A pattern-based approach to detect irony in twitter sentiment analysis
Authors: Kumar S.
Published: March 2024

Twitter sentiment analysis poses challenges due to the informal language, limited character count, and prevalence of sarcasm, which can alter the polarity of messages. This paper presents a pattern-based approach to detect irony in Twitter sentiment analysis. By analyzing various types of irony and identifying their patterns, this paper proposes a methodology to improve the efficiency of sentiment analysis. Tweets are classified into different categories based on their sarcasm using a machine learning algorithm. The proposed approach involves feature extraction from tweets, including sentiment-related features, punctuation-related features, grammatical and phonetic features, and patternbased features. A hybrid pattern extraction with a classification model is employed to process tweet data and classify it as sarcastic or not. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach in detecting sarcasm in tweets, with precision ranging from 84.6% to 98.1% across different classifier algorithms. This pattern-based approach offers promising results for enhancing sentiment analysis on Twitter and understanding the nuances of communication in social media discourse.

Published: March 2024

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are rare mesenchymal subepithelial tumors originating from abnormal proliferation of interstitial cells of Cajal, with worldwide incidence of about 1–2 per 100,000. Herein, we report an unusual case of a 55-year-old man who presented a severe digestive hemorrhage as a rare post-surgical complication after intestinal GIST surgical removal. The patient was admitted to the Emergency Department of our center affected by abdominal epigastric pain. Different imaging techniques were performed leading to the final diagnosis of a GIST and surgical intervention planning. Immediately after intervention the patient developed a severe intestinal hemorrhage. Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) confirmed the ongoing bleeding and the patient underwent a new intervention to control the hemorrhage. The aim of the paper is to show the different imaging techniques used to assess GIST. MDCT represents the gold standard for diagnosis and in the emergency setting is used to identify post-surgical complications.

Background

Outbreaks of norovirus gastroenteritis aboard cruise ships may affect a large number of people, debilitate vulnerable travellers, disrupt vacations and cause economic losses to the cruise ship industry.

Aim

We aimed to identify risk factors for norovirus outbreaks on cruise ships and assess the effectiveness of prevention and control measures.

Methods

We conducted a systematic literature review searching PubMed and Scopus databases as well as grey literature for articles and reports describing norovirus outbreaks on cruise ships between 1990 and 2020. We also performed a meta-analysis of norovirus prevalence in passengers and crew members.

Results

Data from 45 outbreaks on 26 cruise ships from 1990 to 2020 were identified in 13 articles and five reports, with a weighted average of prevalence (attack rate) for passengers of 7% (95% confidence interval (CI): 5.00–9.00) and for crew of 2% (95% CI: 0.00–3.00). Person-to-person was the most frequent mode of transmission in 35 of the 45 outbreaks (in 14 the only mode and in 21 as part of multiple transmission routes). Having an ill cabin mate (OR = 38.70; 95% CI: 13.51–110.86) was the most common risk factor. Six outbreak investigations reported poor hygiene, while four reported satisfactory hygiene in the cruise setting. Behavioural risk factors among travellers were investigated in three of the 13 studies.

Conclusions

The findings indicate a need for behavioural interventions to improve personal hygiene, symptom reporting and compliance with isolation measures, and for reconsidering current isolation policies where symptomatic and healthy individuals are isolated in the same cabin.

The truth of CT-based navigation assisted curved periacetabular osteotomy
Authors: Tokunaga Kunihiko , Hiraiwa Toshihito
Published: March 2024

Curved periacetabular osteotomy (CPO) is technically demanding procedure because we have to enter the osteotomy site from inside of pelvis without direct view of hip joint. To achieve this tricky procedure without troubles such as posterior column fracture or intraarticular osteotomy, we used CT-based navigation. To investigate accuracy of osteotomy in patients who underwent CT-based navigation assisted CPO, pre- and post-operative CT images were measured with three dimensional (3D) image analyzing software. The 3D image analysis demonstrated that our osteotomies were not so accurate because each standard deviation of measurement values were not small. Our clinical data showed that 73% patients developed cartilage degeneration after CPO in postoperative X-ray films. Painful hips were observed in 26.9% and one hip was converted to total hip arthroplasty within 3 years after CPO. The first reason of these inaccuracy and unsatisfaction of our CPO was lack of consensus for true target zone of rotated acetabulum in CPO. We determined each final acetabular position by checking with intraoperative fluoroscopic 2D images. The second reason was that the current CT- based navigation could only assist osteotomy of ilium and quadrilateral surface. In addition, our navigation could not assist acetabular rotation in real time. Further improvements are required to achieve more accurate and successful CPO with computer assisted surgery.

