Published: October 2024

The rapid evolution of autonomous vehicles (AVs) demands robust and scalable diagnostic and support systems to ensure seamless operations, safety, and performance. This paper presents a framework for API-driven microservices tailored to address the unique diagnostic and support requirements of AVs. Traditional monolithic systems are insufficient for managing the complex, real-time data generated by AVs, necessitating a shift toward microservices architecture. By leveraging API-driven microservices, the proposed framework ensures modularity, scalability, and real-time communication between various vehicle components and external support systems. The framework is designed to support continuous vehicle monitoring, predictive maintenance, fault detection, and real-time decision-making, all while minimizing latency. APIs play a critical role in enabling interaction between different microservices, allowing for seamless data exchange across diverse platforms. This interoperability facilitates integration with third-party services, such as cloud-based diagnostics, real-time traffic information, and software updates. Additionally, the microservices architecture ensures fault isolation, meaning that failures in one service do not compromise the entire system. The framework also emphasizes the importance of cybersecurity and data privacy. Given the sensitive nature of AV data, API security protocols such as OAuth2 and TLS encryption are incorporated to safeguard communication between microservices and external systems. Furthermore, the design is scalable, allowing for the integration of future AV technologies and third-party service enhancements without disrupting existing functionalities. In conclusion, API-driven microservices provide an efficient, flexible, and secure solution for autonomous vehicle diagnostics and support. This framework has the potential to improve AV reliability, reduce downtime, and enhance safety by enabling real-time, data-driven decision-making and proactive maintenance. Future work may explore the integration of machine learning algorithms to further optimize diagnostics and predictive maintenance capabilities.

Neurophysiology research has demonstrated that it is possible and valuable to investigate sensory processing in scenarios involving continuous sensory streams, such as speech and music. Over the past 10 years or so, novel analytic frameworks combined with the growing participation in data sharing has led to a surge of publicly available datasets involving continuous sensory experiments. However, open science efforts in this domain of research remain scattered, lacking a cohesive set of guidelines. This paper presents an end-to-end open science framework for the storage, analysis, sharing, and re-analysis of neural data recorded during continuous sensory experiments. We propose a data structure that builds on existing custom structures (Continuous-event Neural Data), providing a precise naming convention and data types, as well as providing a workflow for storing and loading data in the general-purpose BIDS structure. The framework has been designed to interface easily with existing toolboxes, such as EelBrain, NapLib, MNE, and the mTRF-Toolbox. We present guidelines by taking both the user view (how to rapidly re-analyse existing data) and the experimenter view (how to store, analyse, and share), making the process as straightforward and accessible. Additionally, we introduce a web-based data browser that enables the effortless replication of published results and data re-analysis.

Impact of methane and other precursor emission reductions on surface ozone in Europe: scenario analysis using the European Monitoring and Evaluation Programme (EMEP) Meteorological Synthesizing Centre – West (MSC-W) model
Authors: van Caspel Willem E. , Klimont Zbigniew , Heyes Chris , Fagerli Hilde
Published: October 2024

Abstract. The impacts of future methane (CH4) and other precursor emission changes are investigated for surface ozone (O3) in the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) region excluding North America and Israel (the EMEP region, for European Monitoring and Evaluation Programme) for the year 2050. The analysis includes a current legislation (CLE) and maximum feasible technical reduction (MFR) scenario, as well as a scenario that combines MFRs with an additional dietary shift that also meets the Paris Agreement objectives with respect to greenhouse gas emissions (LOW). For each scenario, background CH4 concentrations are calculated using a probabilistic Earth system model emulator and combined with other precursor emissions in a three-dimensional Eulerian chemistry-transport model. While focus is placed on peak season maximum daily 8 h average (MDA8) O3 concentrations, a range of other indicators for health and vegetation impacts are also discussed. Our analysis shows that roughly one-third of the total peak season MDA8 reduction achieved between the 2050 CLE and MFR scenarios is attributable to CH4 reductions, resulting predominantly from CH4 emission reductions outside of the EMEP region. The impact of other precursor emission reductions is split nearly evenly between the reductions inside and outside of the EMEP region. However, the relative importance of CH4 and other precursor emission reductions is shown to depend on the choice of O3 indicator, though indicators sensitive to peak O3 show generally consistent results. The analysis also highlights the synergistic impacts of CH4 mitigation as reducing solely CH4 achieves, beyond air quality improvement, nearly two-thirds of the total global warming reduction calculated for the LOW scenario compared to the CLE case.

Authors: Ramirez Alex , Rapp Ashley B. , Santarossa Sara
Published: October 2024

Background: Extended lockdowns established to minimize the spread of COVID-19, may have affected physical activity (PA). The objective of this systematic review was to report how PA of children was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: A database search of CINAHOL, Embase, MEDLINE, PsycInfo, and Web of Science was conducted on 03/29/2021 in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Studies were included if they reported a measure of PA for children ≤18 years and were published in English in a peer-reviewed journal. The search generated 673 unique citations. After applying the criteria above, 69 articles were included. The quality of the included articles was assessed using the NIH NHLBI Study Quality Assessment Toolbox.
Results: Unstructured play, walking, and virtual PA (e.g., YouTube, online classes) were the most frequently reported modes of PA during the COVID-19 pandemic. The PA of children decreased among 89% of articles that reported changes in PA (e.g., frequency, intensity, duration, or the percentage of children who met PA recommendations) of children during the COVID-19 pandemic. Increased PA was reported more often among younger children, boys, children who lived with other children, and children with more outdoor space.
Conclusion: Globally, PA of children decreased during the COVID-19 pandemic. Further work is needed to develop policies to support global PA increases. Limitations of this review include the use of online surveys which are limited by participants ability to recall PA behaviors and access to online resources.
Stress Levels and Coping Strategies in Medical Students and its Association with Salivary IL-6 Levels
Authors: Karanth Monica , Shenoy Basti Anahita R , N Chandralekha , Reberio Cleeta
Published: October 2024

