politicians, thus making citizens more involved in political discussion. In the same vein, politicians use Twitter to express their opinions, debate among others on current topics and promote their political agenda aiming to inﬂuence voter behaviour. Previous studies have shown that tweets conveying negative sentiment are likely to be retweeted more frequently. In this paper, we attempt to analyse tweets of politicians from di ﬀ erent countries and explore whether their tweets follow the same trend. Utilising state-of-the-art pre-trained language models we performed sentiment analysis on hundreds of thousands of tweets collected from members of parliament of Greece, Spain and United Kingdom, including devolved administrations. We achieved this by systematically exploring and analysing the di ﬀ erences between inﬂuential and less popular tweets. Our analysis indicates that politicians’ negatively charged tweets spread more widely, especially in more recent times, and highlights interesting trends in the intersection of sentiment and popularity.
Examination of the change in sexual functions and anxiety as the pregnancy progresses and the effect of nulliparity on this change

OBJECTIVE The objective of the study is to examine the sexual functions and anxiety levels of the same pregnant women during the three periods of pregnancy, and to observe how they change between trimesters and also the effect of nulliparity on these changes. METHODS This prospective clinical study was conducted between 2019 and 2021 in the University Hospital. Healthy, heterosexual pregnant women were included in this study and were consecutively interviewed regarding their anxiety levels and sexual function in the three trimesters of pregnancy. Participants in the study filled out two questionnaires, the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) form and the beck anxiety inventory (BAI). All data were analyzed using SPSS 21 statistical software. RESULTS There were a total of 35 pregnant women who met the inclusion criteria and completed the questionnaire forms in the three trimesters of pregnancy. Nineteen of the study group were nulliparous (54.3%). FSFI scores were found to be below the cutoff value required to diagnose sexual dysfunction in all three trimesters. The anxiety scores were found to be statistically significantly compatible with mild anxiety in all three periods. In the variance analysis of the survey scores over the three periods, a statistical significance was found for both the FSFI scores and the BAI scores. It was observed that nulliparity had no effect on the change between periods. CONCLUSION Sexual functions decrease and anxiety increases as we approach the 3rd trimester of pregnancy. There was no significant effect of the parity on the significant change in sexual functions and anxiety between trimesters.