Published: March 2024

This study investigated the variability of the manual localization of anatomical landmarks of the distal femur using 3 different methods: CT, Mesh, and 3D printed models. From a CT database of 50 knees, 3D meshes were automatically generated and 3D printed. The main author performed twice, for each case, a registration of 11 distal femoral landmarks.

We investigated for each landmark and modality the:

• mean distance per modality

• averages distance between each modality

• deviation of each modality from the barycentre

• position of the new planes and axes relative to their starting position

Finally, the study was carried out on 41 knees, 9 of which had to be excluded because of 3D printing issues. 2706 manual annotations were performed.

Regarding the Intra-operator reproducibility, the average distances for each point and modality were between 1.49mm and 6.34mm. As for the analysis considering the barycenter no differences were found between the three modalities. However, some points showed more variability. But their impact on the 3 axes and the planes studied were found negligible. Mean angular variations for either axes or planes are all less than 0.5°.

In summary, no differences were found between the three modalities but some points showed more variability.
Mixed Reality improves 3D visualization and spatial awareness of bone tumors in Orthopaedic Oncology: a proof of concept study
Authors: Wong Kwok-Chuen , Sun Yan Edgar , Kumta Shekhar Madhukar
Published: March 2024

In orthopaedic oncology, computer navigation and 3D-printed guides facilitate precise osteotomies only after surgical exposure[1,2]. Visualizing virtual 3D models on the 2D flat screen of the computer station lacks depth perception and parallax compared to physical 3D models. Before surgeries start, it is challenging to mentally process and superimpose the virtual data onto patients’ anatomy for surgical assessment. Mixed Reality is an immersive technology merging real and virtual worlds, and users can interact with digital objects[3]. Through Head-Mounted Displays (HMD), surgeons directly visualize holographic models that overlay tumor patients’ anatomies in their physical environment before surgeries start. Clinical case reports of MR application are limited to spine and shoulder arthroplasty, and no data in orthopaedic oncology.
Mechanical vs Arithmetic Definitions of Coronal Plane Alignment of the Knee (CPAK) Measures Have Different Distributions: An Assessment of 3947 Cases

Published: March 2024

The Coronal Plane Alignment of the Knee (CPAK) classification has been used to describe healthy and arthritic knee alignment as well as to predict phenotypes which could benefit from kinematic alignment using soft tissue balancing during TKA. At our institution, we have access to a large database of navigated TKA procedures including intra and postoperative mechanical hip-knee-ankle angle (mHKA) measurements, which are defined differently than the aHKA. It has been previously recognized that these alternative, but related, measures of coronal alignment may have different distributions. The primary aim of this study was therefore to determine if the CPAK classification frequencies described in the original publication by MacDessi et al. for the aHKA are similar to frequencies acquired using the mHKA. A secondary aim was to categorise postoperative TKA alignment at our institution utilising the mHKA-based CPAK classification.

We analysed data from 3947 total knee arthroplasty procedures undertaken using surgical navigation at our institution between March 2007 and October 2022. The mHKA was measured directly during the registration process while JLO was calculated using the mHKA and LDFA (JLO = HKA + 2xLDFA). This was completed twice for each case using the pre and postoperative mHKA and LDFA. Each case was then categorized as one of the nine CPAK phenotypes.

The pre-operative mean mHKA was 2.00 varus using surgical navigation (compared to 0.80 varus reported by Macdessi et al. using the aHKA). The pre-operative mean JLO was 1750 (versus 1740). Using the mHKA as opposed to the aHKA resulted in more knees being categorized as Class I (34.0% vs 19.4% ) or Class IV (17.5% vs 19.8%) and fewer in Class II (19.0% vs 32.2%) and Class V (6.3% vs 14.6%). All other differences in class frequencies were within 4%. For postoperative CPAK classification, a large majority of knees (72.7%) were categorized as Class V.

Our study using mHKA determined during navigated TKA showed that the majority of preoperative arthritic knees were Class I, II, and IV in contrast to the original CPAK publication where most preoperative knees were Class I, II, and III. For TKAs at our institution, the goal was to mechanically align knees to neutral mHKA and JLO. This reflects in our postoperative results in that 73% of all postoperative TKAs were categorized as Class V.