Background: Medical students face ongoing stress during their training but have developed coping mechanisms. Stress alters various physiological processes, including pro-inflammatory markers like Interleukin-6(IL-6). The present study was conducted to assess stress levels and coping strategies in medical students and their association with salivary IL-6 levels.
Methods: This descriptive study was conducted after obtaining institutional ethical clearance. A total of 76 consenting undergraduate medical students answered the Cohen’s perceived stress scale and BriefCOPE questionnaire. Unstimulated saliva was used to assess salivary IL-6 levels using a Diaclone human IL-6 ELISA kit and the data obtained was analyzed.
Results: Out of the 76 participants, 59(77.6%) were female and 17(22.4%) were male. Mild stress was reported by 9 students, moderate by 53, and severe stress by 14 students. Based on Kruskal-Wallis p test, most students used approach coping for stress of all levels. This active strategy involves problem-solving and future planning. Approach coping has shown better responses to adversity, physical health, and emotional responsiveness. Mild and moderate stressed students used acceptance, positive-refrain, and planning, while severe stressed students used planning, self-distraction, and self-blame. Despite the perceived stress, there were no significant differences in the salivary IL-6 levels among the three categories.
Conclusion: ‘Approach’ coping was commonly used and linked to positive outcomes. Despite this, a number of students have reported to experience stress. Therefore, more effective strategies are needed to handle stress and demands of the profession effectively. Further research with larger samples is recommended to explore salivary IL-6 levels’ relation to stress.

Background: Narratives convey information and emotion, evoke understanding, empathy, and connection. Healthcare professionals can use narratives to reduce burnout, benefiting them, patients, and colleagues. Story slams are narrative sharing events used for group reflection, providing an opportunity for participants and listeners to improve their well-being by processing complex emotions and identities. Story slams have traditionally been popular with creative writers and nonprofit organizations.
Methods: Following a local event hosted by The Moth, the Temple University Lewis Katz School of Medicine (LKSOM) Narrative Medicine program hosted nine story slams over five years with 93 presenters including students and health systems staff. Through a mixed-method analysis, the authors examined the stories for thematic patterns and surveyed presenters to investigate how the experience had impacted markers such as job satisfaction, stress levels, and connection to patients. Eleven presenters were interviewed to provide additional information about the impact they experienced.
Results: Patient-centered care, resilience, and the value of learning comprised over half of all themes presented. Following the event, many presenters experienced improved connections with patients, and everyone reported feeling neutral or increased satisfaction with their profession. The interviews conveyed participation, created a lasting impact, fostered a sense of community, and increased appreciation for diversity.
Conclusions: Overall, story slams nourish humanity and promote diversity, enthusiasm, and encouragement. This study and others suggest that story slams are inexpensive and effective events that can help reduce burnout and provide academic medical centers with a way to restore and cultivate community among students, physicians, and staff.
Intricacies of Using Spaced Repetition Tools

I was really intrigued to read an article by Cooper et al. that described how using spaced repetition study techniques raised GPA, USMLE Step 1, and COMLEX Level 1 results. In addition, I appreciate the writers' efforts in spreading the word about this special study technique that has been shown to improve grades. I do want to draw attention to a few areas of concern with this approach including the proper usage of the software as well as certain things that could have affected and altered the results of the study.

Gangrenous mastitis is one among the major economically important health constraint faced by goat farmers. Occurrence of gangrenous mastitis is a result of combination of host, agent and environmental factors. Alteration in any of the host, agent and environmental factors can lead to an increase in bacterial concentration and the expression of virulence factors resulting in gangrenous mastitis. The present study was conducted over a period of two years from September 2021 to September 2023. The study subjects included 30 goats affected with gangrenous mastitis, managed under semi- intensive and intensive system. The selected animals included Malabari, Jamnapari and Malabari crossbreds with age group ranging from one to eight years, parity number ranging from one to six and stage of lactation ranging from peri-parturient period, early lactation and late lactation. Information regarding the host associated and environmental risk factors were collected by a prepared proforma. Disease diagnosis was made based on clinical examination, examination of udder and milk changes. Epidemiological analysis revealed a higher occurrence of gangrenous mastitis in crossbred goats. The occurrence was also higher in the age group of 3-4 yrs, during periparturient period and in herd without proper management practices. Absence of herd and management practices like proper disinfection and isolation of animals to new shed during parturition significantly caused occurrence of gangrenous mastitis. Proper awareness regarding the epidemiological factors leading to gangrenous mastitis can help in future control strategies of caprine gangrenous mastitis.

In pigs, stress factors such as pathogenic infections, environmental conditions, and various managemental practices can lead to a disease condition known as Porcine respiratory disease complex (PRDC). The main viral agents associated with this condition are Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2), Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), swine influenza virus (SIV), porcine respiratory coronavirus (PRCV), and pseudorabies virus. A study was undertaken to assess whether PCV2 and PRRSV, alone or in combination, are present in cases of respiratory ailments of pigs in North Kerala. The presence of PCV2 was detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) targeting the open reading frame 2 (ORF2) of the virus and PRRSV was detected by reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) targeting ORF6. A total of 54 tissue and lung samples were collected and screened for the presence of PCV2 and PRRSV. Of the samples tested, PCV2 could be detected in 22 (40.74 %) and PRRSV could be detected in 13 (24.07 %) samples. Two tissue samples showed mixed infections with PCV2 and PRRSV. The result shows that viral agents associated with PRDC are prevalent in pigs in North Kerala and that coinfections are also present.