Muscular Hypertrophic Effects of Oral Contraceptive Consumption in Women
Authors: Pinheiro João Augusto Recliski , Da Silva Luiz Augusto , Weber Vinicius Muller Reis , Malfatti Carlos Ricardo Maneck , Brasil Marcos Roberto
Published: March 2024

Hormones have several actions in the body; among their effects on effector organs, they can control the volume of skeletal muscle. The excess of hormones, in this case exogenous ones, could be altering the effects of physical exercise on skeletal muscle hypertrophy, especially after the consumption of contraceptives. Thus, we have a general objective in this work to evaluate the effects of contraceptive consumption on hypertrophy in women. We sought an integrative literature review with studies within 2001-2021, using the PubMed and Scielo databases. Seven articles were selected for a complete and coherent reading for the development of this review. Given the studies analyzed in the present study, it was possible to observe that the effects of oral contraceptives may indeed influence muscle hypertrophy. However, it can assist in preserving soft tissues, avoiding the looseness of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). For individuals aiming to enhance lean muscle mass, particularly in high-performance contexts, it is advisable to consider alternative contraceptive methods that do not disrupt the natural hormonal system. In conclusion, the OC user group did not obtain significant gains in lean mass, but their levels of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), sex hormone agglobulinal ligand (SHBG), and insulin-like growth factor (IGF1) decreased, with increasing levels of only cortisol. Thinking of high performance to increase lean muscle mass, another means of contraceptives that do not affect the physiological hormonal system should be used.

Published: March 2024

Background: Contrast Induced Encephalopathy is a known but rare complication of endovascular procedures. Patients show neurologic symptoms mimicking a stroke and include visual disturbances, motor or sensory deficits, headache, seizures, memory loss, confusion, aphasia, and coma. Irreversible neurological symptoms are rare and fatal encephalopathy is even more so. Case Report: In this article we present a case of a 75-year-old female patient who showed neurological symptoms mimicking a stroke post cerebral Digital Subtraction Angiography that was done with Iohexol as a contrast agent, as a diagnostic work up to rule out a ruptured aneurysm. Further investigations showed no arterial spasms nor dissection. Symptoms reappeared after the second contrast administration but completely resolved after the administration of steroids and fluids. Conclusion: Contrast Induced Encephalopathy should be further investigated with imaging to rule out other thromboembolic or hemorrhagic causes. Treatment via the administration of steroids and fluids have shown to be effective with complete remission of symptoms.

El subtitulado para personas sordas como discurso narratológico
Authors: Álvarez de Morales Mercado Cristina
Published: March 2024

El trabajo que presentamos surge como reflexión teórica dentro del Proyecto de investigación PRA2 del Departamento de Traducción e Interpretación de la Universidad de Granada. Se enmarca además en los estudios del subtitulado para personas sordas (SpS), una de las líneas de investigación sobre la accesibilidad en la traducción, que el grupo TRACCE viene desarrollando en los últimos años. En este trabajo estudiamos las categorías narratológicas del discurso narrativo como son la aspectualidad, la voz, el modo y el tiempo, y las aislamos para analizar si todas ellas se cumplen en el subtitulado para personas sordas. Para el análisis de la subtitulación para personas sordas nos hemos basado en el sistema de anotación utilizado por el Grupo de investigación Tracce1, que está procediendo a etiquetar un corpus de 75 películas subtituladas para sordos a través del programa Maxqda. A través de este etiquetado podemos llegar a concluir en una primera reflexión, que, efectivamente, el subtitulado para personas sordas (SpS) es un discurso narratológico porque cumple las cuatro categorías que avalan el discurso narratológico: aspecto, voz, modo y tiempo, pero además, el SpS es un discurso traducido, porque utiliza diferentes estrategias traductológicas para conseguir entidad como tal discurso.
Traducción, campo literario y sistema teatral en Galicia. Un marco teórico e histórico
Authors: Vieites Manuel
Published: March 2024

En este trabajo proponemos un marco teórico e histórico para el estudio de lo que ha sido la traducción de obra dramática en Galicia, sea en la perspectiva literaria sea en la escénica, situando como telón de fondo el proceso de configuración y reconfiguración de un campo literario y de un sistema teatral nacional desde finales del siglo diecinueve. Un proceso que desde sus inicios se configura como movimiento de lucha contra la hegemonía, que afirma su condición contrahegemónica y que incide en la producción editorial y en la teatral pero también en la consideración que la obra traducida pueda tener, sea como afirmación sea como indicio de colonización. Del análisis de los aspectos más significativos de ese trasvase textual se perfilan, como conclusión, aspectos básicos de la que debiera ser una política institucional de estudio y fomento de la traducción en Galicia.
Lengua B Inglés: Un estudio transversal sobre la comprensión oral para la interpretación
Authors: Cerezo Herrero Enrique
Published: March 2024

Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar el valor pedagógico de los ejercicios tradicionales de comprensión oral, especialmente los de elección múltiple y de rellenar huecos, en el desarrollo de la comprensión oral con vistas a la interpretación. Con frecuencia, esta tipología de ejercicios centra la atención en la comprensión de información concreta del discurso como, por ejemplo, determinadas ideas o palabras aisladas, mientras que la actividad de interpretación requiere una comprensión plena del discurso. Para el análisis propuesto, se han aunado teorías propias de la enseñanza general de lenguas, concretamente de la enseñanza de inglés como lengua extranjera, y de la interpretación con el fin de poder analizar sus exigencias y encontrar puntos de confluencia y dispersión entre ambas prácticas. Asimismo, presentaremos los resultados de un estudio empírico llevado a cabo con estudiantes de segundo curso de Traducción e Interpretación. Los datos se han obtenido a través de dos canales diferentes: una serie de pruebas diagnósticas y una encuesta para conocer la opinión de los participantes. Los resultados de este estudio confirman la necesidad de desarrollar la destreza de comprensión oral teniendo en cuenta no solo las exigencias lingüísticas, sino también cognitivas a las que un intérprete debe hacer frente en su quehacer profesional.

The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted governments to adopt various online communication strategies, including the use of social media platforms. Drawing on the crisis and emergency risk communication model, this study investigates the Facebook communication strategies employed by the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) during the COVID-19 crisis in Lebanon and examines the public engagement with these efforts. A content analysis was conducted on 2,001 posts related to COVID-19 from January 2020 to June 2021. The posts were classified into categories and the frequency and median were used to measure government posting activity and engagement. The study analyzed additional post features such as hashtags, mentions, captions, and language to provide further context to the findings. Trend analysis was also conducted to examine how the metrics varied with key events. The results show that MoPH predominantly used photos (72.00%) and the majority of its posts were published during the initial phase of the outbreak (74.20%). The most prevalent categories of posts were uncertainty reduction (54.57%), self-efficacy (30.33%), and vaccines and immunization (16.89%). MoPH’s Facebook page witnessed a surge in followers during the post-COVID-19 period, increasing by over 300.00% from the pre-COVID-19 years. Posts content, media type, and crisis stage influenced the level of public engagement. The study reveals that Facebook is effective for strategic health crisis communication. Furthermore, it provides practical insights for public sector emergency managers responsible for online communication during outbreaks.

Objective: This review aims to summarize the association between insulin resistance (IR) and symptoms of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) while explaining how nutritional interventions, specifically ketogenic diets, help manage PCOS. Mechanism: The effect of IR on diagnostic criteria for PCOS is first described, followed by how a standard diet exacerbates IR. Afterward, nutritional interventions, specifically for women with PCOS, are described. Findings in Brief: IR is associated with ovulatory dysfunction, hyperandrogenism, and polycystic ovarian morphology, which leads to metabolic abnormalities and loss of fertility. Activation of the polyol pathway, advanced glycation end-product accumulation, and hexosamine flux by hyperglycemia and IR are involved in the PCOS phenotypes and reproduction alterations. IR affects oocytes, ovaries, and the endometrium among women with PCOS, leading to infertility. However, nutritional interventions, specifically ketogenic diets, were shown to lower serum cholesterol, triglycerides, androstenedione, testosterone and attenuate IR. At the same time, high-density lipoprotein increased, promoting menstrual regularity and, eventually, providing a better environment for in vitro fertilization. Conclusion: For women with PCOS, managing IR is essential for managing their symptoms and improving fertility. Resolving glucotoxicity caused by excessive dietary glucose with a ketogenic diet is crucial for the prevention and correction of the damage associated with hyperinsulinemia and hyperglycemia, contributing to fertility.
